Hi there, good to hear that we are in agreement on what makes life worth living. But just out of curiosity what did he do to give his life an entirely new meaning. Other than just extending its duration... I didn't see the whole movie because it got rather boring very quickly when I realized what he was striving to do, but maybe I missed something that made his choices more meaningful to him as you say, even if his choices of course differ from what you and I would do...

Would you choose to upload your memories to gain immortality?
Well, I see it this way: he’s a millionaire, and he’s probably already experienced all the pleasures in life that we can only dream of. The way we find joy in life is likely boring to him and doesn’t add anything new to his life anymore. He mentioned that he used to be a Mormon but left the religion, while two of his children still practice it, which creates distance between them. I think this situation also influenced what he’s doing.
It’s also interesting what he said about plasma transfusions. His child, with whom he maintains contact, donates plasma to him. It was mentioned that plasma from a young person given to an older person might help combat certain health issues. If there’s something to that, I think it could help many older people. That’s why I think his goal isn’t just to extend his own life.
