crackpot alert
if you had 800 years to live, what would you do?
might sound like a wish in the wind, but not to USC scientist Valter Longo, who claims that some day we’ll be living up to 10 times longer than today’s norm.
that’s old.
hang on a sec, i’ve gotta reach over and hit the [crackpot alert] button.
but what if he’s right?! think of how many jobs you’d go through, schools you’d go to and countries you’d see. and how careful would you be when deciding to marry that woman of your dreams?
that’s a long dream … and i’m not sure even 800 years is long enough to understand what my wife is thinking.
(some pros)
» lots of time to get it right
» we could get rid of cars and still have time to get anywhere we want
» more friends
» more weekends
(some cons)
» life sentences really suck
» no sense of urgency
» more past to haunt you
» more reality TV
what’s the upside of living 800 years? the downside?
and would you do it if you could?
Think how many hours Marks sermons would run over in an 800 year period
