Why are people unkeen to immortality that would come from technological advancements and/or AI?
Nearly everyone with whom I have talked about the mindblowing possibilities of a friendly ASI -people that hadn't heard about it before-, I have seen the same reaction: the person is skeptical and rejects the idea of immortality: "Humans are made to die", "what is the value of life then?", and sometime: "I want to die". Why does that happen? I can't understand their reaction. If you are like them, let us know your arguments.
