Would You Want to Live Forever?
from Philosophy Talk · host Philosophy Talk
Pick your favorite age. You are healthy, career thriving, family intact (at least pretend!). Would you like to live forever at that age, in that health, with those friends and family members also living forever with you? Immortality, on earth? How about an extra fifty or one hundred years or two hundred beyond your present life expectancy? Yes! Think of all I could get done! No. I would be bored! Yes, I could sit on the beach, and be in no hurry to do anything. No, life gets its meaning from having a shape, and things without boundaries have no shape. Would an immortal human life be incredibly boring or is a good human life so good it’s worth living to eternity?
