Drinking beer and soaking ginseng, playing with mobile phones with eye drops in the middle of the night, although it is a teasing after dinner, after all, people have to be middle-aged. So the question is, if the average life span of human beings can reach 1,000 years, what will everyone do? Some people will say that after all, 1,000 years old is too long, so we should continue to play music and dance. But think about it carefully, if the average life expectancy really reaches 1,000 years, what will our world be like?
Birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature. Whether it is an animal or a human, it must go through this process of death. As the top of the food chain, human beings have no natural enemies and do not need to be frightened for survival, but as high-level intelligent creatures, humans with unique thoughts have never stopped thinking about life and life and death, nor have they ever wanted to end their longevity secrets. explore.
We all know that the human body is composed of cells, and every cell has a lifespan. When the cells of the human body age, the functions of the human body and various organs will also age. Until the end of life, if you want to extend your life, you must overcome two objective factors, disease and cell aging.
With the improvement of the economic level, the quality of our surrounding environment is constantly deteriorating. In the human world, there are various bacteria and diseases lurking, and people are always disturbed by bacterial erosion, so we want to completely It is currently impossible to solve the problem of disease. So if we start with the control of cell aging, can we extend life span?
If you want to solve the problem of cell aging, you must let aging cells have the ability to regenerate, which involves the breakthrough of human genetic code, but this technology is a long-term project. Perhaps with the progress of human civilization, in the near future, the human genetic code will have a breakthrough, but at present, people do not have the ability to change cells. In addition, we often say that the plan does not change fast. If humans really unlock the genetic code and completely control it, then in the process of putting it into practice, what kind of mutations will occur, this is impossible for humans. Predictable. Even if the life expectancy is extended, the average life expectancy is 1,000 years old, can it be achieved?It is also unknown.
Wang Jianlin often said that you still have to have a goal, first set yourself a small goal. Then we assume that the average human life span can reach 1,000 years. If this assumption is true, what will be the consequences?
First of all, we should think about a question, how is the lifespan of 1,000 years allocated, and where is the boundary of aging? What proportion should each age group account for? We all know that aging is a process. When the average life expectancy of human beings reaches about 50 years old, the organs and various functions of the body will show signs of aging, and 50 years old is also the demarcation point for human beings to age. If the life expectancy is as long as 1,000 years, how many years should be used as the demarcation point?
The body of a normal person will have obvious changes around the age of 50, so if we still use 50 as the demarcation point of aging, does that mean that the next 950 years old, humans will have a kind of aging What about face life? If you think about it, living a life of top-heavy, deaf, dazzling, and disease-ridden life every day, even if you can live to 1,000 years old, it is still a torment. What's the point?
Secondly, the extension of the average life expectancy to 1,000 years will inevitably aggravate the problem of population aging and increase the burden on young people. The average life expectancy was 70 or 80 years old, but for young people nowadays, it is already quite stressful. Many countries and regions have already experienced population aging problems. If the average life expectancy reaches 1,000 years, it means that the younger generation will spend a lot of time and energy on supporting their parents and caring for the elderly. Will the younger generation collapse after hundreds of years of support? At this time, someone will definitely say that not all elderly people are unable to live and take care of themselves without protection. We can make a hypothesis. Assuming that every elderly person has a subsistence allowance and retirement salary, on the surface, it does not cost a penny from the children. It seems to lighten the burden on young people. But let's think about it carefully, where did the wages and expenses used to ensure the living of the elderly come from? If everyone’s average life expectancy is 1,000 years old, there will be emptiness in the treasury.Serious consequences of the economic downturn.
And this is just the harm reflected by the small issue of pension. Human beings with an average life span of 1,000 years will inevitably cause excessive population density and burden the planet. This also means that the more resources humans will consume, but the resources on the earth are limited, so the average life expectancy reaches 1,000 years, which has certain disadvantages for itself, the national economy and even the living environment.
The most important point is that if the average life expectancy is 1,000 years as the time axis, and the growth process of human beings is divided on it, the original 18-year-old adult will not be considered an adult until 236 years old. The original 20-year-old youth has been dedicated to school for more than ten years. If the average life expectancy reaches 1,000 years, the life that humans will spend in school will be hundreds of years, and it will take hundreds of years to learn knowledge, although it seems It eliminates people’s anxiety about the college entrance examination, and no longer has to worry about the countdown to the college entrance examination. Does it sound terrifying to have spent hundreds of years in school? Seeing this, I believe that many friends who are tired of studying have already retreated and decisively gave up the opportunity of longevity.
In addition, according to this calculation method, people who originally retired at the age of 50 or 60 will not officially retire until the age of 789. This means that humans have to work for 553 years. In modern society, the nine-to-five life has made many young people feel stressed. People often lament that life is short, but work accounts for more than half of their lives, and they want to escape from work every day. If the average life expectancy reaches 1,000 years, the time for human labor to be exploited will also be extended by hundreds of years, which is terrible to think about.
If human beings really realize their desire to reach an average lifespan of 1,000 years, then this must be the beginning of a nightmare. The earth is riddled with holes, the population is overwhelming, and the natural resources are exhausted... all this is creepy. Although longevity has always been a beautiful pursuit in people's hearts, even if this pursuit is really realized, it must do more harm than good to our lives. Therefore, let us stay the longevity wish on the beautiful pursuit and imagination.Don't break this beautiful wish, and don't violate the human survival law for the sake of longevity. After all, birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature.
