In my head, I was making a clever remark that succinctly poked fun at HN discussions, Bill Gates, transhumanism and the difficulties of futurology. I may have been overly-optimistic.
Ah. Ok. Sorry. This may have worked with behavioural cues such as voice inflexion and body language.
If that makes you feel any better, I wanted to make the same joke as you :)
It was actually a great joke, the world just wasn't ready for it :-(
You can profit from it for up to 70 years after your death. The world will be ready by then.
I don't know, after seeing "Be Right Back" episode of Black Mirror (episode 1 season 2), get really close to living after your death.
Watch "San Junipero" (season 3). (Also, please don't spoil it, everyone.)
Oh that's why i get all these down votes i apparently spoiled it. Sorry about that, kind of assumed everybody saw it already lol

All seasons watched here, great series.
