We're all just posing questions to each other for fun, right?

Then, is immortality wrong for mortals to experience?

Morally? No. But the cost of achieving it is usually too high, and the results lacking.

[ a pause. ]

Is this fun?
messenger: mild shock, lips parted (❝ ok ❞)

[personal profile] messenger 2024-11-16 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
Because — What?

[ oh no. ]

Why are you winking.

[personal profile] messenger 2024-11-16 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
I don't get it.

[ right at the beginning. ]

[Dazai is very intrigued what context in this person's life inspired the question, but truly, he doesn't even need a front for his answer:]

Ugh. Immortality sounds miserable, honestly. I wouldn't want it, wrong or not
unaliveyourself: (pic#17481383)

[personal profile] unaliveyourself 2024-11-17 02:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Me neither.

[Hmmmm.]

It's not an especially common sentiment, though, I find.

[It may or may not be a little bit of a fishing expedition, but he's taking his shot nonetheless.]

"Wrong" is a subjective term here; I don't think it's wrong. I also don't think it makes anyone happy or really does them much good at all, unless they don't care about others as individuals.
mostdangerousbird: (028 i’m a spy but on your side you see)

[personal profile] mostdangerousbird 2024-11-18 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Because there's no inate ethical objection to someone being immortal if you aren't adherent to a religion that prescribes that humans CAN'T live forever.

If someone's immortal through metahuman ability, that's not their fault and they have to make the best of it. How someone makes the best of that - I don't know. Haven't actually seen someone pull it staying a decent person after a couple hundred years.

If they make themselves immortal by choice, isn't it already obvious? Unless they're going to make everyone they care about immortal at the same time, they're going to watch everyone they know die. Maybe they'll try to have another life. But after the first few iterations, how long until they completely divest their kind on an individual level? Start thinking they're above it all. Scratch that, they already think they're above it all if they don't make everyone they care about immortal.

... I don't know about wrong, but I think it'd be pretty tough to experience. Eternity is a long time, you know?

[personal profile] eatsnutsandkicksbutts 2024-11-20 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
I mean, pros: time to study literally everything in the known universe, and then find some other universes and study everything there.

Cons: the slow grind of time passing might drive you insane? Plus, in this hypothetical scenario, are there any other immortal dudes hangin' around?

No offense, but that's a dumb question! Immorality can't be avoided! We fuck up, learn and do better.

Oh wait, shit, did you say immortality? I misheard.

Yeah, I guess you're right. I know some Cultivators manage immortality, so it's not wrong or impossible.
