Living forever in the same place sucks anyway, forever is a pretty long time So I would rather die, even if I didn't know the ultimate answers. And I suppose it also depends if you assume there is an afterlife or not. |

i would rather know the truth/meaning of life and die instantly than live forever, for the same reasons as lucius |

Well, I don't want to live forever nor do I want to know the ultimate answer (assuming it's not 42 as I already know that) and die because I still have my life ahead. Eternity is quite a long time as Lucius noted. If I really had to make that desicion it'd drive me crazy because I couldn't decide. Maybe I could choose the truth and die when I'm very very old. |

Don't think about those damn kangaroos.
I would definitely choose to live forever and not know the answers. This is because of two reasons: |

Hide the kids...Uncle ITM is back!

Yea, live forever and figure out the answer on your own. Then you will have both. |
|
I would choose to live forever. It would be amazing to see the future. Being around for the Earth's ultimate destruction by the Sun, is something i wouldn't want to miss. |
|
I figure boredom is rooted in survival, so being eternal would grant no boredom. |

naturals are what we call people who did all the right things accidentally
Ill take answers over living never to find out |

Some interesting responses. That was a question that an agnostic friend of mine posed to me the other day and I was fascinated with. |

Interesting question. |

In this crazy world if they don't consider you mad, then you have no confirmation of your own sanity, do you?
Imagine if this crazy world thought you were sane?! Oh my God, worst nightmare!

Man, this question reminds me of a book I've read called "Time Enough for Love" by Robert Heinlan.... |

If immortality came as well I would choose it, the possibility that life does end would be enough for me to choose the second option. |

It also depends on how you aquire this knowledge. It is the learning process itself that is just as important as the actual answers (the path and how its walked being more important than the finish line). Would it be like *poof* you know everything..I think that would be rather overwhelming and you would go crazy Unless you are like send to the school of universal wisdom or something and everything gets taught to you Or maybe it would like the matrix..they never seemed bothered by getting stuff uploaded into their heads |

i won't want either of them: |

Well, I would love to have that information, but I don't know what the point would be of me having it, if I would only die. I couldn't do anything about it, and if I was wrong about the whole christianity thing, I would be so screwed. I mean, having the knowledge is only viable if you can use it. Even an eternity in ignorance would be a well spent one, because all sorts of other knowledge would be open to you. As I've said before, we're bound to develop space travel at one point or another in humanity's existance, so when this world is destroyed or too over populated, we could just go to another planet. I don't think I'd get too bored during my eternal existance, because I think humanity will be around for quite some time. I'd love to witness it's development. |

I would definitely choose life. Just think of the experiences you could have! I could easily perfect Lucid Dreaming if I wanted to escape the waking life. Think of it man! |

Well, they say ignorance is bliss...but i'd rather know the truth and die when my time comes, rather than live forever and risk being at the behest of some crazy universal cult that's feeding me lies! |

I would probably chose to live forever. For example, I would be able to master all of the shit that I want, instead of having one lifetime and one profession. |
