I'm fond of my loved ones, but I also like creating new ones. I also would like to see very long term plans come to fruition. It seems very much like a "640K ought to be enough for anybody" problem.
Works of art that require thousands of lifetimes to complete. Deep understanding of the physical world. Exploring the universe. Much more.
- the_af 5y agoI get what you mean, but I don't think the human mind can contemplate things that take thousands of years to unfold; it's just not wired for that. Even things that take years are difficult for us to comprehend. Re: creating new beings. How long till you also get bored of that? Remember we're talking about quadrillions of years. An additional thing to consider: if you could live quadrillions of years and still be able to perceive things that take thousands or millions of years to unfold, wouldn't you subjectively be living the lifespan of a normal human being? That is, your life wouldn't feel long to your mind, but normal (your mind would have to adjust to run more slowly). Wouldn't then regret your "short" lifespan and wish you could live longer?
