While watching "Into the night: Alejandro Jodorowsky and Daniel Pinchbeck", I had a thought.  He spoke of one of his experiences with Ayahuasca, in which he spoke to extra-terrestrials from the Sirius star system.  They told him that they gave up on technology, and that is what we may go through in our future.  They had no interest in living longer lives as well.  This made me think of our society. Instead of living longer, my goal is to live better while I am alive, so the memories of myself can be passed down to future generations.
