Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

YYH is great, watch it. English dub is good too (for once).

inb4 the hate.

Found a funny gif but it has *** in it and I don't know how to censor an animated pic :(

So have this instead

Also cue Shyamalan:

There's two characters in doctor who, kinda put out that longing for death.
Ashildr, lives to the literal end to the universe. and the largest issue she faced was that, she had lived for so long, she couldn't remember how she became immortal in the first place, or the time era she came from.
She did not get involved with time travel, and just lived to the end of the universe to go back to time travel.

She kept a library of books to remind herself of her past "Lives" she lived. As her human memory could not physically remember where she came from who she really was etc.

Which if you think about it. That would happen if you did become immortal. You'd just, kind of forget, the era and where you'd came from. Things you did after a while, will be kind of meaningless in the grander scale of things. And that is kind of sad.

After a certain point i'd be willing to bet you'd have a TOTAL identity crisis.
The human brain isn't designed to live for 100 years like we already do. And you can see that with the illnesses and ailments of "Old Age".
But imagine that, with a younger body, and on an infinity scale of time.

You'd have to question after a certain point "Who am I?"

This topic makes me kinda sad.

With the amount of automation accessories that wash ashore, you'd think PUP was the one that was nerfed >.>

And I guess once upon a time we also weren't meant to live past the 40s.

We improve medicine and lifestyles, we live longer, it's that simple.

We're likely to double human lifespan in the next 50 years. With decent chances of attaining immortality within a century(pending new unpredictable stuff).

I'm sure after the first several centuries, the human brain accepts immortality along with the rest of the body.

Sure, you might go crazy with grief after the first century, but when you get over your significant other's deaths, it's like they were your pets. Sure, you remember every single one of your pets you had in your life, but you don't constantly grieve for them after they have been dead for a couple of years.

I'm totally fine with living forever. I'm also totally fine with dying at any point. I don't really have any fears, but the thought of having a weak useless body incapable of even basic things wouldn't suit me at all.

That's why I've put aging on hold for myself!

Like my body almost literally went into a lock at 17..makes me wonder if it's true the thing that traumas block your growing..or in this case aging?

No it wouldn't. One, that argument is invalid. Your chances wouldn't be 100%. It'd be the same as it was at any time in your life right now. And then, even if you did get pinned, the thing on top of you would eventually wear away. Rocks erode, metal rusts, wood rots, and you could speed up the process by wearing it away with your unbreakable body.

And truly, ideas about immortality in a human body are very similar to imaginings of time travel. There's always this plethora of flaws and inconsistencies, because the tech/reality is still fiction.

I'm of the mind that the only real torture would be growing to love people, and then having to watch them fade away time after time. Fairly certain after a certain number of lifetimes you'd seek seclusion. Of course, it all comes down to what kind of person you are in the first place. Some people just like to use and abuse others, and wouldn't have any qualms about loving and leaving or loving and deceiving.

I think I could handle being immortal, if I had a youthful body. Though I think the scariest thing would be if the world went to war again. Imagine being immortal in a world that gets wiped out by nuclear war. The Earth gets glassed over and becomes husk like the other 3 rock planets before the asteroid belt. Unable to die, but unable to really live. Wandering from place to place with a mostly hollow stomach, rasping for a drink of clean water, and being truly alone.

Of course, that all assumes that the immortal body still requires any of those functions and isn't somehow transcendent in its way. I mean, if you are beyond age, death, and damage, would you really need to eat, sleep, drink, love, or feel?

Depends if we talk of the real immortality we're going towards, or DB type of imaginary immortality.

I also think this would happen unless your brain was changed as well

Just think about how much you remember from your childhood now, imagine hundreds or even thousands of years

I have the same thing going, at 29 I still look like I belong in high school (or maaaybe college when I have a beard). I figured it's a sign of sturdy genes caused generally by being active, sleeping and eating well, low stress, etc.

Alternatively, we're both immortal and we'll have to duel one day. Not today though, I'm busy.

On a personal level, I think I can handle it just fine. Don't know about the rest of you crazy kids though.

I sincerely doubt my genes are any good, I'm full of recessive traits that nature would love to get rid of.

There's a joke to be had in this quote!

Since we're discussing types of immortality, ponder "Groundhog Day" immortality: when you "die" - from old age, accident, violence, plague, whatever - your mind is kicked back to when you were six minutes old. You re-live your life, with the following conditions:

- Anything that would have happened, that you don't interfere with, happens exactly the same; as in, the winning lottery numbers don't change, unless you end up working as the person who runs the drawing. Anything you interfere with can change, however.

- You retain your memories, but you're still subject to the problems of being a child/teenager; coordination issues as you re-learn to walk, puberty playing hell with your emotions, etc. Also, a one year old who can read the newspaper will raise eyebrows, so you'll have to play it cool for a while.

So, my question for the room: does the timeloop drive you mad, or do you come to value the good parts of it (never have to truly say goodbye to grandma, can always be rich if you choose to be, etc)?

Butterflies would be flying everywhere. I think next to nothing will play out the same, except maybe for who you meet unless you somehow manage to mess with that too.

But I've always loved the idea of this. Knowledge is extremely powerful.

Meanwhile i still have the face of a 12 year old.
I've genuinely been denied Drinks at a bar, with my Passport ID, and they been like "Sorry this is fake ID".

I've also been thrown OUT a bar too for looking "Under aged", and denied a drink.

The face of a 12 year old is not fun!
I'd happily have mortallity just for another 6 years of aging AT LEAST.

Save Kayo-chan with your nakama, or go mad trying!
