I too believe in technology. I also believe in physics, human nature, and sound economic theories!
Also, I'm lying. You can bet your ass I'd get in a flying car. That's probably because I'm pretty stupid.
I would, too! Ya gotta die of something ... maybe, but even that may soon be in question. Too late for me though I'm afraid.
Holy fucking balls... I'd absolutely hate to have a huge lifespan. I don't want to live forever! Hell no... I'm not yet finding myself bored, but I imagine I would be eventually. Even more important, it'd be nice to get out of the way and let new ideas be tried out and let other folks have my resources.
Man, I dread living a long time. If I make it another decade, I'm pretty good with it. I've had a great life. I've done fun things. I've accomplished all my important goals. I've been everywhere I really wanted to go - except India and I plan on putting that in my schedule within the next couple of years.
And yes, this sentiment holds true even if I had an ideal body, didn't risk mental enfeeblement, or things like that. Though I do sort of worry that I'll lose my mental acuity. If that happens, it's time for this old man to go 'hunting on the ice floes' or something.
Absolutely agree. I've had a great life, too. Enjoyed it for the most part and successfully accomplished things I never dreamed as a boy I'd do. Like you, I'm happy and content to go onto life's next great mystery.
