Would You Want To Be Immortal?
I'll be 60 in 2045 - should I like to be 60 forever? How would you feel about be frozen in time and existing as a machine?
Personally, I believe we are already living in a simulation that we setup as a utopia from a different universe, existence or whatever because we ruined our previous habitat. Very similar to what we are doing to Earth right now with plastics, radiation and arguably fossil fuel emissions. Might we reach a point where we are forced to continue our consciousness in a machine after destroying our habitat here?
I'm not sure I would want to live in a matrix because I would know none of it is real. Knowing that every tangible sensation was not real would likely ruin the experience.
Being immortal by myself? No thank you. Around friends? Yes please! I would love to live long enough to see long distance space travel become a regular thing. Also what the future holds for mankind is exciting!
who wants to live forever...
ReplyDeleteI would love to be immortal, I want to see what the future has in store for us.
ReplyDeleteTake the red pill and enter the matrix.

Nice post Eric. Really gets me thinking.
nice post, often thought about this. do you think we would unlock our brains potential if we lived long enough?
ReplyDeletethe world would be a much different place
ReplyDeleteHmm, I would be 52 in 2045; probably not the age I'd want to remain at if I were to be immortal.
ReplyDeleteMaybe. Live forever as an old man? hmm.

ReplyDeleteWell, the only way i would want to live forever is if I was bionic....Robot legs,lungs, heart and brain....
ReplyDeleteLife is such a pain at times. I don't want to live forever.
ReplyDeleteFrankly no, although I am interested in the science.
ReplyDeletehmm i dont know, i guess we would somehow get lost timewise..
ReplyDeleteTranshumanism FTW. Without a doubt.
