Reschke - Billions of years till Sun starts to inflate.  Plenty of time to figure something out, if this solar system is still deemed so precious.A few centuries and space access ought to be routine.  No more crowding then. 


Yes, but eventually you have to face the "Gnab Gib".

You'd have to have had a really easy life to this point to not see the down sides of living forever.

It's about as inexact as it could be.  It's meaningless.  It vaguely says something only about what you see.  Not what's better or worse and why, unless implied, or what you'd do and why you'd do it because of what you saw.  A non-argument.

The implied point- that you have to have had an easy life to naively expect living forever to be puppies and sunshine, or even merely bearable - isn't even justified, in that quoted post nor in reality.  I'd want to live forever mainly because of the hardships I've known.  Because I've never known any where tackling them,successfully or not, left me with a bad conscience.
It's a bogus argument like so many others made by mechanic before.  My money's on the real argument being that because life is hard it's not worth living.  Well ok, give it up.  It's only hard because you don't have the self-respect to take adversity head on and not beat yourself over failing even though you did your best.

Like I said.  Defeatism.

Ha.   Took me a while to figure it out.

not necessarily. I'm still working to an easy life....I've been living off of Ramen noodles for months now. I'd like to get to that "easy" point and enjoy it.

Please notice the bold text in my quote, Moot. Despite your predictable, yet eloquent, attempts to discredit my nature I shall afford you a further post here.

I never answered the question, would I say 'yes' or 'no'. Your spite is getting ahead of your comprehension.

It appeals to me as I love history.

I could not pass the opportunity to live it. And after 100 years or so. Remember it.

I would, there's so many things to see in this world. It's impossible to "do it all" so to speak, in one lifetime.

no credibility

And as pointed out above, no argument, no stance, no reasoning, nothing.  And someone quotes it and says "exactly".  Exactly nothing.

Life is a game, Moot. I hope you see that one day and start simply enjoying it a bit more.
