Everyone looking to add hundreds of years to their life better hope that they aren't convicted of a crime that carries a sentence of life without the possibility of parole. And presumably, you wouldn't even be able to kill yourself.
Hi Kristian,as there are about a billion galaxies in the Universe,and a galaxy can have up to 200 billion stars or planets,I would think even if our galaxy had only one planet with intelligent life form,there is a possibility that there could be 2 billion planets with life forms,and if the life forms had evolved over a similar time from to ours ie 4 billion years that is possible some could have intelligent life forms at human level more or less.
Definitely life expectancy. Death is an insult to our very existence. We live lives full of hopes, dreams, emotions, experiences, occurrences and memories - to me it is unfathomable and absolutely crushing that after all of the above, one day we just ceize to exist. The impossibility of escaping that end is frustrating to no end - it doesn't matter what you do, whom you love, how many kids have have, how much money you earn, how many people you save, etc, one day you're just gone. I would want to live for as long as I can
I have lived fairly long now and see no advantage to living an extended life, so bank balance it is. I'm not a particularly greedy person, but there are things I'd like to do and places I'd like to see. And I could accomplish more good in the world. This sounds self-serving and pedestrian, but it's how I think.
That's a very cool question. Money is the easy one because of the immediate benefit. Living longer sounds appealing too but has its drawbacks. I think I will go with dates / serious relationships post divorce 6 years ago til I'm gone. That gets me from 5 (only dates, no relationships) to 50. At least then I would have a bit of a social life. ?
The amount of kids I've had. I think kids are great, adults, not so much. BTW that would give me between 50 and 70 kids.
Are you not sure of how many kids you have?
just what the world doesn't need ...
Life expectancy but only if I also age 10 times slower
First, you gotta fudge the numbers. Let's say we add a zero to life expectancy. 750 is a big step up. But we can do better. Using a hexidecimal system, 75 becomes 4B. 4B0, brought back to the decimal system, is 1200. But we can do better. You can theoretically make a number system with any base number. Instead of 10 or 16, we could make it 10000. 75 plus a digit in base-10000 would be 750000 in decimal. Cheat like this, and you can effectively name your number at whatever you want. You just gotta choose what area you want to max out. So along the same lines, I'll choose I.Q. ?
I thought the IQ scale topped out at 200?
Yeah I'd go with this guy I'd like to be immortal for a while so I'ma cheat the system! Also base 12 is the most precise because it has the most whole denominators
Awesome
@thinkr I believe that 200 is the maximum on certainly IQ tests, due to the way they are scored. That's not quite the same as an actual maximum.
IQ isn't technically, measurable beyond about 150.
@GinaMaria, @thinkr measurements become less accurate above around 150 due to the rarity of such high IQs. There just aren't enough people to compare them to to get a really accurate measurement. And the idea of the IQ cap at 200 is due to the probability distribution in relation to the human population. It isn't actually a hard cap at 200, but rather that it's statistically highly unlikely for an IQ above 200 to occur within a population of 7 billion people. Marilyn Vos Savant held the Guinness world record for highest IQ for a while, at 228 by their measure. (You guys got me curious enough to look it up! ? )
Number of people I wronged in my life?
I don't think you want to multiply that by 10, you're too kind for that.
@HippieChick58 I was thinking just the 0 part. I interpret things strangely sometimes.
Add it to my age. Think of all the things there are yet to learn. That alone is enough.
