Honestly, looking at modern 90 and 100 year olds, who would want to live like that? But if I can be as vital as even say a healthy 50 year old (healthy 30 year old even better), then bring on the centuries! As many as you can give.
It’s always important to ask your genie not for eternal life, but for eternal youth and vitality.
- dagw 8y agoI'd still want to have an off switch. Eternity is very long time and I'm afraid I'd get bored less than half way there.
- Swizec 8y agoAh mind you I didn’t say undamageable. Gotta be able to die from injury because surviving the heat deatj of the universe, while fascinating, sounds kinda terrible. Basically you want to avoid aging, not death. Imagine being immortal, but not infinitely healable, and someone chops you up into pieces. Not fun. Can’t even imagine the pain and you’d have to endure it for quite a while. I have spent too much of ky youth working out details or such potential asks. Never know when you gonna meet a wish granting genie
- spiralx 8y agoI seem to recall that someone worked out that even for somebody who never aged, the cumulative risk of suffering a fatal accident of some kind meant that life expectancy would actually only be about 400 years or so. Unlikely events become more likely over the centuries :)
