Yeah if you can call sleeping for 50K years and waking for for a few decades living. And what do they do when they wake up, genocide. No more love, no more laughing, no more walkign outsid ein the rain with bare feet. No sex, no more tacos.
All they do is exist, if that is what immortality is, then you can have it. I'd rather be dead.
THIS HURTS YOU

So he can select us out from the other indoctrinated husks and murder us no doubt!

Screw the Reapers. Join me instead. I bake awesome cookies. They are the pinnacle of culinary perfection. Your taste buds couldn't even begin to understand their level of deliciousness.
It just wouldn't compare to what is on the reaper menu. Have you ever tasted a Reaper Murdershake™. It's made of people, and it's delicious! Did you really think those stasis pods/people grinders only had one purpose?

Allowing ourselves to become a Reaper is not ensuring our immortality, it is ensuring out extinction.
It is only the extinction of modern man. His lineage will live on.

No - think of brain-dead patients artificially kept alive to see why unqualified "eternal life" is not what you want.Think of it. What is the purpose of our civilization? What is the purpose of technological and social progress? Is it to make our lives eternal?
That implies that it's possible to know everything about the universe, which I think is unlikely. Effective one would arbitrarily decide that a given level of understanding of the universe is "all there is to know" and stop looking any further - remember when heliocentrism was all there was to know about the universe?To know all there is to know about the universe?
That too vague and new age to meaningfully discuss.To reach perfect harmony in our existence?
Hang on, what? Please provide some statistics to back that up; otherwise I'll go with common sense and assume that people are not desperate for an alien invasion.Don't we, deep inside, wish to not be alone?
Well, there Reapers would be the answer if those above assumptions were true AND one completely ignored cost/benefit considerations.The Reapers are the answer, they are giving us a shortcut to achieving every civilization's ultimate goals.

Wow...I think this is the biggest d*ck comment I've seen today. Well done.
What I mean is, how do you figure that becoming a Reaper is the "lineage of modern man?"
But I guess I'm too stupid to understand so of course you needn't condescend to explain your utterly enigmatic statement.
