Leaving aside whether or not I think this is A Good Idea[1], I am fascinated by what other limits people would run up against, if this were possible. Memory, for example. Is it even possible to retain a first person memory for hundreds of years? Is there some upper limit above which you can no longer form new memories? Would it become much harder to motivate yourself, without the pressures of a limited existence. How would it affect our psyche?
[1] I do not.
- scotty79 2y ago> Memory, for example. Is it even possible to retain a first person memory for hundreds of years? It's not. But it's fine, because it's not even possible to retain memories of typical lifespan or even short one or even a decade or even a year. You lose way more than 90% of it and the rest gets largely altered anyways.
