Mind boggling how stupid people in general are. Imagine thinking the same shit wont happen.

It takes a bit to become aware of it, but you get there eventually. I assume a version of everyone figures it out eventually.

I'm currently living in the "hell" as you say, although its not all bad. If you ever get too anxious about it or depressed to the point it would negatively affect your outcomes you will quickly find yourself without anxiety, depression comes and goes.

I don't know what to do other than my own plans.. Really what sucks the most is the loneliness in the knowledge of this reality. It's extremely isolating. Recently I've been in and out of what I can only describe as a form of insanity.

Imagine knowing you couldn't die and you are stuck under capitalism, all of a sudden the things capitalism uses to keep you in line lose their power over you. Well at least in spirit anyways. Its still extremely hard to even quit your job because I guess there aren't enough timelines/probability yet where you survive off the grid outside of capitalism.

You try to say the words "I quit" to your boss but nothing comes out, or you are too scared, or you rationalize why you didn't say it, etc.

Every day I plan to and try to leave capitalism. Every time I try I stay on a path that will lead the world to be more friendly to the "least" of us.

Anyways I don't know where else to talk about this stuff so I made this post. Thanks for listening.

I was kind of hoping it would be this story about this guy that is trapped living forever unable to die. His mind is uploaded and then used for thousands of years. Always the one that goes on risky missions. All his memories are synced and he remembers every death.

It would be this kind of story about how this guy copes with his reality goes through all kinds of emotions starting with excitement then depression and nihilism and then ends where he embraces a form of insanity and absurdism.

Instead it was just a narrative about trump in space.

Why would I need to... No I don't plan on trying again for that specific reason.. Sometimes when things are bad enough or I'm pissed enough I try but nothing ever ends up coming of it.

Death is a mistress I will never know. Suicide was so 5-10 years ago, eventually you just kind of move on from it.

If you wanted to be tied forever to capitalism then yeah making a lot of money would let you live with it forever. Your survival becomes linked to lots of money meaning something. Careful what you wish for though.

Not an option unfortunately... Immortal is immortal :(

[–] crazyminner@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

Well all possibilities are possible, so you get a sense of choice even though any choices that would lead to your death are unseen to you or simple not taken.

I've found the futher ahead you plan the more likely something is to happen so there is still a little choice. I've never been able to plan any of these suicide boxes that other people have mentioned tho..(not in any real sense anyways.)

The questions wasn't if it was a bad deal, you are already immortal. I was just trying to get some ideas on what could be done to make ones life better given these parameters.

Yes, you will do as little socializing as possible. Just enough socializing to prevent extreme depression and thus unaliving.

You'll cook your own food because ordering out all the time isn't healthy.

Diseases aren't necessarily something that it negates. For example, if you get COVID and it makes you dumber, that's a plus because then now you're easier to manipulate because you can't plan ahead as far. versions of you that could plan ahead farther might be more likely to make decisions that would go against your odds of surviving in any given scenario.

You'd be surprised what things you might think are safe actually end up not being safe at all.

 

There are some caveats though. You are immortal but what this actually means is that you are unable to do anything that would probabilistically lead to your death.

So, for example, if you were more probable to die getting into a car than walking, you would choose to walk. But only if choosing to walk was more probable than the probability of you surviving after getting into a car.

It's kind of confusing, but essentially You have no choice if something is about to kill you, but if you plan far enough ahead, the probability of you choosing to do or not to do something versus the probability of your survivability can potentially win out.

So given this version of immortality, what would you plan to do to benefit yourself in some way?

I've already thought about potentially hooking up some kind of lottery Number machine to a guillotine in order to win the lottery but it turns out that the probability of you not making this machine is more likely than making the machine and surviving so you just never end up making the machine.

In order to get an idea of where I'm coming from, here's a video that explains a bit aboabout quantum immortality. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTZZUjnrbF8
