I think this will come true and look forward to the day when you can simulate banging Jessica Alba, winning the Super Bowl, etc

Immortality is great because you live forever; however, you live forever. FOREVER! You have to see and live through it all.

Lets say you are immortal and no one else. Eventually after a few of your loved ones are gone, it wouldnt matter anymore. You would be conditioned to accept it and not even think about it anymore.

I believe by the time we are immortal it will be just like transcendence. Our bodies will be useless. We will have achieved everything and wont need them anymore. As long as we have the sun, we will have enough electricity to power the cloud. We will have figured out how to harness all energy.

I think the human mind would go berserk personally. 1 lifetime seems just about right to me.

No. Watch groundhogs day. You’d eventually figure out that hedonism is no end in itself. Self improvement, helping others, accomplishing difficult tasks and developing meaningful relationships are the things that give life meaning.

Anyone read Tuck Everlasting? Pretty good read. It deals with the ups and downs of immortality.

Immortality is impossible unless humanity reaches the levels of evolution possible to leave earth.

The sun will expand to a red giant and destroy the solar system. It’s inevitable. It may be a few billion years but it will happen.

Depends on who has immortality along with you.

It would be tough watching your loved ones - especially kids - die over and over again.

The alternative - going through life alone - would be equally depressing.

On the other hand, it would be hard to put up with a woman’s shite for all of eternity if she were immortal as well.

It would be boring as hell to live for more than MAYBE a couple hundred years. After a while, it's the same shite over and over, even if it comes in new space age packaging.

I think there's a general flowchart to most people's lives. Each step is new and interesting because it basically just happens once - Be a kid, grow up, girlfriends, college, job, family, grandkids, retirement, yadda yadda. It varies with person to person, but if you keep repeating it, or parts of it, it's going to lose its appeal.

Lets assume we could also control our aging process and all remain physically 28 years old.

1) Work: It would kinda suck to know I had 800 more years to retirement. You better have a job you would like. Investing in land would be key. Even if you had a good trade it would most likely not exist in another 100 years.

2) Marriage: I would think people would get married much much later in life. Could you imagine having your 721st anniversary? That would suck, or just the premise of do death do us part be more like a 50 year contract.

3) Religion: Would no longer exist after about 300 years of the world be immortal.

4) Over population: This would most likely be the biggest threat along with food water supply, global warming.

If you maintain your youth, it would be awesome. At some point, you’ll probably get bored, though.

Or at least until someone kills the electricity.


I just want to be hooked up to the machine long enough to go to Mars and bang that 3 tittied chick and the midget.
