Do I feel pain? Do I experience remorse? Or do those things fade away the longer I live? Or would I eventually become so acquainted with them that they would consume me?
Iād try and become a lightning rod for exploring all the unknowns internal and external, so as to ease the minds of all the pathetic mortal meat sacks that will inevitably grovel at my feet.
Iād probly also do some gnarly parlor tricks.
you ever see anybody put the joint in their mouths backwards and spontaneously combust, only to watch them come back in the front door and smoke the joint they just lit before it hits the floor?
Given consciousness is infinite from the get go, weāre all immortal already, changing bodies like overalls. Living from that viewpoint, Iām having fun like a fool in a field.
Weāre here forever baby!
Always learning, always evolving, however slow it may seem.
Being human is like being on holiday from being the consciousness of EVERYTHING.
The quantum processor that manages its programs, we all apps.
You die twice, once when you shed this mortal coil and once again, the last time someone remembers you.
we as mortals consider nature to be forever-ish (and it is, in a way, compared to humans; even when ānatureā has phased us out, ānatureā has really just become inhospitable to us and will continue its ānaturalā swing of the pendulum)
On one hand itās ludicrous to blindly adhere to modern religions, but at the same time itās so strange to be anything at all. Itās so far off in the land of probabilities that evolution from the primordial ooze to the flipper boy that I amā¦I shouldnāt exist. Bumble bees are goofy.
So if time ends, do you get to stop being immortal, or do you take a long nap in the ether?
Noā¦ but I stayed at a Holiday Inn one time.
you have spent your time here wisely young jedi
Why should time ever end?
Iām having a good time, aināt planning on stopping any time.
Infinite planets to explore.
Our time, donāt you guys get it? Donāt you guys see, this is our time. our time
Paraphrased from the goonies
Our time ends
Man, Iād be able to read so much. itād be great. I donāt know how Iād handle the inevitable ennuiā¦probably destructively. or upload to crystal and shoot out to space.
Thereās the twilight zone episode about that, all the time in the world to read, but he breaks his glasses and canāt see to read. The glasses are the lense through which we see and the books are the lives we want to live
Neither of which stand the test of time if thereās no one there to see it
Love you folks donāt let me die lol
Having already lived until the end of time, watched everyone and everything I cared about die, gotten bored and destroyed the universe, and time traveled back to answer this question; I would sacrifice myself to close the portal to the Abyss and stop the Dragon Queen from entering the world, because eternity alone with nothing but my own imagination to entertain myself would drive me crazy.
I wonder how asian cultures or Buddhist cultures would respond to such a question. Buddhist traditions hold that society itself is over 100,000 years old; not 10,000 as we are taught in Western culture.
Youāre a time traveler too?? Surprised we have never metā¦
Pandoras box opening has facilitated the thoughts you just thunk.
I read a story about a guy who time travelled to 1940s America. He got there and then told everyone that he witnessed his own death in the future and time travelled to the past to live a full life. Turns out he was lying ā¦just didnāt want to end up in some government experiment. Poor guyā¦at least he never died (implying that he is immortal).
The story goes on in that he did his own government experiments. Began āexperimentingā with plants on a government airbase. Sure blindsided those 1940s folks.
Itās really quite interesting. The guy, who time travelled, as it turns out his other self, was actually a high ranking military officer. So he was an older version of himself in the past where the younger version was a high ranking officer.
So it concludes in that the guy lives like 85 years as āthe time travelerā and then travels back to his original time (which is actually a couple decades in the past) and resumes his old life.
Woke up this morning, got a blue moon in your eyes.
There are an infinite points on a clock. There are infinite clocks.
This thread is starting to sound like a cursed monkey paw storyā¦
"The men who murdered Muhammed " is a good one I forgot who wrote it, itās a short story
