Ok, so you are assuming that you would be immortal and free to pursue intellectual endeavors forever. This implies that all of your problems would be solved.
You would be forever chasing the dopamine hit of understanding more of the fields that interest you. Or you could just shoot heroin. Without mortality or problems to confront, all meaning would be lost. Math, heroin, sex, all the same. Consider the dissolution of meaning, and the fact that infinity is a very very long time.

- D-Coder 7y ago"Live forever" here, I think, mostly means "Live indefinitely" — NOT "Live until the heat-death of the universe." And if you get bored after 500 years, you can always opt out. I'd like to have the choice to see if I do like it.
