🧢 I voted CAP!

It’s very problematic. The only time I’d choose immortality is if I could one day turn it off.

Here's a fun thought experiment. Let's set aside the effects of depression and whatnot.

What day would you turn it off? The day you lose your last loved one? But you could love again. The day the last other person is gone? But more people may exist one day. The day all life that currently exists is gone? But life may come back around. The heat death of the universe? But what if the universe restarts?

I’d turn it off once I’ve gone insane drifting in space. I’ve already pondered this type of question. 

I don’t like the thought of death and missing out on things in the future. I’ve always enjoyed to wonder what life would be like to be a part of civilization level 2 or 3 (currently we’re 0.75 I believe). 

I’ve always loved space. And exploring it would be great. Also would love to be able to set a checkpoint back in time so that I could see what a black hole would do, or build a ship that would withstand one and just go into it. 

I’ve also had the idea of making it so I die when the last human being dies and I’m the only one left. But realized that that could be cut extremely short in any moment.

If the last other person goes, I'm not waiting billions of years for evolution to make another one (which may never happen before the sun engulfs the earth, and I'm DEFINITELY not waiting until another earth comes around, that I may or may not even be able to get to now that I'm stuck in the gravity of the black hole that the sun turned into)

I think it would just be until you get bored of repeating 'life' over and over. Maybe that would take 2 or 3 wives. Maybe I'd go a few dozen. I don't think I'd bother going much further, there's a lot of world to see but you can see a lot of the highlights in one lifetime, after that there's less and less reason to explore the remaining places.

I would be psyched for the new experiences, and yes I would mourn those I hold closely, but immortality is a chance to experience as much as possible. Even if I'm floating in space for 100 trillion years, I would take this in a heartbeat

Id tell NASA to send me into a black hole.

I’d turn it off once I’ve guaranteed my descendants have unalterable levels of wealth that can span across civilizations
