    Immortality is kind of the holy grail to me. There is nothing I find more joy in than just seeing history unfold and witnessing the path humanity is taking. I would hate for death to prevent me from seeing that.
    On the mental health problems a immortal human would probably face I honestly think its a bit of a weak mindset. Yes it would be a big struggle. But I wouldnt overestimate the power the brain and weird thoughts have on you. After all you have eternity to come to terms with it. Unless it literally drives you into suicide I reckon that eventually you would find your place in your immortal life and start enjoying it a ton.

    It's really interesting that mythology is explainable by psychology, and Vice Versa (Jungian theory of Mythology). From stories of cosmic genesis, to God/gods crafting us in his/their image, to our struggles in our humble beginnings, to our hopes and aspirations for humanity's future, and to the Eschaton (the end of humanity's world), if there even is an end.
    Mythology says a lot about humanity's collective psychology, who we are, where we come from, and how our perspective is formed.

    I see his ending as an attempt to counter the "smallness" effect that we often get when thinking about the universe by presenting us with information that allows us to relate to the universe not as an insignificant being but as a significant one.
    Would I want to live forever? In the distant future, human beings will have evolved into a totally different species than we are today. I would probably find them so incompatibly different that I would not want to live long enough to be the only one left of my kind surrounded by nothing but these "beings" so different than myself that I am lonely among many, who would see me as primitive and repulsive. But maybe a few hundred years would be fun as long as I can remain healthy and "young" enough to enjoy it. You know, on second thought, for all the magnificent things that I could witness, there will be monumentally horrific things (there is a savage side to humanity and to nature) that I would witness or have to live through. So, maybe not. I have lived through some great stuff already.

      division by 10 can be done by most with very little effort. first block 1993 then one every 10 years means every year that ends in a 3 gets a block. this was uploaded in 2023 so it got a block. this year does not get a block. everybody should be able to figure that out instantly.

    Definitely into mythology although I tend to gravitate towards Nordic and Celtic mythologies more than Greek and Roman. Thanks for the great channel.

    I remember reading, several years back, that even if death from old age, disease, or other internal sources was completely eliminated, that average human lifespan would only be about 1,500 years, simply due to the law of averages catching up with us, and our having a fatal accident of some kind.
    So in the end, I don't think even having our consciousness transferred into a new body, or even a computer, has a chance of making us "immortal".
    ...especially since the entire universe is likely going to come to an end eventually.Oh, and yes, I very much like studying old myths and legends. Especially the Germanic ones, since my paternal grandparents were German.

    I'm definitely into mythology, Mainly Greek, also bits of Roman and Norse, it's fascinating to me. Seeing the way that those societies made sense of the world by giving a name to things like lightning, the oceans, mountains etc. How they turned quite normal and natural things (for us modern folk anyway) into gods is really interesting and the different relationships between them. You really do get a sense of how they'd sit around a fire and teach their children those myths to explain how the planet and everything in it (from hills to emotions to weather) formed. I obviously don't believe in the myths myself, but I find the idea of it really intriguing. Much more than just having one God of everything, I think the individual gods with their own responsbilities and personalities and stories and relationships with one another paints a great picture.
    Also I'm sure I've heard about Mt Rushmore surviving that long and it throws up an interesting question. Say a future civilisation of whatever we become in that time or even aliens arrive here, millions of years from now and they discover Mt Rushmore. There's no internet, no surviving books, no cities, simply no trace we were ever here, will they assume they were our gods, like with mythology? When every piece of evidence of our existence is gone except a big depiction of four faces without any name or record of why, what will they think?

    I have this book on mythology ranging from all Over the world and just find it fascinating how the human understanding of our world has changed over the years. Though I'm still perplexed and still finding out what inspired scary stories and myths in the African region.

    I already know about the Milky Way hurtling towards the Andromeda Galaxy but now I wonder if we're moving towards AG or AG is moving towards us. Maybe both.

    As a librarian from Argentina i'm into any knowledge. "Homo sum, humani nihil a me alienum puto" as romans said. So, yeah, I dig mithology, not just the greek one. I find your literary recomendations usefull and on point, having read many of those books myself. I would love to have a friend like you, madam. Good job!

    This may seem an unusual source, but the Anne Rice “Vampire Chronicles” present a very interesting take on immortality. A fun movie that deals with the subject is “Highlander,” starring Sean Connery, Christopher Lambert and Clancy Brown. It’s got a great soundtrack by Queen!

    if given the chance to live "forever" i would absolutely take it.
    but given we know our universe is destined to end somehow, my interest in being alive that long is purely to see what that end looks like. I am completely aware that involves an absurdly long period of time in complete darkness but i would literally wait it out just to see what the universe would look like.
    and if somehow something crazy happened like a new big bang or something id be satisfied enough to accept death. so i wouldnt want to actually live infinitely just as long as the universe itself

    Possible literary recommendation: Freedom or death, by Nikos Kazantzakis :)
    I have to read it again myself, because I read it 15 years ago, but what I remember from it, is that it took away some of the fear of death from me at that time
