    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?

    If the saying ‘assholes live forever’ is true, then I would like to think that I’m just an asshole enough that I’m buying years while occasionally being nice and doing good things for people without humble bragging about it.

    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”.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I have no intention of trying to be immortal, just try to live a long time through healthy eating and exercise
