"...I've yet to even try suicide because its patently moronic..."
Alan Turing committed suicide, mostly thanks to the pressures put upon him by British society at the time... because he was gay. I sincerely doubt that Turing was a moron. There are many factors that lie well outside the realm of intelligence, that have a profound effect on whether or not people one day decide that they can no longer go on with their lives.
Boredom may very well be a motivating factor, especially for someone who can live as arbitrarily long as they wish.
- theoneill 18y agoI believe there is some debate about whether that was actually suicide.
