If you could live 10,000 years, would you?

With no option of cutting it short once you commit.
Tatsumi · 31-35, M
It would depend on the parameters of my life. There's no option for it to be cut short, but could I be killed or die from disease? If the entire world exploded, would I still remain alive for the next 9,000 years suspended in space, all alone?

Wow that's a long time. Even recorded history isn't that long. Recorded history is only 5,000 years. Human instincts are only 20,000 years old, so in another 10,000 years, humans would probably change drastically.

I'd probably end up a guinea pig trapped in a lab getting sliced and poked and prodded if I wasn't careful. Yeah. Immortality without the ability to, like, teleport or have some way to counteract the humans which would systematically tear you apart to find out how you worked probably wouldn't be worth it.

With no option to cut it short, I'd have to decline. But it would be a tempting offer with certain parameters.

I wouldn't mind it if human life span was 1,000 years. That said. Scientists are treating aging like a disease. And if they find the cure for aging before I die, I wouldn't mind quasi-immortality and staying young forever.

Would be terribly interesting.. And painful

I feel like I've seen every kind of face there is...people are beginning to ALL look familiar to me...every new singer who comes on the scene...sounds like someone I have already heard...movies and tv are just regurgitated and tedious...I can see right through people now...no, there'd be nothing remotely new

It would depend upon the quality of life. I will assume that my physical health will be at a peak until the end. That amount of mature time would allow me to expand my knowledge in unimaginable ways. So yes I would.

Only if I have some kind of interesting superpower ,brainpower, or something.. just being alive for 10,000 years for the sake of it sounds awful
Rakbladsvalsen · 26-30, M
As long as I stayed as youthful as I am today sure. I'd take that deal in a second. I'd probably go mad but it would be worth it.

Isn't that what highlander was about anyways.. he complained that everyone he ever loved was gone.. he lived in a painful world

TBH,I would be more intrigued at what this world would be like or if it was still enhabited,but as for been around too actually see it,Na been that old my arthritis would be killing me👍
I presume you mean, in this body. Only if it were in good shape, which it's not. I would like to live longer if my quality of life were better.

If they can do something about the arthritis and spine issues, imagine the knowledge you would see unfold.
OldHippie · 61-69, M
No, wouldn't want to delay the next adventure that long. 100 is more than enough for anyone
Tminus6453 · M
Noooooooooooooooooooooo! 100 years will be too many if i make it that far
SW-User
it would become boring unless i become a serial killer
ravenwind43 · 51-55, F
Nope. Who wants to watch everyone they know die?
shaelan · 41-45, M

CharlieZ · 70-79, M
No. I would not enjoy longevity watching everyone I love die before me. 😔
basilfawlty89 · 31-35, M
Can my loved ones as well? If so in a heartbeat. If not, it wouldn't be worth it.
