Anyway I agree that we have a Stockholm syndrome type response to death but also curing senescence or mortality might destroy our world and species in the end, if we haven't learned to better manage scarcity
Ok but what if pets lived as long as human owners did
one of my all-time favorite tumblr posts.
To the point where I wanna write a thing based on that.
You ever read the Warriors series?
Warriors? Or Warrior Cats?
Not the Warriors that he is talking about, but this is The Warriors to me, every time someone mentions it:
Same, which is ironic considering that the original novel is nothing like the movie. Hell, the gang isnt even called The Warriors, they're the Coney Island Dominators, and are basically a roving gang of rapists. The movie Warriors arent the nicest people but are atleast vaguely sympathetic. Except Ajax.
I'm not sure if immortality is conceptually possible, or even if possible whether it's desirable
Still, if I had to pick a number it'd be higher than 78.74 years
I think The Culture's humans picking 300 as the median age to cease existing seems reasonable to me
It’s not a choice so much as the point that even a perfectly healthy human(ish) body eventually gives out. At which point most of their humanoid citizens are apparently satisfied they had a good run. Except those that don’t and opt for whatever technological wizardry they want to extend their life.

We're talking about a species that cant tell the difference between 5 hours or 5 minutes, I doubt our lifespan difference bothers them much
wow, do you also go to kindergartens to tell kids santa isn't real?
It's 2017, childhood illusions about the world being a magical place are usually destroyed long before kindergarten age.

It may be that every human organism concurrently hosts two consciousnesses, it's just that it's hard to tell because they typically coordinate on almost everything and the right brain only learns to talk if the left brain gets all fucked up.
Possibly, foursomes are more common than we ever imagined.

There was a dude at work today that had a robot hand and like I can't imagine how hard his life probably is dealing with it or what may have happened but it looked Deux Ex as FUCK and all I wanted to do was talk about it.

yes but what if kurt angle sprays someone with milk
Astro City is still the greatest.
Now this is the question I expected from [chat]

It was pretty good. It had a good premise and setup.
"Daddy, you need to teach me everything about this world. Because I don't know everything about this world."
I hugged her and told her that's my job. Feeling an impossible amount of love and heavy responsibility hit me at the same time.
Parenting, man.
well done [chat], good work.

I mean it would be if old people knew how to use Amazon Prime video
My friend is writing a TRPG about a world where the ghosts of our old social media profiles are tangible beings we can interact with
well what if unicorns come flying out of my ass?
an other knife?
The above is a bit horrifying existentially.
It also does not actually answer whether or not MrMister is high.
I mean. NCIS is or was, iirc, the most watched show on TV.

True. Also Blue Bloods
Write enough spam malware and you might just do that.
And/or live till the singularity.
I'm down for qualified immortality
like brain in a robot body or you at 45 forever?
immortality with a human face
Qualified immortality? That leaves me out
I didn't though.
