People who are rock stars love being rock stars and usually do it for as long as possible. Don't believe me?




Absolutely, I don't doubt that. What I've tried to explain was that life in this form (which ends for everyone in about max. 120 years) is very fun, especially as a rockstar or anything else that is fun. But imagine, what if being a rockstar wouldn't be anything exciting anymore for you, because you could get it anytime? It would surely be fun for the first time or some more times, because it's a new feeling and you are what you ever wanted to be etc. But after being a rockstar twice and a pornstar five times, you'll most probably realise that there is nothing exciting about it anymore, because you already know it and it would be no problem to get it once more. That's my theory (can't prove it since nobody lives that long and has such powers )

If I don't have to choose an answer I'd simply say: later.

Whenever "later" is. There are things I don't want to know. Knowing that it will happen one day is sufficient.

I'd like to live as long as possible, with the option of "turning myself off" for a period of time, with some kind of escape from dangerous or stressful situations-- so you wouldn't be living forever stuck in a box-- and with the option of killing myself-- with some kind of confirmation interval a few years apart, so I would be certain.

I like the idea of living forever, with a "psychic hibernation trance" ability-- so when the suffering of life became too much, I could have a means of "peaceful sleep" to get away from the intensity of prolonged life-- but without being gone forever --like dying for a short time, then coming back.




Uuh, you're prepared soooo well!

Sure, that you are not already participating in an investigation program on 'how prolonging life'?

Life forever? no.
I don't think that would be very great.
You would see lots of disasters, wars, etc... Maybe you can't handle that.
I think suicide would be a daily happening indeed.. and that's not good either, i think.
Many people are curious about everything that happens in life, but why not being curious in what happens after life, in dead. Nobody knows, and the only way to know, is to die, i think.
But, a long life would be good. I hope i live long, but not forever.

Yes, indeed, Cemper.
I also think it would be very boring, but maybe there are new things to do in those years.

i think it must be terrible to live forever.
imagine you would live and live and live... and it would never end...horrible.
i think, when you lived 200 years it would be boring.
thats also why i don´t like the idea of life after death in heaven, then i would prefer to be born again in another human, or maybe animal or even alien and forget that i lived and died already.

ich denke, es wäre schrecklich ewig zu leben.
stellt euch mal vor ihr würdet leben und leben und leben...und es würde niemals enden...SCHRECKLICH. ich denke, spätestens nach 200 jahren wäre einem schrecklich langweilig und man würde sich wünschen, das leben würde enden, was es natürlich nicht täte, man ist ja schließlich unsterblich.
deshalb gefällt mir auch die vorstellung vom ewigen leben nach dem tod nicht, dann würde ich es doch ehr vorziehen in einem anderen menschen, einem tier oder sogar einem außerirdischen wiedergeboren zu werden und zu vergessen, dass ich schon einmal gelebt habe und gestorben bin.


Jeder Mensch hat ein Paradies auf Erden, er muss es nur finden.

Why would living so long possibly be boring? It would just mean that different kinds of things would be of more importance to you than normally would have been to a mortal. For example having a bit of 'luck' (chance), would you still care about it when you would live longer than the time that it will eventually mathematically MUST have happened once? Would you even still care about materialistic things? I doubt it. Would love be important? Depends..? Those are the kind of questions that I find interesting and being immortal would make you find out.

I think ideas will become more important than living a certain life, for example becomming a rockstar or president, but that would be in the long run, there are plenty of things to do in the first couple of millenia and since times change, there's a good chance you will never get bored. Actually aren't we still limited by past, present and future in what we would like to have been or be in a certain time? Being immortal doesn't mean you can live twice in 1998 and do anything you like within that time. Maybe after 1998 there will never be a world so full of nature as it is now, just to give a little example of what I mean. On the other hand positive changes could or since the time span is forever, would happen too.

Cheers

Lasst mich durch ein unsterbliches Werk hindurch ewig leben. Einmal ein solches Werk vollendet, und ich trete gerne sofort ab. Also nie..
lol

Let me live eternal through an immortal opus. Once I finish such an opus I would surrender immediately. So never...

What do I mean? A piece of music, a great novel, a philosophical oevre, a scientifical theory or just one simple word everybody remembers....
