I wouldn't worry about it. Thanks to Obama we are all going to be cybernetic immortals within the next 30 years,
I don't care what happens to my body. It's my mind that I want to survive.

It just quits being a being animated... But sooner or later that same stuff that you were made out of us is going to be used for something else.

I've quoted that so many times to friends, but I've no idea where it came from.Slavik81 said:Not true. I plan on living forever.
So far, so good.
You know, what you said makes me feel better, because on the grand scale of things people like Bill Gates or Steve Jobs are just blips in the universe too.Wickerbasket said:Why spend you time thinking about death?
Death isn't worth thinking about. You ceased to exist for millions of years before you were born, and you'll cease to exist for millions of years later. You're not important on any grand scale.
You could die today or tomorrow and never see it coming. It's best just to live your life the way you see fit and make the best with what you've got.
Deal with death when it happens.

When I thought about it I realised that there is nothing I can do stop dieing eventually and when I am dead, there is nothing afterwards. So I figure that I may as well just enjoy life and try to live with no regrets. Since then I havent really thought about death.
Yeah, if I was a rich, intelligent robot or a Motoko Kusanagi I wouldn't cry if my body got damaged. I could simply be uploaded into a fresh new body.InaudibleWhispa said:I don't care what happens to my body. It's my mind that I want to survive.

I'd be happy with living forever if I could at any moment end it on my own terms. Also I don't think we'd still be stuck on Earth in millions of years.Holepunch said:If you think death is so bad, try existing forever.
Sure, sounds good on paper. Exist forever. Why not? Of course it would suck if only you existed forever, and you had to watch all your friends and family and virtually everyone in your generation wither and die. But what if we just stagnated the population, no new births and everyone lives forever? Sounds great, you might even enjoy the first couple hundred years. But a thousand years? Then the next thousand? What about after a million years and your perception of time becomes skewed where decades pass as seconds. Then live a few billion years and watch the sun burn out and our galaxy collide and be swallowed by blackness. Spend the remainder of the universe's (possibly infinite) time cold and frightened and struggling to remember a semblance of self or even a language you once spoke.
That, my friend, is the definition of Hell.

Occasionally.Jea Song said:Ever think about your death?
Maybe the definition of your Hell. I find the idea exhilarating. It'd be the ultimate in exploration. You could spend an eternity learning. The universe may come to an end but then why can't it also have another beginning? You'd get to experience something no other person has or ever will.Holepunch said:If you think death is so bad, try existing forever.

.Do You Realize?? said:Do you realize
That you have the most beautiful face?
Do you realize
We're floating in space?
Do you realize
That happiness makes you cry?
Do you realize
That everyone you know someday will die?
And instead of saying all of your goodbyes
Let them know you realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn't go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round
Do you realize?
(Oh, oh, oh)

Won't be so bad if God has an N64 and Goldeneye.StoOgE said:To me, the very idea of heaven is bad. I mean, you live forever.. that is probably great for thousands of years.. then what? You just keep on existing after you've done everything you want to do and literally anything you do is boring.
Whats the fucking point?
Everything was stardust at one point... So it's possible. Or just worm poop.DonMigs85 said:You mean my body becomes the grass?
so basically need to form babby before dying to leave a reminder of your existence.Lucc said:when i was around 16 i thought about it a lot. i never believed in a live after death or
reincarnation and it realy upset me that i would just disappear once i died. with all my
memories, what i was, what i am. it would keep me up whole nights.
but eventually i stoped worrying about it. i found a purpose. while i die my son is going to
keep living. he's going to carry my blood and i'll teach him my ideals, my way of living and
my kung fu so that he can revenge my death and kill my evil twin brother.
too bad i don't have an evil twin brother. my brother is a realy cool and straight guy
wait a sec.. oh shit
