Excellent post to make many think and think... This is great soul food that could last for hundreds of years really! Hey, maybe it could even fill most of that loooong time living?
Anyhow, I love the choices of quotes you exposed us to and the clarity of your writing as well. What t do with the time I am given, or have chosen to be here for, is an existential question on top of many that is definitely worth delving into.
Thanks for the quality and opportunity to think again about such a matter, whether there's only a few minutes left or lifetimes to go through, it is always worth its while. Namaste :)
I must descent from the consensus on this topic and say that eternal life would be appalling.
A limitless supply of anything devalues it and would only make things unbearable given enough time. Take a moment to think of what has lost it's luster to you in the time that you have lived, now imagine all of the other things that will throughout the rest of you limited life, now if you live to a hundred that by our standards is considered a long time. stretch this to 1000 years and I can't conceive of someone who would not beg for death at this point. Taking this a step further 1000 years would only scratch the surface of "eternity".
I consider death comforting in a way knowing that ultimately there is no seriousness, or purpose to the universe.
I do however feel that this quest is an immutable desire that will not be separated from the human psyche, nor do I suggest that it should be. I personally don't think there is anything that "should" happen.
Those who seeks solution of aging which also seek to avoid mortality are just trying to prove something with the knowledge that they have but would not wanted a life of immortality. Yes, keeping alive is great in fact nobody would wanted to die soon. But if you're going stay alive for centuries while all your friends and families have all rested in peace, what is the meaning of life then? This is what living is all about, staying alive and die on the right time.
It's an interesting thought, but society would change a lot. Any person trying to live longer today via good health would have all that energy directed towards not being killed for example. Over population would be a concern, one/two child policies worldwide punishable by incineration, dictators and tyrants would live forever. Not trying to be a downer at all, but there's always a cost of some kind. To be honest though, I would expect advances into immortality to be so expensive only a select few could ever afford it, and I doubt they would want it becoming any more affordable. I think I took a rather grim approach to that, sorry, my thoughts anyway hah.
Great post! However imho the spiritual realm is real and death is necessary. Life extension up to a thousand years would only make sense if we could experience on a galactic if not universal level, but we're meant to cross over to a non material existence. This place is only here for the experience of the material and to learn from. In most aspects this place is not even real, especially our ego.
Great post though and I do look forward to see what science and technology has in store.

Anyway that's my 2 cents.
do not think begging for death would be necessary, maybe a beautiful goodbye/euthanasia ceremony?
Great Post

your reality sounds awful.
Haha, I probably watch too many end of world movies or something. XD
maybe add some romcoms. lolz
Every vampire I've ever known from movies and shows seems to despise immortality. Just sayin. :D
Indefinite? Jeez, I would probably kill myself :p
Kidding aside, this is an excellent post! Great work.
The merging of man and machine is part of the luciferian agenda to trap your soul in the mortal world and keep you a slave.
ooooh... and "lk666" just came and posted after you... "they" are onto you... :-p

I love how you showed up and commented just after the guy talking about the luciferian agenda... lol :-D
I had to go back and read the comment and that is very funny indeed LOL
30, 70, 150 1000- timing for a cross over seems unimportant. have fun in this expression, however the time
Well said, life is an incredible gift no matter the time...but a long journey does sound like more fun.
