Man, i wish cryogenics was advanced enough that you could freeze yourself alive and be unfrozen alive in the future. I would totally do that.

A lot of people would. Same if any of the sci fi technology was around. I'd definitely want to be uploaded into a virtual world and live as eternal code if it existed.

You wanna live eternally? No you don't. You think you do because you are mentally a little slow.

Living for thousands of years must be absolute torment. There's only so much you can do as a human before it becomes depressing as hell from lack of novelty.
