Thread: Eternal Life, Would You?

But if you could kill yourself at any time what's the problem. If you foresee humanity shitting the bed kill yourself. If you can't bear to watch your loved ones die kill yourself with them. Why wouldn't anyone want the option of living forever.

Why would you?

Having an infinite amount of something makes that thing worthless. Having a limit gives your life value. Besides, I'd rather have a real human experience with an expiration date than something so far removed from humanity as to be alien.

I see no attraction to living forever, except for satisfying the curiosity of what happens after I'm dead, but when I'm dead I won't be curious anymore so I don't really care about that.

Some advice for the next time you feel like calling people with different wishes to you "liars" or "dumb": don't.

lol thats a pretty skewed way of looking at things man.

Also, I don't consider eternal life having the option of killing yourself. Doesn't really seem that eternal...

But of course humanity will destroy itself. Its just a matter of time. It's no reason to kill myself though.
I mean, we're always looking for new power sources, and everytime we find a new one, it will just mean more powerful weapons.
It really is just a matter of time.

Also for the loved ones kill them/yourself with them, lol I assume you're kidding.


And yes, gwahir brings another valid point. If you live forever, you won't value anything.
