I mean I'd trust em. Immortality sounds boring as frick because eventually you'd outlive everything. also you can get stuck in situations like the "Heaven Sent" episode.
>immortal being lectures you on why it's wrong to seek immortality
This would be the only time I'd actually be open to listening to this concept. So far only mortals have given me this answer and since none of them know frick all about what it would actually be like to be free of fear and simply exist for the sake of experience and exploration of both the world and the self. I quickly disregard their conceptual projections.
Sorry, the most recent showrunner revealed that the Doctor was in fact originally a beautiful little black girl from a different universe with unlimited regenerations, meaning they are the only truly immortal being. Also the evil white Gallifreyans stole her power and wiped her mind which made her believe she was a uselessly average male for over 1000 years.
Immortality is fricking moronic.
You are not the pinnacle of human consciousness.
We have a lot of iteration to go through yet.
All you need to do is take a good objective look at your browser history to know that you need to die and get out of the way for something better.
>immortal tries to lecture me on immortality >moron hasn't even experienced all of immortality yet >basically no different than me
Some people just can't get off their high horse.
immortality ~= invincibility
being immortal would be great as long as there is a way to have a nice day after a while
but an immortal person would probably struggle to exist in society
>but an immortal person would probably struggle to exist in society
Not at all. If you need to eat than just get a low stress job as some security guard in a warehouse, accumulate some wealth and stick it into the stock market index funds.
Being immortal would mean living through the long slow heat death of the universe which is projected to last a few million times longer than the period in which it will have liveable planets and stars, anon.
The death of the planets. The death of the stars. All fading away/getting hoovered up by black holes until there is nothing but blackness and emptiness forever more. Going mad. Going beyond madness. Going mad again. Eventual endless boredom. Wishing you could go mad once more... Immortality means living through all that too.
would be sexy if it was an anime girl and she was being tickled on her naked body the whole time too.. all her private parts.. endless stimulation.. edged eternally.. no escape... bothered.. teased.. tormented.. endless frustration... wriggling and writhing for eternity... begging with an unsympathetic universe for forgiveness.... trapped by immutable physical laws.. naked hell.. electric intense torture hell..
Worst part of being immortal is that you'd eventually get bored enough that you'd do something so obscene that it would get you locked up for the rest of your immortality.
You're one of those people who think that if you start looking at porn you'll eventually be unable to just jerk off while thinking about having penis in vegana sex with a girl, aren't you?
cant stand this trope
i read picture of dorian grey and fricking hated it because of it
guy lives a life of obscene pleasure and im supposed to feel bad for him? gimme a fricking break
Man from earth had the right idea about immortality. Just go on adventures and make friends and leave. How do we know that there are no immortal beings doing this today. Immortality is basically allowing yourself to learn infinite knowledge.
>Immortality is basically allowing yourself to learn infinite knowledge.
My memory is so shit that even with hundreds of years to learn I'd still end up going "yeah I remember this guy... his name starts with an L I think? And there's an N in there in the middle somewhere... He lived in like the 1600s or 1700s? Anyway he said something like...". I seriously don't get how people memorise song lyrics or poems. I tried to do that all through my teens until I just gave up on the whole idea. If I was an immortal like that guy then people would just keep asking me questions and I'd go "I dunno, I had a great sandwich in 608, though".
Greg Egan's 'Schild's Ladder' has a great take on this (the book's title being the central metaphor for the continuity of identity when everyone has extremely elongated lifespans)
If this movie was to be remade today it would be nonstop flashback of epic battles and shit while telling his story instead of just people sitting in the room for 2 hours and talking
>nooo you don't understand my immortality is my curse because I have to live for thousands of years instead of just 70 and merely watch other people die every couple of decades! You don't want none of this Dewey cox!!!
Imagine just being able to take a vacation that lasts a hundred years on some isolated desert planet, just to live out your Mad Max fantasies. Then you go back to civilisation and just read all the new books that were released in the last hundred years.

That's because when he was a little girl, his mother experimented on him and torched him though unnecessary deaths so that the little girl's immortal seed could be harvested. If you seek immortality you will become a corrupt individual who has no problem torturing children.
I'll never understand the whole "you'll watch everyone you love and care about die..." thing. That still happens when you're not immortal. Every person who reaches 80 or 90 has a long list of friends, acquaintances and family members who died before them and which they might hope to see in an afterlife. My grandma saw three sons and a daughter die in their 30s, her husband dying before her and then she died after having to amputate her fricking leg due to a blood clot, that's not counting all her friends who died before her. And she didn't reach 90. The only difference for an immortal is that they'll also see their kids die even if they reach 120, but at that point why wouldn't you just be able to be happy about what a long and happy life you gave your kid?
I'd rather see my kids die at 100, knowing I've been there with them throughout and made their life good, than dying at 60 and not knowing whether my kid will be okay without me. I feel like the anguish you'll feel for them while dying has got to be worse than the anguish you get from a kid dying of old age.
He's not even immortal. He can only regenerate if the damage is not so bad that he dies before the process can start properly. It's just that every villain in Dr Who is astonishingly incompetent and never just does the obvious shit and vaporize the guy.
I mean I'd trust em. Immortality sounds boring as frick because eventually you'd outlive everything. also you can get stuck in situations like the "Heaven Sent" episode.
seriously. frick that.
Nah it'd be great
Why do normalgays want to live so bad? I look forward to dying No more of this bullshit
Then why are you still here dumbfrick.
Frick off you c**t, I want to be immortal biologically.
You could still die from an accident or just have a nice day.
I hate death cultists.

he's just long lived not immortal.

Better than being randall.
Just wait for another big bang, no biggie. Like missing your bus. Just wait for the next one.
in the fountain he just hangs out in his space snow globe until the universe restarts
Sure if you go by the ~~*Big bang*~~ narrative... and no, this not a flat earth either
>~~*Big bang*~~
a catholic priest came up with it..
All Christianity derives from them, they are the ones that invented it and oh casuality they are also the chosen ones,,,,
Fun fact: eventually getting sucked into a black hole would also freeze time for the immortal being so no hope for a new big bang ot any way out.
And when the black hole evaporates via hawking radiation?
Will never happen for the consciousness inside which is trapped in singular time.
Until the black hole evaporates.
That's from an outside perspective, time flows different inside and outside there is no "until" inside a black hole.
Until the blackhole is gone.
would be sexy if it was an anime girl and she was being tickled on her naked body the whole time too.. all her private parts.. endless stimulation.. edged eternally.. no escape... bothered.. teased.. tormented.. endless frustration... wriggling and writhing for eternity... begging with an unsympathetic universe for forgiveness.... trapped by immutable physical laws.. naked hell.. electric intense torture hell..

He watched universes freeze and creations burn. He has seen things you wouldn't believe. I'd trust him.
He just wants to be unique... imagine being part of a group...
But the Doctor is part of a group.
Worst part of being immortal is that you'd eventually get bored enough that you'd do something so obscene that it would get you locked up for the rest of your immortality.
eternal tickling punishment..
You're one of those people who think that if you start looking at porn you'll eventually be unable to just jerk off while thinking about having penis in vegana sex with a girl, aren't you?

Ah, but he says "I'm so, so sorry" first. That means he's legally and morally in the clear.
I'll never understand the whole "you'll watch everyone you love and care about die..." thing. That still happens when you're not immortal.
