Heh, well that's the problem with the argument, then.

IF I felt an infinite, immediate gain by being able to live forever, then maybe I should put all my efforts towards the objective in the OP. But I doubt people actually feel that way. Whether I die in 100 years or 400 years, that doesn't make much difference in how I feel today.

That's fair, but it's highly subjective let's agree. For some it may make a big difference. Especially when comparing 100 years to infinity. Ever heard of all those idiots who fall for religions simply because they promise an (unreal) eternal existence?
