oof imagine being immortal, but you keep on aging and getting diseases and stuff but they just can’t kill you
I was more excited about life at 8 than
atafter 20, so for me it’s def reversed.Tho I do need to know if an elixir causes immortality, I do not want to drink it by accident.
If you ever have kids and probably just as you age it only gets worse. I’m like, this little kid is 5 already? And it hits hard.
My best friend just had a kid. I imagine I’m gonna wake up tomorrow and he’s gonna be graduating high school. When did time start passing so fucking fast?
Ancient Chinese recipe. Guarantees you won’t age.
Ah Mercury. So Shiney and so deadly.
Imagine still being alive to witness the slow, agonizing death of the universe, when all matter and energy are evenly spread across an incomprehensible vastness, and nothing will or can ever happen again. The next billion years would be fairly interesting until the sun expands and swallows the Earth…or, at least, dries up its oceans. Hopefully, you’ve found a way out and onto another planet for another billion or so years. But after about 170 quattuorvigintillion years of cold, dark, nothingness, you’ll probably get pretty bored of it all.
I don’t think very many people, if any, want to be unable to die forever. Most people just want more time.
Making a lot of assumptions here that our models are accurate enough to correctly predict the end of the universe - whether it’s a big crunch, big rip, heat death, some clumsy git dropping the marble so it shatters, or something else entirely. I would take eternal life+youth so I could find out.
Once I know everything, then I might get bored.
So far, I think the general consensus is heat death. Being an optimist, my hope is for the big crunch. If that one’s true, what’d be infinitely hilarious is if it always repeats in exactly the same way.
If that’s the case, then I guess all of us do truly live forever. We just microdose the same exact snippet of eternity.
So much of what exists is spheres and circles. Who’s to say time doesn’t also run in a circle?
Like the song goes,
Consensus is not a fact-based exercise
;D
I was promised eternal life, not consciousness. That’s cryosleep conditions right there.
