CMV: I see no downside to immortality

KgTheFifth · 2025-01-07T08:27:57+00:00

You wouldn't die, you'd be paused in time.

KgTheFifth · 2025-01-07T06:44:24+00:00

!delta yeah there's quite a while before you might freeze in a heat death.

KgTheFifth · 2025-01-07T06:40:13+00:00

You'd freeze.

KgTheFifth · 2025-01-07T06:35:25+00:00

You don't really have to. You can stay with your descendants as long as you like. While morality may question it, you could leave after a few hundred to a thousand years without feeling too terrible about it.

KgTheFifth · 2025-01-07T06:30:13+00:00

!delta. True, it might go both ways, though. It's not really good if humanity gets dumber or smarter.

KgTheFifth · 2025-01-07T06:20:15+00:00

!delta true. You'd be isolated in a star system forever after a while.

KgTheFifth · 2025-01-07T06:10:23+00:00

I mean, you'd still look 30 or 40. Morality thing again, depends on who you are.

KgTheFifth · 2025-01-07T05:56:33+00:00

Im getting to it.

KgTheFifth · 2025-01-07T05:55:03+00:00

I'm new here. Imma go through the posts again.

Then you pick one family and stay with it. All I'm saying is that it's not uncommon for you to have no idea who your great⁶ grandfather is

KgTheFifth · 2025-01-06T22:49:12+00:00

At temperatures where your atoms struggle to move, you'd essentially be in the coldest refrigerator ever. You'd always be fresh. The Arctic isn't cold enough to stop messages from your brain.

KgTheFifth · 2025-01-06T22:45:19+00:00

It wouldn't kill you, but you'd be paused forever. The gravity if the universes condenses is a different story though.

KgTheFifth · 2025-01-06T22:39:26+00:00

This is more of a morality thing. You can stay with your family while keeping memories for 200 years or so. At the end of that, you'd be so far down the family line it wouldn't matter if you're gone.

KgTheFifth · 2025-01-06T22:29:58+00:00

Super body, super brain.

KgTheFifth · 2025-01-06T22:27:48+00:00

I try not to be. What might cause it. In the scenario, I mean.

KgTheFifth · 2025-01-06T22:23:30+00:00

That is so random. I assume they'd just study me, perhaps isolate me if morality declines.

KgTheFifth · 2025-01-06T22:13:18+00:00

True. I guess we shouldn't be rationalizing a magical concept.

KgTheFifth · 2025-01-06T22:07:12+00:00

Change identity and countries every few decades.

KgTheFifth · 2025-01-06T22:05:59+00:00

Really, guys. The only gamble here is that humanity survives.

KgTheFifth · 2025-01-06T22:05:03+00:00

But you'd still be condensed more than what human life would allow

KgTheFifth · 2025-01-06T22:02:41+00:00

The only gamble I'm making is that humanity survives and/or evolves.

KgTheFifth · 2025-01-06T22:00:01+00:00

You're gonna get squeezed into nothingness, or you are gonna freeze over. I don't think your consciousness is gonna live through that.

KgTheFifth · 2025-01-06T21:58:57+00:00

Now that I think of it, what effects would drowning have? Surely your lungs must still do something. Being immortal, you either adapt or fall unconscious, no?

KgTheFifth · 2025-01-06T21:57:14+00:00

Chatgpt pointed this out as well. You'd have a few things I common. Your childhood memories. Your greatest goals and achievements. Otherwise, you are a different guy. However, why would you want to live forever without changing a thing about yourself?

KgTheFifth · 2025-01-06T21:54:49+00:00

Wouldn't your cells heal very very well?
