“Millions long for immortality who do not know what to do with themselves on a rainy Sunday afternoon,”
Of late, during my discussions with others about rational politics and eudaimonia, I’ve been experiencing a strangely significant proportion of people (particularly the religious) asking me—with no irony—“What would you even DO with immortality?” My favored response: “Anything. And everything. In that order.” LessWrong and HP:MoR has played no small part in that answer, and much of the further discussion that generally ensues.

So… thanks, everyone!
