Immortality is real. It exists today, it has existed always. Immortality is that a child has a whole life after their parent.

But, you say, that isn't always what immortality means. When someone desires immortality, they desire it for the individual. Unfortunately for them, immortality is not *meant* for the individual. The individual is meant to attempt, experience, wear down, and iterate.

Ironically, the gift of death is the reason anyone is able to fathom immortality to desire it in the first place.

Fundamentally, the individual cannot be immortal. A system can be made to be self healing to last forever, but you must still consider what such a hypothetical even means. What would happen to your brain after centuries? It's not made to have an infinite context, in fact it intentionally prunes itself of information as it ages within our own lifespans.

You will find countless other truths interrupting the fantasy of individual immortality if you keep digging at it.
