Clayton Posted September 18 Author Share Posted September 18 It is all about your point of view. Time fixes all problem and causes more. However since we'll always exist in some form or another, it doesn't really matter. We are going to be around forever. It doesn't matter if you like it or not. Physical immortality would have its perks and its downsides, especially depending on what kind you get. Eternal youth. Invulnerability. Regeneration. Undeath. Body snatching. Some will do anything to live forever. Others pray for death that never comes. 2 hours ago, Moxie said: Other than that, do you reckon there's any other positives to it?

No. Its only for those who are miserable and lacks what's essential. And because they don't have they seek prolonged life unconsciously longing for it.

The afterlife is typically seen as freedom from physical suffering and the everyday needs of our current life...I suppose that would look different for everyone On 9/19/2026 at 7:34 PM, animechat said: There are possible positive aspects to it.

To have the time to learn and see... everything. Including things you never imagined. To create and destroy. To change. To see the new. In the last few years alone we've found that the undersea world, through the right lens, ids a neon nightclub. We developed AI. They just proved auras are real. New species were discovered. A weird orange gremlin was elected president. To quote MIB, "Imagine what you'll know... tomorrow." Meanwhile in Hook they were all, "Death is the only great adventure."

Without that even if the watcher inside that cannot see itself is there there is no self. The watcher and the mind are separate and intellectuals thinks mind is self. The common thing between most institutional and intellectuals on each crowd, they are immature that only sees each other but no courage to prove mystic wrong Edited October 10 by Philippine Big Boar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i remember i already said before the watcher inside is the only thing aligned with the now. I also said "most " not "all" insist the watcher consciousness is an illusion despite the effect is there. But the way they insist is sounds Like something is tellng them. "Bro you are miserable, of course consciousness is not real!" as if afraid of any effect pointing towards rebirth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
