I don't see much point in eternal life when you consider that since everything will inevitably happen in your lifetime, nothing has any real significance. Technology is the only thing which would offer variation while everyone you know dies around you. And also, humans can only commit so much to memory - even without reaching capacity, I imagine 800 years would probably be enough to make you forget almost anything, making life pointless.

the human brain has perfect memory, it is your ability to recall which fails. people with 'photographic memory' are really just people with nearly 100% recall ability. i think eternal life would be painful, but not without its perks.

youd be able to keep getting ass forever, and after a long enough time it would be so second nature you could get anyone you want. you could listen to most all of the good music ever made (not all of it, more than one song is being made at a time so its impossible to listen to it all). you could do all the crazy drugs in the world with no worries. you could become super smart by studying for a lifetime or two and then expand on all of man kinds accomplishments.... the possibilities are limitless. it would mainly just suck because it would be INCREDIBLY lonely

it depends. are we talking about eternal life on earth and nobody else has it, or eternal life and everybody else has it, or eternal life in some different dimension like place by yourself, or eternal life in some different dimension like place with other people.

i just assumed by seltzers quote he meant like eternal life on earth with everyone else being mortal.

If Eternal Life is defined as living Forever, and Forever is defined as living through all time, then disregarding the possibility of an afterlife, then everyone lives forever.

BECAUSE, if you think about it, relative to your life, all time is the time from when you are first conscious to when you die, as after that, nothing happens relative to you. Time, for you, is over, as it were.

If there is an afterlife, you either go there forever, or you get reincarnated and do it all again in an endless cycle, both of which cases imply eternity.

so, I guess you could say that everyone has Eternal Life :P



But seriously, I wouldn't like to live forever, especially if noone else did. It would just be so, so lonely watching everyone you knew and loved die...
