…yeah. It’s a real bitch and a half, dying.

Why are you afraid of dying?

[ukan]

There's so much I haven't done yet. Every time I make progress on one thing I discover something else I want to learn.

[atowncalledtreffy]

To learn everything would take much more than a lifetime.

Also you’d get bored around the year 200 or so.

[ukan]

I would. Eventually, I know I would. It's why i wouldn't want to be immortal--I just want more time than I currently have.

[atowncalledtreffy]

So does everyone. But I can think of maybe five people I know personally who got to live as old as you.

[ukan]

...I'm not that old.

[atowncalledtreffy]

You're not, but you're also in your forties or fifties, in a time when half of the population dies before they turn ten.
