No thanks. I have fun, but I look forward to oblivion when my journey is finished.

I'd like there to be something after death but if its the Christian heaven then I'll pass. I wouldn't want to spend eternity with a lobotomy just kissing their god's ass with all the self-righteous a-holes.

Bait without the switch.

This is awesome.

Pretty much. If this is existence then I don’t need any of the expansion packs.

I’d be willing to try eternal life... if it were real instead of imaginary... and if my body could retain the health of a 20 year old. At least for a few hundred thousand years anyway.

Not for me. When I'm done, I'm done. I've even considered an early exit.

@onthefire
Why?

I'm just not a big fan. I've never been happy and wouldn't know what to do if I was. Most of that is on me, but damn, this world is harsh.

@onthefire
It can be, for sure.

My life isn't a science fiction movie. I'm resigned to the bitter truth of life.

@barjoe
All Homo sapiens lives are a science fiction movie in slow motion. That’s what we do - we create fiction (Star Trek communicators) and then we make it real (smart phones). I don’t expect to see it in my lifetime, but it is totally possible that I will. Kurzweil thinks it could be a reality eight years from now. Scientists who disagree with his timeframe still agree that it will become a reality sooner or later. That, after all is why we write science fiction - to prepare our minds for what’s coming.

@skado Nonsense.

@barjoe
That’s what people said to the Wright brothers.

@skado I'll keep my eyes peeled for Ray Kurzwell's obituary.

@barjoe
That dream won’t die with him. It’s humanity’s favorite fantasy. It will happen, if we don’t make our planet uninhabitable first.
