Who wants to live forever?

Living forever 22 members have voted

  1. 1. Would living longer (1,000 years+) make us saints or a-holes?

    • In time I would release myself from the transience of being and attachment to all worldly things, making being alive a bit pointless
      11
    • Sooner or later I'd have tried everything BUT genocide
      9
    • My goldfish attention span means that the experience would have no greater effect than standing in a bus queue for fifteen minutes
      7
    • If old people find young people annoying, and the greater the difference the greater the annoyance, then living to 1,000 would be characterised by homicidal wars

tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.

Does morality exist in hell?

Is your face moral?

Who cares about living forever?!?! We have the afterlife in heaven after that!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

...right?

You guys should read some books by Peter F Hamilton.

 

One of the best Sci Fi authors I have come across. His stuff is damn good.

I think if my lifespan was 1000+ years, and there was no interstellar space-travel, I'd die of boredom long before.

 

200-250 years would be nice, both for more time to "have some fun" and for the possible increased tech/culture innovation/stability, but after that I think you'd end up with diminishing returns.

 

But if there was interstellar space-travel, and one could own your own private spaceship to run around the galaxy in, I might change my mind. :lol:

Still gaming with my 9900k/2080ti/32 ram. One day I suppose a game may inspire me to finally upgrade. Maybe. 

Even then, how many lifeless rocks can you see before you get bored?

"Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"

Seriously, visit Italy, France, Germany In 100 years it'll be different and the memory of your last trip will be vague enough it might as well be new.

 

Heck, even a movie doesn't change, but that doesn't mean we never watch it twice. Especially much later when the memory is no longer as clear. Or to catch something we missed before.

If I could live that lifespan in a healthy body I would take it in a second. Hell, throw me back into a 25 year old body and Ill take immortality. But if the body would continue to age, Im out.

Well, techincally, living forever implies you won't age, because as we all know extreme aging leads to huge mental and physical problems (that usually lead to death). Not to mention I'm pretty sure you'd be decomposing after 1000+ years...

 

Not a pretty sight.

Agreed. But that's why I'd need space-travel ... sitting around planet-side waiting for civilizations to rise/fall/change dramatically isn't my idea of fun. Plus with the right spaceship tech, it might lessen the effects of 900+ years of sun skin damage and gravity sag. :lol:

If I could live for ever, I would probably try to hot wire a GPS to a Porsche to have it drive itself.

One billion b-balls dribbling simultaneously throughout the galaxy. One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the galaxy. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips. I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my viens. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk, and free throw. I am there.

What the crap?

Have a Porsche drive itself using a GPS?

Yeah, we get that but why would you do that of all things? Do something cool.

 

Or perfect your signature making.

Yeah, like you could do it.

And I don't need to. I did perfect it, and you have seen my sig that I made(Bleach sig)? Now if you don't drop it.... :rolleyes:

I'd like to see you do something with your main tutorial lost, not having touched the program for months, and... keep up with your social life.

Let's keep signature discussions out of this thread, shall we?

 

It occurs to me the different professions one could try out for extended periods of time would be where the real fun lies. You could try and forge a career in music; write novels; stewardess; baker; webcomics; whatever. I'd love to try Architecture, for example, but I have such a dirth of talent in areas such as visual creativity and drawing it would take me years and years.

...Uwe Boll could learn to make movies...

 

But yeah, you got a point. I always wanted to learn how to cook. Living for a 1000 years, I might get around to it eventually :rolleyes:

Uwe Boll doesn't need to perfect his movies, they're already perfect.

If I could live forever I would hot wire a Porsche and use it to stalk Tale who goes to all the cool places and make a coat out of Nick i am's skin and teach Uwe Boll how to make movies.

If I could live for more than 1000 years I'd probably Hell Kitty's avatar grosses me out.

The red bits are blood from a serial killer he just chopped up.

Did your article mention anything about life quality in general? Would we spend 500 years with the physique of 30-40 year olds or would it be like 920 years with the bodies of 80 year olds?

or would you actually end up with the body of a 920 year old?
