I wouldn't just kill myself for several reasons, but the two top ones are:
First, I am afraid of death.
Second, I am mortal and my death is a certainty, there is quite literally no point in rushing it.
So there you have one emotional instinctive reason and one logical one. And I have to agree with you suicide is moronic.
And perhaps 1000 years is not nearly enough time to become bored. But how about 1000 000 years? More?
My question was about the veeeeeeeeeeeeery long run, do you think you'll find life interesting for ever?
- khafra 18y agoFor that one, look away from The Last Question, and toward Galapagos, by Kurt Vonnegut. I think, as long as we're talking about finite time, life would have to be pretty incredibly bad to make me want to end it.
- alex_c 18y agoThe problem with death is that it's irreversible. If I'm bored today, I might still find something interesting tomorrow. If I'm dead today, I'll still be dead tomorrow.
- biohacker42 18y agoHow likely are you to find something new and interesting if you are a universe sized super intellect?
- sgibat 18y agoWhen you finally understand everything there is to know, if that is possible, then I think you will be so far gone from human that you will be impervious to boredom.
- steveplace 18y agoI'll think of something.
- alex_c 18y agoMore likely than I am to stop being dead.
