Fuck forever, just let my upcoming prostate biopsy be negative. I’m retiring and I have shit to do that doesn’t involve sitting in front of the TV wearing a diaper.
good luck, friend. this internet stranger will be keeping you in mind. nobody deserves some of the shit life dishes out, i sincerely hope this goes well for you.
I have “kidnapped” a small child and am brainwashing them to think like me.
they will be me, essentially.
one day they will do the same, and “I” will live on for eternity.
I don’t even think I wanna wake up tomorrow.
Why would anyone want this?
I won’t
I’ll try to eat healthy and exercise, but besides that I’m not planning on doing anything.
Just fly a rocket into a stable orbit near a black hole and wait until the time dilation causes 1000s of years to pass on earth, then go back and hope someone has figured it out.
If eternity is all time, and all the time I have is 80 or so years (hopefully), then that is eternity, for me. I’ll already live “forever”.
I have no intention of trying to be immortal, just try to live a long time through healthy eating and exercise
I honestly can’t think of anything less appealing than dealing with other people forever.
You only die when the last person forgets your name. So I’m going to be remembered forever, all books in history should have a dedicated page about me.
Oh no.
Enjoy!
Return question: If you do have a plan to live forever, do you have a plan B how to end it, when (not if) it becomes unbearable?
Or when (not if) you’ve lost the last shard of your sanity?i value life more the longer i exist, both mine and others, not less.
I only plan for things that are possible so no plan to live forever.
Having said that, scientists are working on a cure for aging. Even if they sort that out before I die, the treatments will be too expensive for me.
If you are under 40 and in age appropriate health, you have reasonable chance to benefit from anti-aging therapies. Start prepare 😉
Most probably they will be expensive af at the beginning. And similar to microwave ovens or mobile phones, they will become very affordable with time (economies of scale, experience curve, competition, expiration of patents). Probably even many countries will subsides them because they will keep people healthy longer (so they could work out be generally productive, rather then costing a lot of money on treatment of chronic diseases).
The sheer anger and hatred of wanting to see certain, unnamed people(s) die before I do. Let the rage keep me going in order to hopefully outlive some people. Thankfully a lot of those people are either currently either middle aged to elderly or just older than me.
But that’s if nuclear war doesn’t happen because I’m in an area that will hopefully be wiped off the map and I’ll hopefully just be dust.
Look at the world around you, do you really want to live forever? The more time passes the more death seams like retirement from life.
The name on my Park Run card is “Do Not Resuscitate”
