The sentient lichen archaeologists are going to have so much fun in 10 million years.
This is why the whole "immortality is a curse" shit is cope. I'd fucking love to see evolution of life and (maybe) civilization over millions of years
Right? "Immortality is a curse" is the most skill issue idea. As long as your body held together relatively well I'd be thrilled to live forever. There's so much to do!
Until you get stuck somewhere
Skill issue tbh. Using my immortal wisdom of untold ages I would simply not get stuck
Eventually we all get stuck in the endless black abyss of the post heat death universe
eh sure but it's that or oblivion so why not?
i've never thought about it like that before and honestly its quite liberating
it's how i've always felt about immortality. sure it's a gamble, but at least it's a shot at something interesting happening
even if you have to wait for the next universe to be born or whatever
We've never been closer. If the sharks and jellyfish and crocodiles can do it, why shouldn't we?
Incidentally does anyone have a good news portal for research papers about this kind of thing? I'm trying to get up to date and inspired on the cellular regeneration/genetic manipulation fields. There's so much we can do and it's always been my dream to do it, and I think reading the real thing will really help me drag my adhd ass through school.
I've lived 10,000 human lifetimes, patiently lying in wait for the next sentient species to arise. Now I will go forth, mentor them, and poison their academic research forever by explaining that a bidet was for washing one's face.
The ultimate prank awaiting the ultimate prankster
