It only took me about 30 years

It's only my optimism that keeps me in denial.  Although having "met" some people on this website has improved my outlook on the feasibility that there is some intelligent life on this planet.  But even here it's as rare as an imperial woodpecker.

But when you compare the conversations here to the ones at the local watering hole, you guys come across as geniuses!

An immortal life would be a truly lonely and miserable existence. The novelty of invulnerability and ageless life will soon wear off once everyone you care about dies and you don't age a day. You'll end up living through the worst years of humanity (which I believe are yet to come), and taking the risk out of life would cheapen it greatly, depriving oneself of having the beautiful realization that life is precious and to an extent, fragile. I choose to die and return to the flow of energy that permeates all things.

I think I would choose immortality first and then change my mind (after a few centuries probably) and die. suicide is always an option like it or not

LOL talk about having your cake & eating it, if you choose immortality, there is no death, if you cut your own throat you still live, thats kinda the point of the whol mortality or immortality lol.
