Question #107: Would you like to have your rate of physical aging slowed by thirty or so as to give you a life expectancy of about 2000 years?
I don't think so. My immediate family would die when I was a child. My nieces and nephews would die when I was an adolescent. My brother and sister's grandchildren would die when I was in high school.
I already feel strange that a lot of my friends are getting married and some of them having kids. Were I to live 2000 years and age proportionately, all my friends would age 30x faster and then move onto other things. This would be really depressing, seeing as I don't make friends that fast anyway.
I don't think I'd have a problem adjusting to many social changes that may occur, since if I say "Things were better when I was younger," that would mean a span of 500 years. The worst thing, probably, would be that I would just get bored. 80 years or so is enough to get bored of humans and earth and living. I wouldn't want to stick around for 2000.
This post marks the halfway point through D. Gregory Stock's Book of Questions! Knuck if you buck, y'all! And watch out for CONDI!
