You've got me wrong. If life-extension works and becomes widely available, I too could live, forever*. It's just I'm not sure that I'd want to, even if I could

You've got me wrong. If life-extension works and becomes widely available, I too could live, forever*. It's just I'm not sure that I'd want to, even if I could. Wouldn't it be incredibly depressing to watch something like WWI and then live to see humans doing the same dumb stuff 100 years later? Would you really want to see Twitter when you had lived through Twain? Wouldn't it be really depressing to be a thousand years old and to have every person you ever knew dead? It's not someone having 1000 years and someone having 100 that depresses me; it surprises me that someone would want to live for 1000 years when some people don't get 1. I can't imagine living for decades having experienced stuff like Vegas multiple times. It seems crushing. Then again, I'm not 130, so who knows.
