You've just been granted immortality and eternal youth. How do you live your life?

Question

1. I don't tell anyone my secret ever. Because they would just want to capture and study me.

2. I stockpile resources and make investments, so I will have a steady flow of passive income eventually. I will do some research and figure out what knowledge and skills I can develop that will make me really valuable in the workforce so I can make a lot of money no matter what. Then once I have a small empire maybe a bunch of real estate or something then I can relax a little bit and explore other learning like arts, painting, music, &c.

3. I will make a point to move every so often, I won't stay in the same place more than 5 years probably or maybe as much as 10 years. This will help maintain my anonymity. The resources I have I can pass on to myself, as I set up a new identity as my own child or relative, or even just create a sale from one identity to another.

4. Of course I will have relationships that are intimate and valuable to me, that will probably be the hardest thing to figure out how to deal with it. I don't really mind though, because I am not a very possessive person, when I love people, I can love them without having to be all up in their business and I can love without attachment. Being immortal will help me become more enlightened about love and being at peace, accepting things for how they are as life unfolds and those around me age and die.

5. Being immortal, I will have a lot of time to study and learn a lot of things. I will delve into many if not all the branches of human knowledge and seek to also master many physical skills such as dancing, martial arts, swimming and other sports. I think it will be important as an eternally youthful person to maintain a peak physical fitness anyway in order to keep my mind and body in top performance condition.

You've just been granted immortality and eternal youth. How do you live your life?

I would also be studying the sciences, history, languages, and other fields. Forever is a long time, and I like to keep busy. I would also make lots of time for leisure and enjoying the planet. I would like to start many charitable foundations once my wealth was flowing in order to improve conditions for humans.

Well, not much. Just live my life the way I do now. Just live in peace and by myself.

Yes, immortality and eternal youth would seem to great to me at first. However, I also have to see my parents, my family and everyone I know dying in front of me whereas I would continue to live one. Everything will constantly change in front of my eyes whereas I would remain the same and continue to live on.

I don't think I can take that for eternity. I am mentally strong but this is just way too much to ask for.

In comparison with this, if given a choice I would choose " complete invulnerability" because that would mean I would totally immune to any external and internal damage, leaving my body in a perfect unharmed condition and also that I would continue to age and die one day.

I'd probably be lazier tbh

the only thing keeping me motivated is that fact that my life and youth is finite, so i must leave some sort of mark on the world before i die. even then I hardly do my pet projects and haven't entirely figured out my path in life. so id my one motivation factor is gone. I likely would just stop caring about my own productivity and ideas. I['d think, I have all the time in the world, so I'll do it later.

on the other end, it would be interesting to see how the world changes and evolves. technology develops so much in a life time, it would be fascinating to see what people invent after several life times. would the iPhone eventually evolve into holograms. would self driving cars become commonplace. how would architecture change to accommodate the growing world population and global climate change

it would also be interesting to see the arts change. such as music trends, illustrative styles, film making, excreta. what stories would people tell and themes would adapt.

I don't know am someone who more observant and speculative so I'm be more interested in how the world changes over time than what I would do with the time

That sounds like absolute hell... living forever on this planet, oh god... I'd find away to kill myself. Maybe try jumping into a volcano, but with my luck I'd just burn in pain indefinitely.

I guess I'd travel the world, explore and probably eventually get bored... wouldn't want to work at a job forever either, so have to find a way to get money somehow to live.

The_Shadow_Dweller · Answer

Fake my death every 75 years, but setting up a new profile every 20 years before my supposed death. I need to be in the system to reap its benefits over the centuries.

Immortality is not enough if you just keep on procrastinating things. Get to work and live a regular life. This is the best. Living among people, changing locations etc.

But I think I may stop marrying women after the woman that I may truly love dies of old age.

After that, I fear, my life may just be like Dorian Gray. But not his evil part.

nolabels · Answer

I hope that it's not a magic-lamp genie granting those wishes.

Genie wishes always seem to have a way of backfiring on a person.

Immortality and eternal youth, but possibly destitute with some torturous incurable malady?

I'll say that my glass is half full as things are in the real world.

letuswaltzforthedead · Answer

So I'm forever young, in pretty much every way inculding appearance? I would probably be able to do more things without old age dragging me down. It will honestly be hard to keep motivation if you're never going to die but it's not impossible either.

Kaneki05 · Answer

Immortal in the sense I can't die at all? Or immortal in the sense of I can still die but just not by natural causes?
Because if I can't die at all time to test out all the way to die and also just go around committing crime that I can't possible have any repercussions from.
But if I can still die from something else I would just keep as I am now chilling in my room.

mjsbiggestfan1997 · Answer

If I can’t die, I wouldn’t be very happy about that 😂 Basic necessities cost too much and I got some mental health problems that make me not want to be alive anymore…but if I can still die, I’d just be living life how I am already. Nothing would really change 🤷🏻‍♀️

Heolurt · Answer

I would build a hidden fortress in a mountain somewhere and workout to a god status and just be hidden from society, living as the monster society sees me as. I'd grow my nails file them to a point and I'd stop shaving to look even more like a monster.

TallAnon · Answer

I start getting compound interest going and live out my life as normal until my children die.
Then I'll try and make as much money for a year or 50 and invest heavily in entertainment. Get in a position where I can influence the market to my liking. Then play games, read, watch, whatever they come up with until I get bored and attempt to ☠

call_me_scar · Answer

I'll start a cult and when I don't age in 50 years I'll gain a following and live comfortably dining on only the best whiskey and margoretas. After a while I'm sure I'll get political influence so I could help shape the world into a better place

TroyDT2 · Answer

In dread. Everyone I care about will die. Eventually the sun will burn out or the planet will get hit with an E. L. E. and I will be left alone, maybe floating in dark space alone with my thoughts. Basically Hell.
