varieties of death

[vh]

I'd still choose 1, no matter what.
My point being, no sensory input sounds frightening and if I don't know that I'm dead once I'm dead, I'd much rather prefer that over anything else.

i did add a scenario with sensory input

[vh]

eternity in any capacity unless there is some continual differential input seems like it would become terribly boring

ok, how would you choose between death and unconstrained life? given that the observable universe is "shrinking", even that must sound boring to you since you will eventually run out of inputs

[Darvince]

inputs will still vary over time, as i am a very limited human being and so even in the same place i can bring in new information and then create new information through those different discussions, making a single planet such as the earth (if all people on the planet were to be immortal) an extremely long time that I could stay here and remain sane, as I cannot take in absolutely everything over time and the universe is far larger than the capacity of our memory.

[vh]

given your limited memory couldn't you settle for a relatively small and finite amount of sensory input which you looped over and over again, so that you never lost the sense of novelty?

[Darvince]

I would settle for that, all it would require is maybe the entire continent of North America or something

ok what if you had senses but were constrained to your bedroom w/ no way for anything to go in or out (aka no Internet?

Can I have someone else in the bedroom to enjoy my eternity with? If so, sure

This article basically describes someone who paid to be cooled down once he dies, in hope that sometime in the future humanity will have found out how to prevent death entirely where he can then be heated up again.
Well, if the freezing down actually manages to preserve him and that future scenario happens at all.

someone was once frozen and they returned to life when they thawed i think.
