This is the hinge of the whole system, and it is a reclassification of the same kind transhumanism would make a century later — but reached from Orthodox Christianity rather than from engineering. Fyodorov held that death results from human immaturity, a lack of independence and self-reliance and an incapacity for mutual support, which makes mortality a symptom of social disorganisation rather than a fixed feature of the world. From that follows the claim that resigning yourself to death is not piety but a false Christianity, a refusal of the task the resurrection promise actually imposes. It is the most demanding version of the argument that death is unacceptable, because it does not merely propose to stop future deaths but holds the living responsible for every one that has already happened.
