Poll: Invincible Or Immortal

[masher]

The idea of living -forever-... just doesn't sit right... it sounds terrifying. At first there's the sorrow of -everyone- dying around you... than that feeling gets boring, and then what? What do you do when you're -bored- with emotions?

Off topic: my favorite quote regarding Immortality is "At first I went insane, but than I got bored of that, too."

 

[Wither]

it is kind of a hard question. invincible, i die of old age, but , as a great man once said, on a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone becomes zero. if i live for a billion years, chances are at some point i will be in a car crash or airplane failure. ultimately though, i wanna live forever.

Invincible. Living forever would be worse than any hell.

Agreed. Plus if I were to be immortal my mind would be destroyed anyways due to the amount of time alive and the increasing number of jag-offs in the universe.

I would be immortal, then when they find a way to time travel I would decide whether or not to go back in time, and if I ultimately hate my exsistence I would tell my past self to just choose invincibility. Everything would be erased from my memory at that point so it's like nothing happened.

Do you mean immortality or biological immortality? Immortality is eternal life- infinite life- it CANNOT and will not end.
Biological immortality would mean no Senescence, and nothing more, like that cool jellyfish. You can die, it just won't be caused by age.
If you mean the former, I'd pick it. If you mean the latter, I'd pick invincibility.
Either way I'd become a superhero.

 

[Lem0nade Inlay]

Hmmm...Immortal. Because the idea of living forever really appeals to me. The idea that I could perfect all my skills and be whoever I wanted to be.

So yeah, Invincibility is cool but Immortality is cooler (IMO).

 

[Kawatoo]

Invincibility, I would become a villain and rule the world...oh yeah

ahhhh see, see what you did just now, you've made yourself a paradox!
if you go back in time to tell yourself to pick invinciblity, then you won't have lived forever and made a time machine, therefore you can't have gone back to tell yourself to pick invincibilty. therefore you will be immortal afterall.
to quote the big bang theory, "this is a classic rookie time travel mistake".

I'd be invincible and die of old age, fuck being immortal, sure it'd be great to begin with, but I don't think I could handle seeing all of my loved ones die before me.

 

[Simalacrum]

...hold on a second, does invincibility mean that you'll eventually die of old age, rather than become a shrivelled up corpse thats still alive?

 

[RadiusXd]

additional thoughts.
if i were invincible, could I be suffocated?

 

[Zealous]

Invincible. That way I can be a total badass, but i don't have to outlive everyone I know.

I...I'm so ashamed...

And I call myself an Agent.

Godmode or Buddha?

To run around without pain or death, fearing nothing but the march or time, or to be able to feel pain, to be pushed to the edge, to be able to live forever, through intolerable pain, never being able to escape. Deep, deep stuff...

Personally I would pick immortality, but only if I could choose when to die, no one really wants to live forever.

 

[Valkyrie101]

Invincibility, because immortality still carries the risk of death. It's not like you are actually going to live for ever, because statistically you will be killed eventually. Better to guarantee a natural lifespan by being invincible, so you don't have to live in fear of death (the longer the life, the bigger a threat death comes - if it's scary to us now, think what it would be like if you had eternity to lose). Besides, I could do a lot of good with my invincibility.

 

[Taddy]

Immortal, i could deal with the idea of out-living everyone else. It happens either way.

 

[Not-here-anymore]

Immortal - avoiding death by less natural causes is fairly easy, and I'd like to see how the world will change in the years to come.

 

[Iron_will]

Immortality. If I wouldn't age, could kill myself and especially if I was unaffected by all that jazz about your perception of time.

 

[Biosophilogical]

Immortal.

I'd like to live through several thousand years of social and cultural changes. It'd be interesting.

Amen brother (which is weird because I am not religious and you are not my direct blood kin).

Also, I assume that if you are immortal you can die by non-age means, but you would still heal like a normal person from non-mortal wounds. So with immortality I can live as long as I want without getting old and wrinkled and hunched, but still be able to die at my time of choosing.
