Tree of Pleasure would be worse.

The internet could become a real place.

Because then there would be people becoming their SL charact- OH JESUS, WHAT HAS SCIENCE DONE?

The internet disappears altogether

That is a start. But a good start.

Dying alone/young.

If you die old, it means that you didn't do enough in your lifetime.
I would suggest to listen to what Mr. Durden is saying, and I would highly recommend the red pills.

 

[Jashwa]

If you die old, it means that you didn't do enough in your lifetime.

That logic makes no fucking sense.

I could cure cancer, give millions to charity, generally be an awesome person, but if I don't die young then I didn't do enough? That's dumb.

Remember: Physical pain is only the beginning.

Physical pain that never dulls that lasts for eternity. With your very sense of self abolished in the process.

And in reality Jashwa? In that case, my worst-case is pretty similar to yours. Not dying alone, but dying forgotten. There is no conclusive proof of an afterlife, nor conclusive proof of a good one. I do not want true name immortality, nor do I think it ever possible. However, before I die, I wish to make a name of myself. Make myself another Aristotle, another DaVinci, another Caesar. Someone whose name, if not forever, will not be forgotten in two generations.

Tree of Pleasure would be worse.

Let me guess, it's like the Tree of Pain with a hint of Evil Dead mixed in? Bet I know where its branches go in ya.

Understandable, but will it really matter? Your name will still be around, but no one will remember you for who you were anyways. They'll just remember a few things that you did.

Exploding.

Understandable, but will it really matter?

In the end, no. However, it will give me comfort knowing that even just a fraction of me will exist for a fraction more in the great cog of the universe.

They'll just remember a few things that you did.

Which is more than can be said for others. Can you name your great great great grandfather? Your great great grandfather? The name of the man who founded your city? They were all people, people of actions and people of identity. But their names are faded, and with the exception of the lattermost unlikely to last another century or two without active focus. And without that, what proof is there to their ever existing?

I do not want to be a nobody. I do not want to be someone who just rolled over and yielded to the wear of the universe.

 

[Tycho]

Dying.

I don't care about what lies beyond the veil of death, I just wanna get a lot of shit done before I die, and it seems like there's a lot I WANT to do but can't do YET, and I don't want to cash in my chips before I have a shot at doing those things I WANT to do.

Actually, what is worst is not the dying itself, but the fact that it prevents you from doing those things. Any other scenario that would rob you of the ability to do anything worth doing would be just as bad, dead or not.

 

[Azure]

Living a lie. And having full knowledge that you're doing it. Unfulfilled ambition.

 

[Endless Humiliation]

Someone bit my dick off


and if didnt get to go to melt banana tomorrow that would suck

 

[Tabasco]

Losing my job. It keeps me busy and somewhat fulfilled, and I need the money. There's going to be yet more layoffs at the store after the holidays, so it's possible.

 

[twelvestring]

Losing my foreskin. Don't know what I'd do without it.

 

[Runefox]

Losing my foreskin. Don't know what I'd do without it.

You know what? As off-beat as that is, I agree.

 

[twelvestring]

Yes, yes. It's important to us that still have it.:smile:
