No plans. I die like a real man.

Who wants. To live. Forever?

I don't? It sounds like a horrible curse. Part of the reason life is meaningful is that we're only temporary witnesses of the universe.

my background in biochemistry makes me think it's almost guaranteed to be impossible, so i don't worry about it.

however, in hypothetical case it isn't, i'd argue that it would be proper to destroy this technology in all cases along with inventors, because it would be horridly expensive initially, and first people to get it would be people like peter thiel and larry ellison. there was a recording where putin and xi admitted that they are also interested. then what you'll get would be class of immortal oligarchs. planck once said, progress in physics happens one funeral at a time, it's really more general than just physics, and you can say goodbye to any progress from that point on

I don't intend to live forever, that sounds rough as hell.

Why the hell would I want to live forever, I don't want to be alive now

I've seen enough sci-fi to know it's a terrible idea! 🤣

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.

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.

Quantum Immortality. There is at least one version of me that lives on.

I'm supposed to have a plan for this?

"Forever" is a long time. Only this universe still has a few billion years to go. Washing my dishes every day for all this time would be boring. No thanks!

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

Thanks to denial, I'm immortal!

Fuck forever, just let my upcoming prostate biopsy be negative. I'm retiring and I have shit to do that doesn't involve sitting in front of the TV wearing a diaper.

I was not aware it was optional.

Only insane billionaires plan for that.

I'm not looking to live forever. Just another 40 to 50 years as long as I'm healthy. Only plan for that is to eat somewhat healthy and get a couple hours of cardio and strength training in a few times a week. Nothing obsurd just enough to maintain strength as I age and get the heart pumping.

Shrug. The closest that real biology allows. I already have children so at least some sense a part of me will live on for at least the duration of their lives.

Past that I'm with most people on here that immortality sounds horrific. Now I can get behind extended life span especially if medicine and society provide for being actually healthy and able to enjoy it. Just not forever.

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

Why would anyone want this?

I don't even think I wanna wake up tomorrow.

I won't

Like Bob from the Bobiverse.

I only plan for things that are possible so no plan to live forever.

Having said that, scientists are working on a cure for aging. Even if they sort that out before I die, the treatments will be too expensive for me.

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

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

I have no intention of trying to be immortal, just try to live a long time through healthy eating and exercise

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.

I have "kidnapped" a small child and am brainwashing them to think like me.

they will be me, essentially.

one day they will do the same, and "I" will live on for eternity.

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

Hopefully I will find a magical lamp, with a wish granting genie inside, in some mysterious bazaar. Then I will use one of my three wishes for my own immortality, after I've wished away anyone who currently has that wish in place. Then use the last one to give the genie his freedom.

Something something adeptus mechanicus.

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

Magic notebook.

Everything I write in it becomes true.

Who wants to 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 expext to live forever, seriously. Just not in this body and not on this planet.

I'm betting on the phlebotinum

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?

Just fly a rocket into a stable orbit near a black hole and wait until the time dilation causes 1000s of years to pass on earth, then go back and hope someone has figured it out.

I plan to die like a normal human being.

Have no idea why people want to cling to this life for super long. It really isnt that amazing.
