Let's talk about that!

我們來討論看看吧！

Someday humans might become immortal by uploading minds to the cloud or using bio-technologies or some other buzzwords like that.

某一天人類會藉由把大腦上傳雲端或用生物科技之類的來得到永生。

But in this video, I wanna focus on the more realistic version which is becoming a-mortal.

但在這個影片裡，我想要著重在於談論實際的「不死」。

Meaning that as long as you don't get hit by a truck, or go shopping on Black Friday your life could be extended indefinitely!

也就是只要你不要被卡車撞到或在黑色星期五去搶購，你的生命就可以無限延長！

So, if you're under 40 watching this video right now, congratulations!

所以如果在看影片的你年紀小於 40 歲的話恭喜你！

You might have a chance in becoming a-mortal by 2050.

你可能有機會在 2050 年開始「不死」。

Sounds like a great deal!

聽起來不錯！

Until you stop and think about it.

直到你認真思考。

Because after a few hours of that announcement, the result will be an epidemic of anger and depression.

因為宣布這個消息的幾個小時後，憤怒和憂鬱會蔓延。

Those unable to afford the pill will be beside themselves with rage.

沒有錢可以買到藥的人會充滿怒氣。

Throughout history, the poor comforted themselves with the fact that at least death is even-handed– the one thing money can't buy is freedom from death.

自古以來，窮苦的人以「大家有一天都會死」來安慰自己，錢買不到死亡帶來的自由。

Now you're telling me that I have to die while the rich will stay beautiful and young forever?

現在你告訴我有錢人可以永遠年輕美麗，然後我必須去死？

But also those who can afford the new pill will not be euphoric either.

買得起這種藥的人也不會多開心。

How dreadful to know that my loved ones and I can live forever, but only if we don't fall over the roof, or get shot by a terrorist!

想到我們跟愛人要不從屋頂上掉下去或不被恐怖份子射殺才可以活到永遠是多麼可怕的事。

People will stay home most of the time avoiding even the slightest risk, and the agony of losing someone you love will be unbearable.

人們會待在家裡躲避任何風險，沒辦法承受失去摯愛的痛苦。

This is some deep stuff right there.

感覺非常復雜。

And as a scientist by day, animator and professional masturbator by night, I lose my sleep wondering about this question.

白天身為一個科學家，晚上為動畫師和專業自我安慰師的我因為思考這個問題而睡不著覺。

Are we slowly becoming like what Wall-E predicted?

我們是不是慢慢地成為電影「瓦力」中預測的那個樣子呢？

Are we gonna be connected virtually and never go out?

我們會不會因為虛擬地互相連結而再也不需要出們呢？

I mean take me for example.

以我為例。

我大多時間待在室內移動畫素。

Trying to do my best on this fucking shithole of a channel.

24/7 non-stop grind.

24 小時不停地絞盡腦汁。

You can...you can now work, order food, and watch movies from the comfort of your own home.

你可以...舒服地在家工作、訂餐和看電影。

So why go out and risk dying in the future?

所以為什麼要冒著死掉的危險出門？

And of course, the million dollar question is: What will happen to the idea of marriage?

當然，最大的問題是：婚姻的概念會變怎樣呢？

Will it disappear?

它會不見嗎？

Because when you're signing that license you are assuming this thing will last 60 years tops.

因為當我們在簽這份契約時，我們預設它會持續最多六十年。

Now after you take that pill, will you be able to stand that person 500 years?

吃了這顆藥之後，你能忍受這個人五百年嗎？

10,000 years?

一萬年呢？

So many questions that make you wonder if you're actually high.

好多問題想到都覺得自己是不是吸了什麼毒。

Some experts say that by 2050 a few humans will already be a-mortal.

有些專家說 2050 年，有些人類已經可以「不死」。

Less radical forecasts speak of the next century, or the next millennium.

非激進分子們預測可能會發生在下一世紀或下一個千年。

It doesn't matter how long it takes.

不管花多久的時間。

This will happen.

From the perspective of 70,000 years of Sapiens history, what are a few millennia?

以七萬年人類的歷史來說，幾千年又算什麼？

Anyway, if you're watching this in 2050, leave a comment and tell me how accurate this video was.

總之，如果在 2050 年觀看的話，留言告訴我這支影片有多準確。
