I intend to stay. But if not the US, Ireland seems decent, especially the weather.

What is one of your favorite novels?

Gravity

What is your favorite film?

Defiance; Hannibal Rising

 

[Mrs.Lucysnow]

Have you seen all the Hannibal Lector films? If so why do you prefer rising?

(I was disappointed with Rising and prefer the last Hannibal)

What do you hope to achieve in your life apart from marriage and having your own store? Are there any other goals (outside of transhumanism) you absolutely must do before you die?

Are you afraid of death?

Some say life is suffering. How do you find it so far?

 

[Norsefire]

Have you seen all the Hannibal Lector films? If so why do you prefer rising?

The character, the young Hannibal, developed very well. And the movie has decent acting and cinematography

What do you hope to achieve in your life apart from marriage and having your own store? Are there any other goals (outside of transhumanism) you absolutely must do before you die?

I hope to have an effect on the world. Maybe write a book. Someday.

Are you afraid of death?

Yes

Some say life is suffering. How do you find it so far?

Decent

 

[Mrs.Lucysnow]

'Decent' Very diplomatic.

What about death frightens you?

Also what are your outstanding characteristics good and bad? What is it that the people in your life have to say about your character?

 

[Norsefire]

What about death frightens you?

I'm not afraid of dying, but of what might come after. I'm most afraid of the prospect that there is nothing.

Also what are your outstanding characteristics good and bad? What is it that the people in your life have to say about your character?

I'm honest, I am hard working, I'm dependable, I'm very respectful toward others. I'm usually very lenient as well.

Bad: sometimes I take things too seriously and don't lighten up.

 

[Mrs.Lucysnow]

"I'm not afraid of dying, but of what might come after. I'm most afraid of the prospect that there is nothing."

:jawdrop:

Wow. You've shocked me again. The prospect of nothing? I thought when you had given up religion that you would have given up the prospect of an afterlife.

Do you hold any 'spiritual' beliefs?

What is so disturbing about nothingness? I mean its without sensation, emotion and awareness.

 

[Norsefire]

Wow. You've shocked me again. The prospect of nothing? I thought when you had given up religion that you would have given up the prospect of an afterlife.

I don't believe in one, but that doesn't mean I don't want one.

Do you hold any 'spiritual' beliefs?

No

What is so disturbing about nothingness? I mean its without sensation, emotion and awareness.

Yes, that is frightening; I mean, when I'm dead I won't care, because I can't care, but nothingness is still nothingness.

 

[Mrs.Lucysnow]

Interesting. I would have thought it a relief.

Do you think there could ever be a time in your life when you might return to your former religion or perhaps adhere to another?

What kind of an afterlife would you hope for?

 

[Norsefire]

Do you think there could ever be a time in your life when you might return to your former religion or perhaps adhere to another?

Honestly, no

What kind of an afterlife would you hope for?

Paradise

 

[Mrs.Lucysnow]

Given the chance to leave earth never to return and explore space without any guarantee of what you might find there would you go? This means leaving family and all other sources of familiarity.

 

[Norsefire]

It depends on how efficiently I would be able to explore space. With FTL travel and a decent ship, yes! Though I'd be homesick most probably

 

[Mrs.Lucysnow]

If you could take one other human being with you who would it be and why?

 

[Norsefire]

If you could take one other human being with you who would it be and why?

My closest friend, or my partner

 

[Mrs.Lucysnow]

I think your girlfriend/partner would come in more handy.

 

[Mrs.Lucysnow]

Why do you prefer the U.S as a place to live?

You say that you are no longer for capitalism does this mean you are beginning to see some benefits to a socialist agenda?

The transhumanist utopia you envision will not be available to you in your life time, does this being the case does it alter how you look at the life you have to live? I am assuming that you wouldn't think much about the life you live under a transhumanist society as there would be no point on pondering life if its eternal.

 

[scifes]

what's the wackiest, most dangerous or most unreasonable thing you did?

sports?

what car do you drive?

are you very popular/very social in real life?

 

[Norsefire]

Why do you prefer the U.S as a place to live?

Lots of people, very busy

Lots of morons too, but that's everywhere

You say that you are no longer for capitalism does this mean you are beginning to see some benefits to a socialist agenda?

No I'm for capitalism but I don't see it as practical enough

The transhumanist utopia you envision will not be available to you in your life time, does this being the case does it alter how you look at the life you have to live? I am assuming that you wouldn't think much about the life you live under a transhumanist society as there would be no point on pondering life if its eternal.

Hmm well I just wanna live and be happy. Hopefully technology comes around faster than we expect.

what's the wackiest, most dangerous or most unreasonable thing you did?

Can't remember; go trick or treating? At my age...well I went with friends

sports?

Soccer. I love it.

what car do you drive?

camry but i don't drive that much

are you very popular/very social in real life?

I'm "social" in that I like to have fun with others and hang out........but if you mean if I have a billion friends, no

 

[Liebling]

Yes, that is frightening; I mean, when I'm dead I won't care, because I can't care, but nothingness is still nothingness.

Interesting. I would have thought it a relief.

There's a fundamental difference. I agree with Norse. Now, it may well be that if I live long enough to be old, sick, and in constant pain I might see death as a relief. But even then, if I had the choice of death or having my health and youth restored I'd choose life in a second.
