    • A real scientist should be able to accurately predict approximately how long a project should take. Most of the times we get to hear about their predictions, however, it is often exaggerated or misunderstood by journalists, public speakers and others. This is shown accurately in the video, as the scientists said they might be able to do it in 12 years with proper funding (then everyone began funding it and supporting it), while the king said they'd do it in 10 years.

The next sentence could be, "and then the economic collapse caused by the project and the death of the dragon, coupled with an influx of old people, caused the nation to descend into utter chaos for the next century, and killing far more people in that time than the dragon ever would have." Actions have consequences. Killing the dragon is good. What is the cost?

    • David Tucker Camps are more about indoctrination and forced labor, extremely few are purposefully killed, but I get your point and agree with it; we need to prepare for the consequences of immortality and it’s not wise to do it if we can’t suffer the consequences. The point of the video though is that death shouldn’t be viewed as part of the “natural process” of life, it should be abolished and the work around for things like over-population should be worked out. I personally think the video is fine in ignoring this, but that’s up for debate.

    • ociNNico to be fair it’s a tactical necessity. If the dragon thinks everything is still functioning the way it has been, then it has no reason to move. Even when the missile comes and he sees it, experience has taught him he’s invincible, and thus he still has no reason to move, if anything he has more reason to crush their hope by tanking the missile with his assumed invincibility. However, if he doesn’t get his food the same way he has, there’s a chance he will become enraged and leave the mountain and head for the town. Not only would that mean the missile wouldn’t hit, since the target moved, but also now there’s an angry dragon coming towards them .

    • The dragon had been attacked before. It had won every fight. Why would it be scared now? Look at it this way. If a kitten attacks you, you won't consider it a threat. If a hundred kittens attack, you might be annoyed, but still not threatened. If after dozens of years, these kittens now start throwing little pebbles at empty patches of dirt, would you be scared? No. Of course not. You might think that they're attacking, but just like the last times, you'll win the fight.

  • I know this is a big analogy for stopping natural aging, but the real takeaway here is how clever the dragon is. Why eat a kingdom full of people when you can instead spend centuries atop a mountain eating a smaller number of people consistently? Somebody needs to rewrite this from the dragon's perspective as a pro-renewable resources story.

    • @@theoheinrich529 Death is not a person killing people (like in the reaper video, convenient to put the blame on someone, but it's a fallacy). Death is, to put it bluntly, a physical event that is the result of the end of body mechanisms, nothing more. If you believe in Jesus, Allah, reincarnation, nothing or whatever doesn't change that. As for people who would want to live longer, no, I know they exist, people who watch this channel and himself are live example of that, but that is foolishness for reasons you already know. It is not possible atm (since so far, all methods to conserve the body such as cyro-pods effectively kill you in the process in the bet hope that you can be resurrected in the future), nor should it be desirable. This childish fear of death is natural, it is just survival instinct working in your brain. But we will be dead anyway eventually.

    • Seriously, a story that comes from a paper of a scholar that tells the story of aging and how society deals with it told in a fascinating and easy to digest fable (does not explain its points clearly enough for me since there are a lot of people arguing its meaning in the comments even though the author explained it clearfully in his story and moral) and all you can say is about the ender dragon and how it is easy to be killed using beds?
