    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?

          Not even remotely related to the part I quoted and laughed at, but I’ll humour you.

          It’s called deduction, you just need to use that gray matter of yours. Two, rather old, psychopaths muse about extending one’s lifetime. Could it be that they themselves have a vested interest in this? No, that must be a conspiracy theory by filthy liberals.

            So how does a claim regarding Russia’s technological capabilities relate to my original comment? The only person being humoured here is you.

            The way the healthy skepticism just leaves the liberal mind once a state department hit pieces comes out is laughable. You have been effortlessly oriented. Yall just eat this shit up. “Deduction”… lmao.

            Again, maybe one day show me where Putin or Xi expressed interest in extending their lifespan. You won’t.

              Your original comment literally calls Russia one of the world’s “most technologically prominent” country, stop trying to gaslight me.

              leaders of two of the world’s most technologically prominent countries

              Putin and Xi

                Dog…

                My original claim was that in none of these articles is there any evidence of Putin or Xi expressing interesting in extending their lifespan.

                It’s a claim you still have yet to disprove, btw.

                Claiming that Russia is not technologically advanced is a nonsequiter. Refusing to engage with a nonsequiter is not underhanded. And you’re not humouring anyone by backing down from your attempt to turn this conversation into one about Russia’s technological capabilities. You’re just backpedaling.

                Again, please show me where Putin or Xi expressed interest in extending their lives.
