Why don't people protest for the pursuit of biological immortality, free cryonics, and the acceleration of medical research, even though it would lead to people no longer dying?

Sorry, I thought it was a joke. -

I asked ChatGPT how such rallies could be organized. How much money is approximately needed to organize concerts and rallies to gather 100,000 people at rallies in the US? Famous music bands are required since the rally is not popular. Organizing concerts and rallies to attract 100,000 people in the US is a complex and costly endeavor, especially if the rally topic is not popular. Here's an approximate breakdown of expenses: 1. Venue Rental For 100,000 people, large stadiums or parks are required. Stadium rental cost: $500,000–$1,000,000. Park or open space rental (including permits and cleanup): $100,000–$500,000. 2. Famous Music Bands Headliners for concerts, such as popular rock or pop bands, demand significant fees. Performance fees per event: Superstars (e.g., BTS, Beyoncé): $1,000,000–$5,000,000. Popular bands (e.g., Imagine Dragons): $500,000–$1,000,000. Less famous artists: $50,000–$200,000. To attract a large audience, it’s recommended to invite several groups, increasing the total cost. 3. Technical Support Stage, sound, lighting, screens, equipment: $500,000–$1,500,000. Installation and dismantling: $100,000–$300,000. 4. Permits and Security Licenses and permits from authorities: $50,000–$200,000. Security, police, medical staff: $100,000–$500,000. 5. Advertising and Promotion To attract 100,000 people, wide-reaching advertising is essential: Social media: $50,000–$200,000. Traditional media (TV, radio, billboards): $100,000–$500,000. Collaboration with influencers could cost an additional $50,000–$300,000. 6. Logistics Transport, parking, and cleanup: $100,000–$300,000. Food and drinks (if provided): $500,000–$1,000,000. 7. Contingency Costs Always allocate an additional 10–20% of the budget for unforeseen expenses. Total Estimate: The total cost for such an event could range from $3,000,000 to $10,000,000 or more, depending on the scale, the number of invited stars, the level of advertising, and other factors. If the rally topic is truly unpopular, the following will be necessary: Invest heavily in top performers to draw the audience. Strengthen marketing efforts to clearly communicate the event’s purpose. For a more precise estimate, factors like the location (e.g., costs in New York are sig- nificantly higher than in smaller cities) and the potential involvement of sponsors or partners, who could reduce expenses, need to be taken into account. -

>Welcome to the forum. Thank you) > I’m looking forward to dying. It's clear that no one wants to die. It’s just harsh that the topic of biological immortality is being largely ignored. What do you think—should we organize rallies in the U.S. and demand answers from the government about why nothing is being done? Many people believe that governments should be the ones to take the initiative first. We could gather a rally of 100,000 people in the U.S. and demand answers from the government. Organize a concert with famous performers—such an event would attract a large audience. And there, we could say the following: Free cryonics: Scientists say this could save everyone’s life, prevent illness and aging. No one knows of any reason why it wouldn’t work. In fact, it seems highly likely to work because medicine keeps improving. We need to preserve deceased individuals in liquid nitrogen so they can potentially be revived when medicine advances enough to make revival, healing, and rejuvenation possible. Accelerating medical development: Currently, only 0.3% of GDP is spent on medical research. In comparison, 18% of GDP is spent on healthcare. Permission for OrganEx to revive conscious pigs: For three years, they have been denied permission to conduct such experiments. If successful, this could enable reviving people several hours after death and might eventually allow revival after cryonics. Currently, pigs are fully revived under anesthesia several hours after death but are euthanized without being brought to consciousness because the necessary permissions haven’t been granted. Demanding answers: Why is the government acting passively and allowing people to keep dying? Churches, demographers, and economists don’t oppose what’s outlined here. Do you have an objective reason to dismiss this, or just excuses? Such a massive rally would gain media attention, forcing the government to respond. When thousands of scientists write petitions, no one answers because the issue isn’t considered "popular enough" to warrant a reply. -
Sometimes people are convinced that nothing can be changed and that science is useless. They believe that the idea of science finding solutions is akin to religion or esotericism. In the book Harry Potter, Immortality, and the Conspiracy of Psychiatrists, there is an example where people persuade psychiatrists to share such opinions (without revealing their profession or the purpose of their statements) with those who disagree with them. I’d like to hear your thoughts on the reasons behind such a situation. Perhaps someone knows an explanation as to why there are still no rallies for immortality?
