It's not true immortality either way

Given a thousand years the chances of dying to an accident are actually pretty high

The downside with that I guess is that people would become (from our pov) irrationally risk averse

What would people do with their lives though

Work I guess

I assume what they do now

Kill themselves

Forever

The 180 year old Amazon wagie

I doubt people would kill themselves out of boredom

They are already doing it

If people lives longer that would probably make wealth inequality worse

There's so much stuff to learn and whatnot that you could pass well more than a millennium just reading stuff

@Mr. Nessel so much media to CONSOOM

Yeah sort of

all the shows you need to catch up on

Anyway this would also bring back Malthusian conditions

Old people actually commit suicide at a higher rate

Brainlets soon will be unable to earn enough to buy food

@EYEFORKNOWLEDGE156 Might be because their bodies are failing

Imagine a person obsessed with sports being unable to pursue it any longer

Being forced to sit in a retirement home

etc.

I don’t want to be on this rotating hell forever

You wouldn't be

Just look at the chance you have to die in a car crash every year you're alive

Then extrapolate

Unless you're highly risk averse eventually somethign will get you

I also doubt that most people who object now would refuse to die any give day

Even if they intend to eventually go from some philosophical abstract reason

I don’t want to live forever

Most of life is really mundane really

Yeah but would you ever kill yourself over it

Depends

Probably not though

If forced to live another thousand years or dying this moment what would you choose

Die

I would choose to live

Really you want another thousand years of work and school?

Definitely preferable over death

Besides I could save up
