That's why Djinn are not considered to be benevolent spirits.

immortal is not all it's cracked up to be.


You could just jump. If your immortal, you'll get there eventually. And you could "swim" against the insterstellar hydrogen

If I were immortal and didn't want to live any more I'd jump into a black hole

That way the universe would end in (very) finite proper time.

I'm not a utilitarian, and I'm not going to commit murder/rape/whatever atrocity in an ends-justifies-the-means mentality.

You wouldn't have a very finite time of it though...

a black hole wouldn't kill you either.

and that would be cool. I'd love to see what it looks like in a black hole. Though there is no light, and nothing to see

I didn't say it would. But as you approach the schwarzchild radius the time you experience goes to zero relative to an observer at infinity.

You never reach the schwarzchild radius. A short amount of time passes for you; an infinite amount of time passes for all outside observers. That way the rest of your life is only five minutes long if you take a plunge into the black hole. You never die, but you only experience a finite amount of time.

Space, I think immortality would be boring as hell after the first few thousand years


Nah, maybe after a million after the sun dies and the earth is super heated it would suck, but then you would have all the time in the world to meditate.

Eventualy, after a few billion years life would reappear, and then a few billion years after that perhaps a new form of intelligent life. Or maybe you would have to wait for the next few cycles to run before anything better than a plant appeared. Or maybe humanity will find a way to stop the sun from decaying, or create a new sun, who knows? If you live forever you will know!

Also it pretty much goes without saying that when you are immortal you feel pain and can lose limbs, get burns, etc. They just heal themselves back to normal after a day or two. After the first few atomic blasts you experience the random bullet to the face or stubbed toe wouldnt feel so bad.

black holes suck

Maybe I would become like a god and seal all of those damned things off. Or at least post warning signs.

Bah.

Tass is right, omnipotence beats that hands down. With omnipotence, you can make yourself immortal. Then when you get bored, you remove the immortality.
