It doesn't just affect decisions you make, but also all things around you. Decisions others make and events that happen. Everything is acting on probability, you just only exist in the universes where.. well.. you exist.

The shitty thing is in this scenario you don't get to choose the option to be immortal or not, you just are. You get as much choice in the matter as how much choice you have in being born, that is to say, none.

I suspect some kind of brain uploading or simulating will be created in ones lifetime. Its likely in order to be this kind of immortal you would only be able to exist near or around the invention of brain uploads or simulations.

Any other time you would not be born, or experience existence.

I got tired of constantly gaslighting myself about the nature of reality and decided to call it's bluff. Its exhausting having the same thoughts over and over again and constantly questioning them.

It did bring me some solace, but also changed a lot of things. Knowing you're immortal makes your perspective on life change completely. I don't know how to explain it.

After that I began planning on the homeless thing mentioned above. I'm probably one on of the very few if only people to have ever gone from a 40$ hour job to actively planning to become homeless haha.

You don't understand tho, the thought of being homeless is so exhilarating, imagine being trapped your whole life and planning your escape. Thinking about it and planning for it has been some of the happiest moments in recent memory.

I don't think people in comas have a good chance of survivability. There's all kinds of stuff that can kill you in a coma. Bed sores, pneumonia, infection, bleeding, so many things.

Sick! Thank you for the recommendation friend!

You had me laughing pretty hard at the "worst life imaginable part." Sometimes it feels like that.

Although you got to remember that if one's life gets too bad, then they're more likely to be depressed and off themselves.

So they would get some semblance of enjoyability out of life.

Well, you're right about some things. I do barely ever go outside. But as with the knives and other things, I think you have to take into account the probability of one not doing those things versus the probability of one dying from them.

The probability of me never using a knife is very unlikely. If it's more unlikely for me to never use a knife and thus not slice myself, then it is unlikely that I would use one. I'll use one.

I've tried slicing my neck. I just end up fainting.

In my time studying this, I have figured one thing out though. It's easier to choose not to do something and have the outcome happen than the other way around.

For example: Say I want the world to become a better place that's friendlier to homeless people( Really, what I mean is more friendly to the most vulnerable among us.). (More Communist/Anarchist hopefully)

So what I did is I decided that I'm never going to get a job after my current one Unless it's a communist or anarchist one.

What I've found is that it's more likely for the whole world to change, to warp itself around, keeping me alive. Then for me to just randomly have all my muscles spasm in a way to make and submit a resume to apply for a job, and then continue to go to that job.(Essentially it's more likely for the world to change than for the million monkeys to type out Shakespeare.) In theory, eventually this would make the world a better place. If I'm immortal and I become the most vulnerable among us, then the world would have to make the survivability of being the most vulnerable among us greater.

Anyways, I'm just wondering what other people might do, or if there's other things people can think of that might be more efficient.

"after finding it stored in an unsecured Elasticsearch database hosted on a Baidu server.

This doesn’t indicate any involvement from either company — all kinds of organizations store their data with these providers.

There’s no indication of who, exactly, built the dataset, but records show that the data is recent, with its latest entries dating from December 2024."... Hmmmm

What does age have to do with anything? Everyone deserves all of their body parts to be healthy not just "Non-Luxury" ones.
