I try to get enjoyment of my life while at the same time try to assure that I'll have enjoyment in my future, yet I try to never overwork myself more than necessary. So, in essence, my goal in life is to maximize my enjoyment across all my life with the least possible effort. It would be much easier if I ever won the lottery
I don't care about changing the world or anything like that, I'd love to be powerful and never have to do anything, but I know it's not going to happen, so I just aim at having a comfortable life as devoid as stress as possible
Oh, and I don't wanna get old. And I don't care for death, in fact, sometimes I think I'd like death to happen to me not when I'm very old but before |
being old is a mindset, if you want to you can Stay Young in your head till you die, of course, ideally, I would like to Live Forever
|
I wouldn't want to live forever, I think it would be boring.
And no, at least I wouldn't be able, seeing myself with white hair, curved, with prostate problems, hard of hearing, I wouldn't think of myself as young
|
I would like to live forever. The Universe is a huge place, there's so many countries, and so many changes that will occur. It'll be impossible to experience everything in one era.
|
In one life, maybe it's impossible. Maybe it's even impossible in two, three, bur forever? There's always a limit of things you can do. Basically, you're asking for your life to be endless in a universe that doesn't offer endless possibilities, that may offer a lot more than we can count, but there's always a limit. You're gonna get bored, sooner or later
|
Would you consider boredom to be painful or negative?
Let's just think this in a really simplistic manner.
Lets say there are positive and negative conscious experience. Can there ever be a neutral one?
And I really find it hard to be completely bored, even if it is infinity. You're assuming that I would never forget things. But if the nature of the immortality was me eventually forgetting stuff, then I should be able to enjoy the same things.
I would also rather be bored and lying on a nice grassy hill with some breeze than having absolute oblivion, not even darkness, but just nothing.
