While I do not live to play with myself , if there were no purpose in my life other than to play with myself, I'd be one contented guy. I'd willingly pursue this activity over say, three to four hundred years. Then you could come back and ask me about whether living forever would get boring. My answer would be, "Are you kidding! No way can I yet say I've lived forever. Come back and ask me in a few thousand years. Now stop interrupting my play. Thank you"
Is there anything you could do forever that wouln't get boring?

Under current outlooks, living forever would mean some kind of gene and stem cell therapy, immunizational stimulation/boosters, and it would hopefully mean a measure of youthful energy. I imagine people would wind up feeling like a 40 to 50 year old all the time, but as "forever" moves along, the therapy might improve to where people feel younger than that. In that type of living forever, it would mean constant activity and monitoring of diet, blood pressure, exercise, mental faculties. It would be kind of a challenge with a personal journal. It would also mean work to support oneself as the governments would figure out how to not allow any kind of retirement.
Still, knowing what I know now, I imagine our brains won't be able to remember everything. My mother learned to play the accordian when she was young and has virtually no clues as to what to do with one now. People who took high school Spanish and never used it forgot it. Just as some people can re-read the same books or watch the same old movies after awhile, I imagine that by the time you get bored with snowboarding, you will be able to go to free climbing mountains without equipment, then work on gymnastics after that, and when you need a break from physical exertion sports, you can switch to playing the guitar, then to pastry chef. By the time you have made the rounds of a couple dozen more activities, you can go back to snowboarding. Plus, for men- they can attempt to understand women. That would be a lifetime challenge even for a neverending life.

Even if I could live forever I still wouldn't understand women, but I doubt it would ever get boring ;)
Forever is a long time. I'd give it a shot. As has been said, there is much to learn and forgetting, human.
But in the long run, the likelihood of a malicious, accidental or tsunami induced death makes forever seem improbable. This assumes a less than perfect world, which isn't a stretch. To think otherwise seems fanciful...

Someday you will be able to live forever, but it will be just your
head in a vacuum container with tubes providing nutrition for
your brainpower. Now that's living.

LOL! When I saw this thread I immediately thought to myself, "I bet I know what Outlaw will say," and I was right.

BluePill2. since the now we live in -- has null length, you have already lived an infinite no. of nows, practically an eternity.
If I lived longer, doing variety, learning, exploring, enjoy movement, flying aerobatics, soaring sprits, and always the comforts of home, the bed.
There would be no end if movement through time, the ever- approaching now would not end.
it would be a new ZEITGEIST.

forever is such a long time. All the time since the big bang to now is nothing compared to forever zillions and zillions and zillions of years in an eternal future in this time i might evolve into something quite different from what i am now and so i couldn't possibly say how i would feel or if i would feel anything.

It would be beneficial to keep in mind that "forever is a long time..........especially towards the end."

Life is lived one minute (or less) at a time, not one day at a time, not a month, a year, a decade, or forever...
