    Putin’s good friend and fellow enjoyer of underage kids Berlusconi also had great faith in organ transplanting to live forever. Leukemia decided not to care about his opinion tho.

    The fact that they are serious just shows how dumb they really are. We are not even close to that. The stress from that many transplants would probably reduce life expectancy. But let’s just imagine it works, you would still have to deal with brain degeneration and dementia. These are not serious people. Can we please stop allowing arrogant psychopaths to take top positions of power

    Have they ever met someone trying to live with an organ transplant? It’s not like swapping out parts for a machine. Your immune system is permanently suppressed to prevent rejection so you are at risk for so many other problems, and even if you don’t reject the organ, you will need another replacement eventually.

      It’s disturbing when you hear the idiot techbro billionaires fantasizing about engineering their own immortality, but it’s really disappointing that the most powerful world leaders are also this detached from reality. All the most powerful people are utterly delusional sociopaths.

    Honestly it’s great to know they’re struggling with their inevitable deaths. Got to sting a bit. They’re headed for the same dirt they’ve sent so many people to.

    They have a child’s understanding of the concepts… which is not particularly surprising, you don’t get to be a dictator by being well-educated, in fact it almost requires being shut off from as much knowledge as possible. They tend to be unable to hear the truth and basically force their underlings to gaslight them.

    Soon, a bunch of Chinese dissidents with the same blood type as Putin will be sentenced to death…

    Old farts should sit in care homes, not ruling nations. Term limits and the same age cutoff as the regular blue collar worker and then go paint bad pictures on your ranch like W Bush.

    I didn’t think I’d ever get a very opinion of the latter, but here we go.

    leaders of two of the world’s most technologically prominent countries muse on the prospects of transhumanism in front of a crowd of dozens

    rabid disapproval from liberals who claim that Putin and Xi got caught on a hot mic wanting to live forever so they can rule eternally or something, idk

    Seriously, the reading comprehension is abysmal in this thread. Can someone show me where Putin or Xi said they personally wished to live to 150?
