We Were Taught to Call Death a Blessing
CGP Grey
CGP Grey narrates an animated adaptation of Nick Bostrom's Fable of the Dragon-Tyrant. The story uses a dragon that demands a daily toll of lives as a metaphor for aging and society's acceptance of death.
HN commenters repeatedly recommend it in longevity and aging threads as a concise, fun case for fighting aging.
