Would you like to live to be 100 trillion years old?

It depends on whether the life would be good or not. Why not want more satisfactory life? In realistic terms, health becomes an obstacle in the old age, I wouldn't want to live with large limitations for a long time.

Do you know this?

I would love to be immortal - but at the same time I also would love to live in the world that reached the seventh level on the Kardashev scale So as we could create new universes and so on when our own universe is as dead as a dodo Anyway, in my fantasies I live in a house somewhere beyond time and space where I have accesss to everything I need - or that I have the whole planet just for myself in them I live in there with my best buddy who is a robot, taking care of me It wouldn't even need to be big - the King Kai's planet (vide Dragon Ball) would be sufficient for me

This is a vaguely asked question. 'Would my body stop aging?' Is the first question that comes to mind. Then there's, 'Would I be guaranteed to live all of those years, or could I still be killed?' The specifics of impossible, 'What if?' questions are important.

Regardless, my answer is no. That sounds like too much time to live. I'd watch countless loved ones die and, eventually, become tired of every hobby, person, culture, etcetera that exists.

No thank you.

That's an interesting question. Personally, I would probably go for it, but then I think I would start to regret it after a while. Humanity as a whole would become extremely predictable after a few hundred years. You'd watch them all make the same stupid mistakes over and over and over and over again and get tired of watching them find the same solutions to the same problems. On the other hand, it could be interesting to live in entirely different worlds as culture changes around you. Especially technologically different. That could be worth seeing in and of itself. But then you'll probably see how humans try to abuse it for their own ends when it first gets invented. There's also doubtless going to be countless pointless wars and deaths you're gonna hear about over the ages, and you'll be just as capable of stopping any of it from happening. And this is just over the next thousand years.

Humans aren't used to living that long. That's what makes it hard to understand what it'd be like.

I wrote once a short story - and today, imagine that, I found out it is going to get published in a book because I entered some writing contest - in this story, a man made a deal with a supernatural entity that assured him he was going to live in the world from Tolkien's books until the very end of his life (and given the fact he was 55, he thought it was going to be just like for the next 20-30 years) but this entity outwitted him in the result of which, the unfortunate character from my story, was going to live in this made up world until even the black holes evaporate

So he was extremely unhappy with it - but I personally would love to live for so impossibly loooong.

When I was younger I might possibly have balked at living a long time with nothing happening. But I'm getting older. Now, sometimes I sit on the end of the couch doing nothing, watching nothing, listening to nothing...and it feels fine.

If I otherwise felt OK, I'd be willing to try to vegetate for billions of years doing nothing.

If I learn how to manipulate my experience of time so that I can go into some sort of fast-forward mode, that would be cool. Life seems to speed up anyway and I'm only half a century, so imagine by the time I'm one thousand, a week might feel like half an hour. I also think that if you took a snapshot of who I am every 1000 years, I'd be very different people. What if my human body just stayed as it is now so that I'm healthy and capable, I guess that time frame would be enough to see the human race evolve, I always wonder how domestic animals will evolve despite/inspite of our interference, if they will evolve in a way that breaks free of us despite our best efforts to maintain their domestication. I'd be an oldschool human amongst the new human species, a lost relic from the age just after the dinosaurs.
