Ask Lemmy

Oh, god, I don't. Not even close.

Thats the neat part, I dont. I simply continue the routine of putting food in my face and if anything bad happens... Try and deal with it.

Due to my job, if about half of the fortold "end-timed" occure, its not an issUe not an issME. Ill probably be at ground-zero of what ever it is, or atleast down the block from it...

Have fun in the appocalypse. If its zombies, I get to do that one.

Like Bob from the Bobiverse.

i dont, i let my dead body become fertilzer to the plants

I would have no regrets if I die tomorrow.

Are you a billionaire? Cause unless you are it's like a child wanting to be Batman when they grow up.

I read The Postmortal by Drew Magary.

If no one dies, life is worthless.

And if only I stay alive forever, my wife and my friends are gone, and it’s just me, alone, in this shattered husk of a body.

Who wants to live forever?

Crack my skull and spine, pull out my spinal cord, brain, and eyes, pop 'em in a robot body.

Realistically I'll probably die in a heat wave.

Just for fun, if a like-minded individual has any possibility to physically preserve my brain (not a copy!) in their makeshift lab I'd probably roll the dice on that one if things were half-clean. Yeah, I know, the odds aren't good.

In terms of cyborg stuff, I would want something more organic than popsci typically shows though. Like having a semi-synthetic body that is its own multi-cellular, symbiotic organism. That can further connect to other things (like to the myconet to exchange resources).

I would not want to live forever, though. If I did anything like that I'd probably live isolated for a while and then retire into my own brain.

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 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".

Lol is vampirism an option? All option are basically losing your humanity. I'll list some non magical ones:

Genetic enginerring: ok maybe i can improve my form by fixing the DNA deteriorating but how much memory will I be able to retain? Psychosis is going to suck.

Cloning/body swap with memory transfer: Basically all im doing is killing a version of me for a new one to start. Id have to be real chill with that or kill my self right as it starts to have continuity. Play SOMA for more insight. I know my SO could not handle that. Id get used to but not really ideal. Also issue of how much memory can be retained.

Digital upload in quantum computer: Your physical form still dies but this one is my favorite but with a few "*" Because this can easily be condemned a version of yourself to hell. Basically your digital soul needs complete control of your environment and be able to escape to real mechanical or biological body on whim. Being restricted like in Upload will be nightmare. Then you need to be able to resolve having multiple overlapping memory if you have versions out and about doing stuff. Then you can multi task and consolidate memories without versions of you going rouge.

Brain in jar with human meat puppet

This one is similar to others but my original brain didnt die. This will similar to Jimmy in hard core Henry. Same issues with psychological aging but least your original self still exists.

Can't think of any others within realm of "science".

I was not aware it was optional.

Why on earth would I want that? It‘s a fate I wouldn‘t wish on my worst enemy.

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.

Ever? None. I'm not foolish enough to think I can live forever. Even if I could be upload to a computer, I wouldn't. That sounds more like hell than heaven. No Earthly pleasures.

Already died once. The second time will be fine.

I don't. The idea of doing this in perpetuity is painful. I would like to earn my rest.

Not really not dying ever (entropy will came for everyone some day). But let's say not doing for very, veeeery long time.

I am 35 in reasonable health. I have reasonable chance to live until development, distribution and cheaping of real anti-aging / rejuvenation therapies (that can be 20 years). So my plan is to help spread awareness about such therapies to support their development rather sooner than later. I am thinking about founding an organization to support writing Wikipedia articles in many languages about this topic.

And in case of premature death, I intent to sign up for cryopreservation to buy some time to researchers to develop therapies for whatever would kill me in the meantime.

I'd like to learn enough biology to cure aging and cancer. But first the politics need to change, so that's my priority.

Something something adeptus mechanicus.

Entering the afterlife like a bio-person.

AGI singularity seems like the best bet

Walking more.

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.

Starting this year, limited booze intake to 2 days per year.

Bought a Personal Locator Beacon for off-grid activities.

In order to be around when gen-eng, consciousness upload, medical age reversal, are real prospects. Still wouldn't opt for them though, here and now is it.

I'm betting on the phlebotinum

What, why would I want that, what am I gonna do with forever, more of this shit, no thanks

Chemo synthetic extention until bci is workable. Bio carbon medium is too fragile

Why would anyone want this?
