Panpsychism - a philosophy with a future
by slimboyfat inat one time scientists believed that living things and non-living things were made of different material, accounting for the unique properties of living things.
this idea is called vitalism and is no longer popular.
what does remain popular (in fact is still the dominant view) is a similar idea that things that experience the world (humans, frogs, mice) are different from things that don't experience the world (potatoes, rocks, snowflakes).

Not sure if he wrote anything about the bible. He wrote science fiction (i-robot) he came up wih the 3 laws of robotics which i-robots is about. Most is non fiction is for dumb people like myself can understand. Michio is a nut, his book "physics Behind The Impossible" talks about creating a death star. Not exactly how star wars does it but, using a collapsing star and turning the black hole into a weapon essentially. -

We learned alot since asimov died but pretty much everything he was about is true. Be it science fiction then, turned to be science fact.

What is the benifits to living forever?
by Jayk incan anyone give me a valid reason for it?
growing old is a drag.
the witnesses idea of ever lasting life, that you will come back to your most youthful state is such a bs answer..

I posted to get different perspectives and that's also a good point. We really couldn't understand the benifits we can only speculate. My concern is "doing everything" I would go explore the cosmos.. thats the only thing I would find "enlightening"

I was gonna say earlier, that even 900 years is a long time. Imagine being born 900 years ago and still being alive today..kinda reminds me of the movie "interview with a vampire" it really puts into perspective living forever (and killing for your food) so subjecting anyone else to that you might want to pick someone you can stand for all eternity.

I agree and understand. I know sometimes I don't get to the point alot of times. But we established "let's be realistic". I can already feel out a few people who look down on others views or opinions but think they shit gold. My bad coco I will tone it done.

You must not understand the fish example.. not trying to sound rude but what after? Unless you could explore the cosmos there isn't any point..you would master every instruments, have 5000000 million children, learn every chess move. Then what? Your answers have zero reasoning behind them. Now let's see how you try to flip your answer and save what remaining ego you have left..

The fish example is a good way to put it. My aunt tried to explain it to me recently. In the process of achieving a new world we made other discoveries like music, math, things like that. So who else knows what we could do. So like you said, what next after meeting every fish in the sea? Lol
