Kids in the year 3000 watching this after uploading their consciousness into supercomputers: I'm about to end this man's whole career

This is maybe the wisest 90 seconds anywhere on Youtube, and it is INSANE that it only has 18K views as I type this.

I mean if you live forever (from a beginning point), you got time to do what you want to accomplish. You will never die. Happiness, purpose, and love is not fulfilled in just a glorified moment. Those aspects of living is not meant to be enjoyed for just a blink. It would be absurd to have purpose with a time limit. Purpose is forever and forever is beautiful.

The only problem about life is that it is too short. If we think of the time like something that never stops and we can hardly live a hundred years. However the matter and energy that we can find whithin us have been around since the beginning of time. The only thing that it is not eternal in us is our thoughts that make us who we are.

I wouldn't wanna live more than 100 years

[comforth]

I don't think I'm afraid to die. I'm afraid of dying a horrible death.

Living forever generally means immortality, and what this video discusses is no exception! To answer any question about being immortal, I would say, “No! Certainly not!” Why not? Because only so many things can happen to a person, and everything would seem like the same old idea for whatever after a while. In other words, someone dies when God knows that enough has happened to him/her/them in this world!

i wanna live eternally, for single selfish purpose.

To find out how humanity ends. the very last second of it.

[terraincognita]

I literally couldn't even fathom the hell that living forever would be. FOREVER. Till the end of time. That would be literally horrible. Are there actually people that want to live forever? Like seriously lol

[RennyLu]

I think "Living Forever" could also mean "Witness all of your love ones die and be lonely until the end of time"

[SomeoneTOT]

I don’t wanna live forever cause iam already exhausted like I won’t to die today before tomorrow I know that beyond the life there’s a place that all of us will live in it forever and I’m sure that it won’t be exhausted living there iam afraid from one thing.. do I deserve to go there do I done all I can do in my life do I done things that I’ve been created for yah that’s what I’m thinking i am trying to not lose my way but all of things in life keep interrupting me that’s the most exhausting thing keep losing the way and keep looking for it again and again and again.😪

What is the meaning of the afterlife if there is no after afterlife.

[nrcantares]

It's very simple, in order to be immortal or in other words eternal life, reality would have to comply with other laws

[SimoExMachina]

If you lived forever, what would do you once the universe collapsed. How would you survive that? And if you did, what would your existence be like? And even if the universe and our world was also infinite and lasted forever, could you handle the psychological stress and boredom from being alive forever?

[mazaspingvinas]

I would like to talk to Neil, I feel like we all, as humans have different perspectives on life, for some, like me, it’s hard to live knowing that we are dying, for him it’s a chance to do something before you go. Fear is ruling my mind, which is very sad

“Misery doesn’t give happiness meaning. happiness is meaning itself.
If you tortured people to make them better appreciate the pleasures of life you’d be a monster, just like this guy[death].”

[hey.]

This song is driving me crazy @ 0:10 what's the name of it?

[davlid]

The best "yes " ever. Don't even think for a Second. Life anytime 😊 over death.!!

[universale]

I think mankind's only purpose for living is trying to find a way to live forever. The strangest thing is that mankind has been around for over 200, 000 years and haven't realized that they have only one purpose and that is to find a cure for death.

[donalain]

i always used to compare life with gold.. it is valuable because it is rare . if there would be an endless suply of gold, it wouldnt have any value anymore. its death that makes life valuable.
