The Paradox of Immortality

Living forever would actually be a total nightmare. Philosophers call this the Immortality

Dilemma. Basically, if you never died, you would eventually run out of goals

and get so bored that you’d lose your entire personality. But on the flip side,

death is only bad because of FOMO. It’s called the Deprivation Account. You don’t feel pain

when you’re dead, you just miss out on the good stuff you could have had. So we are stuck

in this weird middle ground. We’re terrified of missing out, but eternity would

ruin us. Turns out, the fact that your life has a deadline is the only thing

that makes it matter.
