People fear our ideas. This happens in stages:
- Fear of death. That prevents them from even considering immortality, because it makes them think about death.
- Fear of boredom. Once they can fathom the idea of living forever, they are scared by its immense magnitude. They are afraid of eternity.
- Fear of change. Once they realise that to leave forever is to change forever, they are scared of that change. Transhuman development is fearful, they can't easily accept the Singularity/posthumanity consequences.
