Ok this was inspired by that death thread and a random comment I came across on the interwebz.

Basically you are faced with a decision with only two possible outcomes; there is no getting out of it what so ever. You can choose either to die right this instant or to live for all eternity, please note that living for all eternity includes even after the universe has ended, basically your conscious will continue in nothingness.

You cannot kill yourself if you choose to live forever, you also cannot be maimed or whatever (i.e if you get decapitated you wont be living as a head) and you do not age (unless your kid then you'll age to like 21 or something)

What do you choose?

Then my answer is live forever. There'd be a lot you could learn with infinite time. Sure, it might get boring, but eventually the depths of boring would get interesting. And then you wouldn't be bored anymore for awhile.

Every second of present is your past's future being experienced now, though.

So basically what your saying is once you lose your mind/go insane, everything will seem fine.. Man what a great conclusion to decide your choice.

Sounds interesting. And I have enough mental fortitude to last at least 1,000 years before the first bout of insanity. The only thing that would suck is if the planet out and out died, or if I somehow got trapped in a room/casket forever. That would suck. Though, since you have forever to deal with it, I imagine you'd get out, eventually.

I feel like I could handle it. Obviously, I could go insane tomorrow, but I don't think that is very likely.

So you would be able to handle every one you know, love to watch them dwindle and die as you live forever? You can not make that claim when you most likely not even lived half of your life.

You cannot kill yourself, you must continue on living for all eternity (even after the universe has been destroyed).

Live for ever, of course, as far as I know, if I were to die I would just live for ever in heaven/hell anyway, but I don't think heaven has Metal, and hell would just suck:o

Universe destroyed? So I'd be all by myself in a a large, endless void of nothingness? Hmmmm...I'd have my privacy, I guess that's always a plus. :|

*shrug* It certainly would be *more* insane to die now because of a threat of not being able to handle living forever. Anyway, I'm watching grandparents die on a fairly regular basis.

Grandparents? How bout your closest friends? Your Parents? Your possible loves? That is something every one has trouble dealing in life.. Now it will be a common occurence through out your existence.. Thats inless you take a hermit like approach and sequester your self.. The average person probably after a time would not get close to any one due to that fact.

I wouldn't be surprised if everyone I love dies before me anyway. Seems like the kind of joke life would like to play on me. Except perhaps kids. That would not be funny at all >_> I would say not being able to grow old with loved ones would be FAR more alienating than having to deal with their eventual deaths.

I'd live forever. And when everything been done and dusted, i'll go insane in the void of nothingness. I'll be mad as a hatter, but I wouldn't suffer. I'll have a googleplex worth of memories; the rise and fall of humanity, to reflect on. Anyway, how could you get bored of life?

Doesn't really matter. If I die now, I go to heaven. If I live forever, I'll live up into the apocalypse, then God will destroy the earth and make a new earth that will never die and it'll end up being the same thing...

Live forever... All you people picking die right now are full of absolute horse crap, or have serious issues. raven_squad

Anyone who chooses live forever would eventually completely lose his mind and go insane... so die now is actually the smart call...

I mean, lets say someone throws you to the bottom of the ocean in chains and you cant die, you'd spent eternity without being able to move or do anything, thats a risk i would never take.

Well... if my Christian faith is true then I'd go with die now as I'd live eternally with God in heaven. If I chose to live forever does that mean I never go to heaven? If so then I choose to die now.

i only hope you get some way of propulsion in space. it would suck bing stuck in space unable to get yourself to the nearest planet. i would choose to live forever, as the universe will never "end" and become nothing. there will always be something to explore. if there was one power i could have, it would defnintely be teleportation so i dont get permanently stuck anywhere

and i would totally embed myself in a black hole lol

Die right now, thats assuming there is an afterlife or reincarnation

if there is no afterlife, well...idunno. Living even beyond the end of the universe seems a little drastic, though I suppose you could train yourself to hibernate, not to mention the likelihood that eventually, after billions of years, another universe would happen.

Hmmmm if the universe was cyclic in nature (i.e. it kept recreating itself out of nothingness....or God does, whatever, so long as it gets recreated) then I would choose to live forever.
