Well, if that's the case, we'd best make sure the Ambrosia is plated in a current style. And the blood should probably be in some sort of gin cocktail.

The Anti-Targ Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 IMO people will eventually choose to die because of boredom. I give people 500 years before they realise life no longer holds any meaning for them. Some people might stretch it out to 1000 years, but that will not be the norm. And if you think time flies by when you're only in your 30s or 40s, imagine your perception of time when you're 500? When you are 500 1 day is just 0.0005% of your life, and a year is only 0.2% of your life. Those time periods will whizz by so fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean when you're 735, your suicide note just has to read, "Meh". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mance Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 All those tiny brained, no-webbed feet, non UV-impervious skin having immortals aren't going to be so smug after a million years of not evolving with the rest of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myshkin Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Stupidest. Question. Ever. Sounds like the premise of an awful and unnecessary movie. If immortals choose to self-segregate (mortals have no power to force our kind to do anything) they know they can always join me in the village of Glenfinnan on the shores of Loch Shiel.

Jen'ari Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 On 23 August 2016 at 3:50 PM, Weeping Sore said: Assuming technological/medical remedies to aging are eventually developed, should those who manage to avail themselves of immortality (barring accident or violence) go to a separate planet so as not to exacerbate tensions with the Samsarans*? *those still trapped in the cycle of birth and death Also, should the immortals have to learn Elvish and get pointy ear surgery? Who's to say they won't have pointy teeth and an aversion to sunlight instead?, still either group is elitist perhaps that comes with the territory.

Jaxom 1974 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 If it's immortality through nanotechnology technology, then a city on the moon...let's call it Selene...would be most appropriate. If it's just one person, I assume he'll simply rocket off into space until he settles on a secluded planet to built go go dress wearing female androids for companionship...
