Why would I need to… No I don’t plan on trying again for that specific reason… Sometimes when things are bad enough or I’m pissed enough I try but nothing ever ends up coming of it.
Death is a mistress I will never know. Suicide was so 5-10 years ago, eventually you just kind of move on from it.
If you wanted to be tied forever to capitalism then yeah making a lot of money would let you live with it forever. Your survival becomes linked to lots of money meaning something. Careful what you wish for though.
Not an option unfortunately… Immortal is immortal :(
Well all possibilities are possible, so you get a sense of choice even though any choices that would lead to your death are unseen to you or simple not taken.
I’ve found the futher ahead you plan the more likely something is to happen so there is still a little choice. I’ve never been able to plan any of these suicide boxes that other people have mentioned tho…(not in any real sense anyways.)
The questions wasn’t if it was a bad deal, you are already immortal. I was just trying to get some ideas on what could be done to make ones life better given these parameters.
Yes, you will do as little socializing as possible. Just enough socializing to prevent extreme depression and thus unaliving.
You’ll cook your own food because ordering out all the time isn’t healthy.
Diseases aren’t necessarily something that it negates. For example, if you get COVID and it makes you dumber, that’s a plus because then now you’re easier to manipulate because you can’t plan ahead as far. versions of you that could plan ahead farther might be more likely to make decisions that would go against your odds of surviving in any given scenario.
You’d be surprised what things you might think are safe actually end up not being safe at all.
Unfortunately, it’s extremely hard to choose to lose your job. You keep going to work, even though you would rather stay at home and just read books.
I’ve been actively trying to lose my job by just not working, but what happens is the org ends up in a state of chaos, people are losing their jobs left and right( Except me, of course 🙄…😮💨)… My boss retires, all so I fall under the radar.
Some insane shit happens when You decide you’re not getting a job after your current one, and yet you stop putting in any effort.
Thank you for this idea though, making bets on ones life could be a way to profit/make money if that was something you wanted.
Likely you would just never choose to be a daredevil. Lets say you did tho, likely you would fail to ever plan an event. Lets say you got to an event and you are driving down the track, yes you would always stick the landing and everything would just work.
Its more likely many other things happen before that though, I would think. Knowing the probability in these things is hard. Like if the choice is between you being a daredevil and you 100-99% dying from depression then you will choose to be a daredevil.
Its very hard to know these things tho as you don’t know all the variables. Thats why in my other comment I mention it is easier to chose to not do things because you can know and actively choose against the variables in those cases.
It doesn’t just affect decisions you make, but also all things around you. Decisions others make and events that happen. Everything is acting on probability, you just only exist in the universes where… well… you exist.
The shitty thing is in this scenario you don’t get to choose the option to be immortal or not, you just are. You get as much choice in the matter as how much choice you have in being born, that is to say, none.
I suspect some kind of brain uploading or simulating will be created in ones lifetime. Its likely in order to be this kind of immortal you would only be able to exist near or around the invention of brain uploads or simulations.
Any other time you would not be born, or experience existence.
I got tired of constantly gaslighting myself about the nature of reality and decided to call it’s bluff. Its exhausting having the same thoughts over and over again and constantly questioning them.
It did bring me some solace, but also changed a lot of things. Knowing you’re immortal makes your perspective on life change completely. I don’t know how to explain it.
After that I began planning on the homeless thing mentioned above. I’m probably one on of the very few if only people to have ever gone from a 40$ hour job to actively planning to become homeless haha.
You don’t understand tho, the thought of being homeless is so exhilarating, imagine being trapped your whole life and planning your escape. Thinking about it and planning for it has been some of the happiest moments in recent memory.
I don’t think people in comas have a good chance of survivability. There’s all kinds of stuff that can kill you in a coma. Bed sores, pneumonia, infection, bleeding, so many things.
Sick! Thank you for the recommendation friend!
You had me laughing pretty hard at the “worst life imaginable part.” Sometimes it feels like that.
Although you got to remember that if one’s life gets too bad, then they’re more likely to be depressed and off themselves.
So they would get some semblance of enjoyability out of life.
Well, you’re right about some things. I do barely ever go outside. But as with the knives and other things, I think you have to take into account the probability of one not doing those things versus the probability of one dying from them.
The probability of me never using a knife is very unlikely. If it’s more unlikely for me to never use a knife and thus not slice myself, then it is unlikely that I would use one. I’ll use one.
I’ve tried slicing my neck. I just end up fainting.
In my time studying this, I have figured one thing out though. It’s easier to choose not to do something and have the outcome happen than the other way around.
For example: Say I want the world to become a better place that’s friendlier to homeless people( Really, what I mean is more friendly to the most vulnerable among us.). (More Communist/Anarchist hopefully)
So what I did is I decided that I’m never going to get a job after my current one Unless it’s a communist or anarchist one.
What I’ve found is that it’s more likely for the whole world to change, to warp itself around, keeping me alive. Then for me to just randomly have all my muscles spasm in a way to make and submit a resume to apply for a job, and then continue to go to that job.(Essentially it’s more likely for the world to change than for the million monkeys to type out Shakespeare.) In theory, eventually this would make the world a better place. If I’m immortal and I become the most vulnerable among us, then the world would have to make the survivability of being the most vulnerable among us greater.
Anyways, I’m just wondering what other people might do, or if there’s other things people can think of that might be more efficient.
Yeah just use the default setup. Some minor tweaks at first, then it stays the same forever.
Once you get it setup tho, it works the same forever.
Damn fren.
