I don’t care to constrain the particulars of how “And I Must Scream” is defined saving that it be total anti-utility and it be without escape. Whatever particulars you care to imagine in order to aid in understanding this notion are sufficient.
I will add that I am strongly in the anti-”immortality” camp, as that word should not be used. I am in the anti-mortality camp, that’s how I’d put it.
Please elaborate on your feelings regarding the problems of the word “immortality”. I am agnostic as to your perceptions and have no internal clues to fill in that ignorance.
