they need to inject more hormones

if you were able to genetically modify yourself to become immortal, would you refuse to do it because it's "degenerate"?

slice things off

drill more holes

yes I would, not only because it is degenerate though

If you were able to give yourself double strength through one injection without any visible alteration to your body, would you not do it?

no, I wouldn't

Being immortal is a living hell that you can't escape

this

You could always kill yourself and you'd most likely just die by getting hit by a car or something

I am only talking about preventing aging

I'd take the live forever injection no doubt about it

If I get to be 23 forever that is, no brainer

I'll take no aging and superhuman strength over not being called "degenerate" by some kids online.

I'm not a fan of Stirner but i'll call people who yell degeneracy at everyone spooked out of their mind

@Timo))) forever 23 is painful. Too much emotion at this age still. 27 is of better.

Yeah I'd probbly wait 4 years to take it

IQ begins to decline at an age of ~21, if you're going to live for thousands of years, that might matter more

Better halt aging when your body is at peak physical performance

Don't think it would make that much of a difference at all

Sporters tend to peak at 27

Intellectuals are never at their best at 21

Might be true but sounds overstated

@Deleted User peak performance is not measured in IQ. You need to consider neuroplasticity, developed regions of the brain later in life, developed self-awareness at older age and million of other things.

Lower strength of impulses in older brain is also more favourable in less extreme conditions.

Lower emotion.

You don't need to fight in caves any more.

If you work on yourself you only become better with age. Unless you hit 35+ where the decline is in every aspect.

I hope Chopin will spend his last years of high performance not entirely on agrarianism.

^^^

He'll spend it on alcoholism

The intellectuals of our lifetime becoming the most talented potato pickers in the world

Also IQ is funny. What if there is a person with slower problem solving skills but better precession and greater power of will? This man can solve 10x problem in a day due to endurance capabilities alone.

You can waste a high IQ no problem

you can develop a greater power of will, you can't just improve your IQ

Will sting that much more than a regular guy who achieves nothing too

@Deleted User most people don't.

Possibility is not actuality.

lol you don't think people discipline themselves?

Not many do.

Doesn't matter, they do more often than someone improving their IQ
