Is living forever any better than staying dead?

I personally wouldn't want to live forever. I think if it happens, most people will realize they want to die after two or three hundred years told.

I'm not sure if itll be possible to live physically forever, but what if we are able to put our consciousness into a simulation? Like virtual reality. So many people would gladly do that if it meant they could have whatever life they want.

The issue is how you are viewing time.

Eternity is not a process but a state. It's beyond our comprehension because it is something we have never experienced in this form.

When we die and eventually leave this state, it will feel completely normal for us to return to our former selves, our eternal selves.

The issue is also the monotony of our lives. Eternity working a shitty job or shit posting on 4chan would indeed be hell. But this is hell, here we are.

Death is the escape of hell, either to be reincarnated or to ascend to a higher plane of existence.

I feel like people would be okay with living indefinitely.

Immortality's boons are portrayed as loneliness and the like when there's a single character that has it. If an entire country or sizable portion of the world were immortal, we'd have a sort of unspoken social contract to stick around for one another, I imagine.

Thanks for the response. I've come to realize both eternity and oblivion are equally incomprehensible.

Given the choice between being alive forever or dead forever I would pick alive forever. It may get monotonous at times, but at least you can do something rather than nothing.

As far as I can tell that´s exactly what happend and will continue to happen forever.

A species achieves immortality and omnipotence. Soon after they get bored and create a simulation to divert them from it.

The question is how deep this rabit hole is.

You do not want the burden of immortality, thankfully God alleviated that from us.

There's literally no answer that makes sense in the long term.
If we disappear eventually then everything you ever did was meaningless, and if you live forever no matter what it's also kinda meaningless.
It's pretty funny.

Look at Methuselah. Then think about always getting what you want. There was a Twilight Zone where a convict thinks he's in heaven. Until he realizes, always getting what you want, and nothing else, is pretty fucked. He's in hell.
