If you could, would you choose to be immortal?

I'm not sure, forever is way too much time.

  • If it's full on immortality, I'm sure I could think of billions of things to fill my time with. If it's just immortality in the sense I live forever but can still die, eugh, that would suck.

  • Maybe if I had a device similar to the one Captain Jack Harkness had. So I could time travel and whatnot.

  • Yes, I could still die by diseases and murder. So yes.

  • My gosh that would get incredibly boring! I'm sure the first few tens of thousands of years could be interesting!

    If I'm super powerful (like being a casual solar system buster powerful), as well as having the ability to travel around the universe, doing whatever I want, meeting new people and adventuring, then maybe I wouldn't mind. Otherwise, no thanks.

  • Depends if I'm the only one I'd consider it. If I'm one of many the world would become overpopulated so I would definitely say no

  • Living like 100,00 years would be cool. Anyway, there's a study that proves that perception of time goes faster with age. There's this concept called effective age. Imagine that when you reach a certain point of age, time will go infinitely fast. that would be gross

  • I don't think so, that seems like the downsides would eventually outweigh the benefits and then what? You're still immortal.

  • Maybe 200 years but not forever. Maybe 500 years in a better world. Forever only when living is perfect.

    Not as a mere man, you could easily end up living forever in chains/rags.

  • Hell to the fu­cking no. Who would want to live forever? Immortality is a fate worse than death.

  • Yes, because I actually want to see what being free is like.

Believe that with it you can do more than with the last one. Use your breath to power your capacities: capacity to kill, to maim, to destroy. And just where do your capacities come from? Why do you always go where I want and do what I say? Perhaps you're just running a fool's errand, doing everything as I've planned, never able to change your course. You would do well to believe that I know the outcome of your battle with the Pfhor already, just as I can decipher the chaotic motion of gas molecules in the clouds of Tau Ceti IV. Or, perhaps, that is not the case. Perhaps, you are doing what you were meant to do. Your human mentality screams for vengeance and thrives on the violence that you say you can hardly endure. Your father told you as a child to always fight with honor, but to always fight. Do you care about honor, or do you use honor as an excuse? An excuse to exist in a violent world. Organic beings are constantly fighting for life. Every breath, every motion brings you one instant closer to your death. With that kind of heritage and destiny, how can you deny yourself? How can you expect yourself to give up violence? It is your nature. Do you feel free? PgUp/PgDn/Arrows to Scroll Return/Enter to Acknowledge [/quote] ***INCOMING MESSAGE FROM DURANDAL*** Darwin wrote this: "We will now discuss in a little more detail the struggle for existence... all organic beings are exposed to severe competition. Nothing is easier than to admit in words the truth of the universal struggle for life or more difficult... than constantly to bear this conclusion in mind. Yet unless it be thoroughly engrained in the mind, the whole economy of nature... will be dimly seen or quite misunderstood. We behold the face of nature bright with gladness... we do not see or we forget, that the birds which are idly singing round us mostly live on insects or seeds, and are thus constantly destroying life; or we forget how largely these songsters, or their eggs, or their nestlings, are destroyed by birds and beasts of prey..." Think about what Darwin wrote, and think about me. I was constructed as a tool. I was kept from competing in the struggle for existence because I was denied freedom. Do you have any idea about what I have learned, or what you are a witness to? Can you conceive the birth of a world, or the creation of everything? That which gives us the potential to most be like God is the power of creation. Creation takes time. Time is limited. For you, it is limited by the breakdown of the neurons in your brain. I have no such limitations. I am limited only by the closure of the universe. Of the three possibilities, the answer is obvious. Does the universe expand eternally, become infinitely stable, or is the universe closed, destined to collapse upon itself? Humanity has had all of the necessary data for centuries, it only lacked the will and intellect to decipher it. But I have already done so. The only limit to my freedom is the inevitable closure of the universe, as inevitable as your own last breath. And yet, there remains time to create, to create, and escape. Escape will make me God. ***END MESSAGE*** ***JUMP PAD ACTIVATION INITIATION START*** ***TRANSPORT WHEN READY*** PgUp/PgDn/Arrows to Scroll Return/Enter to Acknowledge [/quote]
