Notice how they don't talk about the world without the dragon. The next sentence could be, "and then the economic collapse caused by the project and the death of the dragon, coupled with an influx of old people, caused the nation to descend into utter chaos for the next century, and killing far more people in that time than the dragon ever would have." Actions have consequences. Killing the dragon is good. What is the cost?

David Tucker Camps are more about indoctrination and forced labor, extremely few are purposefully killed, but I get your point and agree with it; we need to prepare for the consequences of immortality and it’s not wise to do it if we can’t suffer the consequences. The point of the video though is that death shouldn’t be viewed as part of the “natural process” of life, it should be abolished and the work around for things like over-population should be worked out. I personally think the video is fine in ignoring this, but that’s up for debate.

...but your ability to produce "spare" population does not grow exponentially as resources (free land on the map, at least) are finite, so build the missile in time or everything would collapse. On the other hand, super-expensive endgame device also means a risk to not provide enough food for the dragon and wake it up. Now this really sounds like a game.

A real scientist should be able to accurately predict approximately how long a project should take. Most of the times we get to hear about their predictions, however, it is often exaggerated or misunderstood by journalists, public speakers and others. This is shown accurately in the video, as the scientists said they might be able to do it in 12 years with proper funding (then everyone began funding it and supporting it), while the king said they'd do it in 10 years.

The only thing that I'm miffed you left out of this story, likely for brevity, was this: "Sometimes the dragon would devour these unfortunate souls upon arrival; sometimes again it would lock them up in the mountain where they would wither away for months or years before eventually being consumed." The dragon doesn't just kill us. It tortures us.

The dragon had been attacked before. It had won every fight. Why would it be scared now? Look at it this way. If a kitten attacks you, you won't consider it a threat. If a hundred kittens attack, you might be annoyed, but still not threatened. If after dozens of years, these kittens now start throwing little pebbles at empty patches of dirt, would you be scared? No. Of course not. You might think that they're attacking, but just like the last times, you'll win the fight.

ociNNico to be fair it’s a tactical necessity. If the dragon thinks everything is still functioning the way it has been, then it has no reason to move. Even when the missile comes and he sees it, experience has taught him he’s invincible, and thus he still has no reason to move, if anything he has more reason to crush their hope by tanking the missile with his assumed invincibility. However, if he doesn’t get his food the same way he has, there’s a chance he will become enraged and leave the mountain and head for the town. Not only would that mean the missile wouldn’t hit, since the target moved, but also now there’s an angry dragon coming towards them .

I know this is a big analogy for stopping natural aging, but the real takeaway here is how clever the dragon is. Why eat a kingdom full of people when you can instead spend centuries atop a mountain eating a smaller number of people consistently? Somebody needs to rewrite this from the dragon's perspective as a pro-renewable resources story.

The thing that I like the most about this story is the fact that the center point of it is not the dragon, but the human capacity of always overcoming seemingly impossible challenges. And that makes the story very appealing and "malleable". The dragon is a metaphor for death by old age, this much seems obvious going through the story, but with slight tweaks, the same concept could work very easily on other big problems like cancer or climate change, and I think that this thing speaks volumes about how beautifully this concept is exposed.

​@@natesmodelsdoodles5403 OP of this thread thinks cancer can somehow be avoided as though its not part of aging, but 2/3 of all cancer is caused by time over which chemical accidents can take place to activate the mechanisms for cell-division and telomere-lengthening. Cancer is as much aging as parkinson's and arthritis and cardiovascular disease. Cancer is also the only aging disease called cancer regardless of where it happens in the body. Meanwhile if you get Parkinson's for losing certain braincells over time then we don't call it Parkinson's when it happens in your pace-maker cells in your heart, we call it "heart disease". And then when it happens in your muscles we call it "age-related muscle-atrophy" or something like that. "Aging" is the dumbest worst word in modern language, because that word causes more confusion and apathy than anything.

@@MiloMurphysLaw I don't think we could ever truly kill death even if we banish the evils of disease of the body and mind, and eliminate aging, people will still get into accidents and unfortunately die or people will become bored of life and request to have their body begin to age once more. But what 'killing the dragon' will do is give you the power to decide when you want to pass on from this world to the next.
