So I guess I would change mine to the world being a much better place for everyone, and invoke the golden age.

I think it would be the same even if it meant certain oblivion, I would honestly give my life if I knew it could happen. I'm sure many others would do the same.

what is that public manipulation?
"I think it would be the same even if it meant certain oblivion, I would honestly give my life if I knew it could happen. I'm sure many others would do the same."
I'm with you here, not sure if I would have always supported something as selfless as this but currently id hop right into a volcano to create world peace... though it may not be entirely selfless for me... sounds like an easy way out, and in this context id take it in a heart beat :p
What if it was a death more along the lines of supposed jesus in exchange for world peace(id have to barter for a thriving biosphere too:P) and permanent termination? Tough one there.... hard to say hypothetically. I think I would need some time to meditate on that one

This, is probably what I would want for a last request too... And to at the very least, have peace and comfort in my heart if there was nothing for myself after life as a human.
There are many people in my life who I already I am curious about where they went and how their lives ended up. Especially the girls, as they have a way of staying out of your lives after shit is done, no matter the circumstances... 
I've never fallen out of love with a girl I've loved, as that love was mine anyways. I guess I just hope for the best, but at the least, I would love to hug everyone I cared about and convey to them how grateful I am for their influence and sharing of life they had with me... It means more than we can realize without it being directly threatened.

I'll take the Mega List of Your Life please. A list of everything you've ever done, everyone you've ever met, random activities and facts and accumulated times. Such as time spent pooping, being paid for pooping, time spent laughing, blinking, etc. Whatever you want to know about your time spent on the planet it is accumulated in the great list that is presented for you at infinite browsing-time on your way out.
That or to successfully be made into a cyborg and installed into a spaceship that can fly around the universe until running out of fuel.

But think of the sights you could see! 
Yeah, otherwise yours would be really nice assuming you've actually had a positive influence and it doesn't get all Christmas Future on your ass.

I don't care if good or bad that much. I just want to know. I assume much of it was not as good as I tell myself.

No probably not, but you're not alone on that boat. Personally I'm not so sure I'd quite like the taste of omniscience, it's a gamble on the human heart and I'm not sure I want to be let down that hard. You'd see it all, and maybe in the end you'd rather not of.

thinking more on that.... I think I would have to meditate to the point of pain no longer effecting me personally/emotionally. If I were to find out that rebirth and karma are real, then id change all of that and just let it play out as it will... the end result would be the same I guess... maybe no golden age but people will find their own freedom at their own time. If the grand scheme is deliberate and with purpose then may as well let it do what its doin. I'll keep my selfish requests then :p

true one pliable squishy manipulating universe. Self-manipulation galore. Probably public manipulation galore... who's to judge though.
