If you could live forever...

Post Reply New Topic

Living forever is like trying to prove nature wrong and that is just stupid.

I would like to become a revolutionary,archaeologist,chef,sheep farmer and then eventually die

I am a bit curious, Can immortals commit suicide?

Everything.

I'd like to learn how to find a partner that can live forever with me. I wouldn't really want to learn anything because I S#CK with typical learning thanks to my dyslexia. I'd rather just learn what I have to to be happy than worry about learning for the sake of it

Nature says nothing on its own but is only interpreted. Either way though, the end cap gene that erodes with each cycle of cell division is what allows for cells to age. There are already codes in our genomes which would allow for the end cap gene to be repaired along with each cell division, but those genes are switched off in us. However, some creatures, such as sequoias, have been alive for about 4,000 years and they are still alive.

I would travel the world by foot without ever worrying about food, water, or shelter.

I would live in solitude... preferably somewhere that's snowy, mountainy, and forest-y, and live among animals. I tend to make very strong bonds with the few people in my life, and I couldn't bare to watch their bodies fall apart and then die, and I wouldn't want the potential to run into more people that could become special to me.

With that, I'd probably just study my surroundings, and how to challenge myself for entertainment... probably make running jumps off cliffs for the hell of it... probably try arm wrestling with bears and fail... then go a bit mad and spend most of my eternity in delusions and such while I frustrate wolves that can't figure out why they can't rip me apart >_>

gr8 thread!

I'd learn everything that I can about the human body. I'd also study life on other planets and travel the solar system.

I'd learn every language.

I'd live a fantasy.

I would study History and use that position to try to save and preserve knowledge. Maybe make a kind huge Library Vault of some kind that holds copies or originals of important works of Art or Literature. I would also study painting myself.

Also I think any Immortal would do well to study fighting and martial arts. The two seem to go together. Partly just as a physical and mental practice along with meditation. But also in case you get caught up in Mortal affairs like wars and revolutions you just want to get out of.

I would meditate on a mountain and learn about fighting arts :o And develop special powers, because it should be possible if i live forever, but i want everyone to live forever then :x Else it will be lonely and very sad if everyone died.

i think i would spend it at uni. as much stress as it causes me there is so much i want to learn. id do that multiculturalism in political theory class i wanted to do. id do a gender and womens study major(well if i did it at my uni it would be a minor because of the cutbacks-damn you fred hilmer(our chancellor)). i also want to learn latin, lebanese arabic because it would be nice if i were fluent in my first language, french, japanese and while im at it russian, bosnian, hebrew, gaelic, welsh. political economy sometimes sounds interesting and society and culture as a minor. apparently one of my comrades teaches classes in marxism at ANU i think so i want to do that. oh and i want to do australian labour history. my comrades just make it sound so lively and exciting. also im doing a legal studies minor now and that is good because it involves australian politics so we get to learn about refugees, labour party, aboriginal struggles and all that. and there is an aboriginal studies minor at uni. i want to do that. oh and a politics minor too. hrm. i think i have exhausted the arts faculty courses. although there is a film studies course that sounds like a bludge... also i want to learn jujitsu, judo and kendo. and archery.

If I could live forever I'd study biology to perfect skin repair, because at the rate I accidently cut myself, by the time I was 500 I'd have SERIOUS layers of scars upon scars

Forever would seriously loose its appeal for me after the sun has burned out and i'm sitting alone in the dark on a frozen burned-out piece of rock... if i'm lucky

If I could live forever, I would already know everything. So I would have nothing to learn.

If I could live forever, I'd study everything. I'd have all the time in the world to learn, and haven't found anything yet that I'm incapable of understanding if I throw my brain at it with enough force, so I don't see why I can't.

Chiefly, though, theology and the classics.
