CGP Grey 将哲学家 Nick Bostrom 的经典寓言《巨龙暴君的故事》（The Fable of the Dragon-Tyrant）改编为精炼动画，以一头每天吞噬无数生灵的恶龙作隐喻，深刻反思了人类衰老以及社会对死亡的习以为常与合理化。
为什么 HN 推它
HN 每次探讨抗衰老、寿命延长与生命科技时必推的寓言动画，短小精悍却直击本质，论据有力又极具观赏性。
「CGP Grey 的这支视频是我见过关于这个主题最精炼、最有观赏趣味的内容。」HN 网友原话：CGP gray's videos on YouTube are maybe the most concise and fun to watch materials I've seen on the subject.
