    Well, one could only hope to be so lucky to be induced into a state like that or similar for the remainder of your eternity. Otherwise, the prior definitely does not outweigh the latter.

      I would guess humans will have successfully established themselves on another planet by then. But in the very long run, I would worry that humans would evolve so everyone was smarter/better than you in some way. That would make it difficult to find friends.

        Even if we migrated to another galaxy still able to sustain life, by the 40th cosmological decade there won't be anything left but black holes, which even then will expire eventually.

            To me this is a one-answer question.
            The pro's tip the scale as opposed to con's. Your understanding of everything would be far beyond anything fathomable. You would have the potential to be the BEST at literally everything.

            To all the people who say that you would get bored......look at what you do on FFR....you sit there for half the day tapping 4 keys for years on end. You wouldn't get bored.

            Living forever as opposed to a tiny speck in time....hmmmmm....

              True dat. Knowledge, fields of knowledge, and things to do expand much, much faster than our own personal happenings do. To say that you would eventually learn EVERYTHING out of the nature of infinite life gets knocked down by virtue of L'Hopital's Rule.

                2012 is wiping out everything anyways, so who cares.

                  Until you get sucked into a black hole and spend the rest of eternity as a literal tiny speck.

                  Eternity is a lot longer than "years on end". In fact, it's infinitely longer. I'm with korny on this one.

                  pps A more likable scenario would be one in which I never age, but could be killed through other means. Drug overdose, bein shot in da ghetto, terminal carpal tunnel syndrome from playing sm, cancer, AIDS, etc.

                    Exactly. Remember, you're still vulnerable to everything else, just not natural aging. Disease, etc can still kill you.

                    I actually think that this would make a person extremely paranoid - they'd start to become overly cautious about driving, flying, germs, etc, because wouldn't it suck even more to die when you can't age?

                        how can you fear death?
                        I think the worst crime you could commit is giving birth to a child.
                        That is basically condemning someone to a life of pain and suffering and disappointment.
                        Plus, if ignorance is bliss than death is the most ultimate form of bliss imaginable.
                        We should do everyone a favor and stop having babies.
                        Because your momma bigger than elephant. Your daddy older than dinosaur. Your sister got so much weave in her head, she grew a snout and hooves of a horse on her feet, and now she look like a minataur.
