RR Episode D2 - No Thank You

Rozey Reloads. Taking advantage of the huge improvements in video quality since early 2007, I'm reloading some of my earlier videos. This video explains why I find promises of Eternal Life not only empty, but I wouldn't be interested even if they were real.

I agree, I think it is just as well that life and consciousness is finite. Every version of eternal life that I have heard of sounds like hell to me.

I read a study based on life insurance actuary tables that predicted that if humans became immune to all disease, infectious and hereditary, and even aging, our live span would be about 600 years at best.

Accidents and homicides would get us eventually so life would still be finite.

[rozeboosje]

Yup. The thought that your life span may one day be indefinite sounds quite appealing. Until you realise that, being virtually immortal but practically you will still die one day, even if that day is completely unknown and unpredictable, then the only ways left to shuffle off this mortal coil are tragic. You just can't win.

she's a cutie. i still want to be immortal tho, i also want to be rich and healthy,...you cant miss what you never had :)

[PinkProgram]

Are you sure humans can handle immortality o.O you're all so self destructive.

[rozeboosje]

No chance. I wouldn't mind though if some of the severe limitations that are currently imposed on our life span were lifted. I wouldn't want to live forever, but it would be nice if our life spans weren't so bloody definite. If you even make it to age 100, you know that you're certainly not going to be around much longer.

Is there a god?...NO... there is no need for one the universe can not be created or destroyed. Life is a process and so to is what you call death. Death is life in a different form we call it death because the physical faculties we are used to we have to give those up when the time comes. It may not be life as we perceive it here on earth but its not the end of anything.

[freaky7377]

There is no such thing as nothingness so to say you die and go back to nothingness is ridiculous because to come from nothing then exist then go back to being nothing is preposterous . Do we know if we will be able to interact on some level of consciousness .....We don't know...Will we be aware of it... we don't know.

[freaky7377]

Through out its existence it will change its form thousands of times over. DEATH DOES NOT EXIST. You will only change from one state of energy to another. Life as you understand it will not continue in the form of a physical being with the 5 senses you currently have.

[freaky7377]

OK people...Here is the thing. Life is existence and existence itself is eternal..WHY?....Because energy can not be created or destroyed but only changes its form. everything in the universe is energy it has always existed and will always exist.

@rozeboosje: Yes. That kind of "immortality" is much more appealing. One where *I* choose whan I die. And one where accident or foul play might, just maybe, be able to kill me... sign me up :) But, no "Djinni" style immortality where you are ever-living, but not neccessarily ever-healthy (remembers movies like Wishmaster, X-Files and dozens of novels with literal minded Djinn).

[RyuDarragh]

@PinkProgram: That would actually be a really cool thing. You'd be able to access all those what-ifs in slightly older timelines to see what each action could bring, ferret out new tech and be able to see younger timelines and get a better idea of some of your possible past events. Even if the older/younger timelines stated to diverge early, you'd probably be able to guess days or weeks in advance. And you might access memories from a timeline where you are the opposite gender.

[macnutz]

In deed. If you are seeking eternal life, you can't win.

Hold off for a hybrot symbiotic system ^_^ jellyfish tech trumps robotics :3
