I want to be immortal Veeky Forums. What are the chances of it being made possible during our lifetimes...

You need to be at least extremely wealthy.

Give me immortality and then I'll be able to contemplate such pseudo philosophical bullshit.

>I want to be immortal Veeky Forums.
Become a philosopher, write some important books, rinse and repeat until you're a reference. Bam, you're immortal.

Alternatively, give your name to a useful theorem.

No I'm not. What kind of retarded answer is that? The "you die when you're forgotten" meme needs to stay on Veeky Forums.

>vice
Yeah nice creditable source.

This is why an intro course to humanities should be fucking mandatory to high scientific ed
Just like an intro course to maths and logic should be mandatory in litterature

There is no point in immortality. Read a fucking book, you've plenty of time for that, Peter Thiel

Guess what mongloid, there's no purpose in life, whether it has an ending or not doesn't change that. It's not a 'book whose story never ends'. Kill yourself.

Oh boy, I'm laughing

>there's no purpose in life
Yes there is, being useful to the others and to the world.
There's absolutely no point in fearing the inevitable.

It is impossible to obtain immortality. There will always be a possibility of oblivion, things no organism can survive; a gamma ray blast, black hole, extreme temperatures; sure, you can attain life on this planet for longer but eventually you will die. Think of the scenario where maybe you survive the destruction of a planet: now you are drifting in the vacuum of space for damn near eternity, nothing to do; trust me when I say, unless you are a robot and devoid of even the most basic feeling (no pain from hunger, no emotion, can shut down your senses etc), you will wish for death.

And what if I said that any purpose you give to life is one you make up yourself? The fact that I can simply disagree with you on this, as well as the fact that both of us can have such views that we can just choose to reject each other's premises while holding defendable positions and be able to prove the other side wrong from our premises is a testament that the discussion of that subject is trivial. If you've actually read anything in philosophy that isn't a meme you'd understand that if both of us can abide by the same logical rules and hold positions on the same subject so far apart that there is no ground for discussion, then the topic itself is arbitrary.
>Yes there is, being useful to the others and to the world.
Oh I absolutely love this. Please don't respond to this and just fuck off from Veeky Forums instead, but if that's the purpose of life, how does being immortal contradict it? You can continue to do both while you're immortal :^) The only way life loses purpose if you’re immortal is if it gains purpose by ending.
