Ok so here is the thought:
If your life was infinite AND you knew that you would live infinitely long, would you experience more of your dreams (ie. walk the wall of china, climb everest, etc.)?
...I won't take your first answer. Just think about it for a minute.
Ok, now?
I say that the answer is NO. Why? Because you will find that as your life becomes longer, the value of what can be accomplished within it becomes less. Thus as you get closer and closer to infinite time, those activities/experiences have less and less value. Since we have a tendency to only do those activities that we see has having value, we will choose to do less and less activities. At the point that we understand our lives to be infinite, we will cease to perform any activity. Hell, I even go so far as to say that we will see to even do those activities that "sustain our lives" (although it won't matter since our lives will be infinitely long).
What the fuck do you think?
...thanks goes to Todd "the drywaller" Gremling for this one!
