What's wrong with a lack of mystery?

Solitaire1 · 10-15-2020, 11:54 AM

What if you foresee the end of your life, with the knowledge that there's nothing you can do to avoid it?

drjd · 10-16-2020, 06:39 AM

Isn't the end inevitable, however?

Is immortality possible?

Solitaire1 · 10-16-2020, 08:38 AM

Wouldn't that depend on what type of immortality it is? What if you are immortal but you still age?

Have you been fobbed off with a no frills immortality package?

Solitaire1 · 10-16-2020, 11:18 AM

Don't many stories show the downsides of immortality (such as "The Escape Clause" in The Twilight Zone)?

Wouldn't you be prepared to give it a go?

What if I end up in the same state as Professor Ivo*?

*He took a potion that made him immortal and indestructible but he discovered to his horror that he was becoming more and more immobile, and he'd end up a living statue. In an attempt to die he gets himself hit with full-power energy blasts from seven androids that had Superman-level power. It did nothing to him.

Is Professor Ivo fictional?

Solitaire1 · 10-16-2020, 02:38 PM

Isn't Professor Ivo a fictional character who has taken on the Justice League Of America a number of times with his android Amazo?

Why do questions often lead to talking about fiction?

Do the cats have nine lives?

pdurrant · 10-17-2020, 06:32 AM

Don't all cats have nine lives?

drjd · 10-17-2020, 06:36 AM

If all the cats have nine lives, why do they worry about immortality?
