072 – Immortality, What does it mean to live forever?

In this episode, we take a deep dive into the fascinating, and sometimes terrifying, thought experiment of immortality! 🌌

We start by referencing the incredible sci-fi film

The Man from Earth, where a professor reveals he is an immortal caveman who has lived for 14,000 years. This leads us to ponder the true nature of immortality—is it a gift or a curse? We explore the different definitions of immortality: does it mean you can't die, or are you also invincible and impenetrable? We debate what would happen if an immortal was hit by a car, crushed in a building collapse, or even caught in a nuclear blast! 💥

We also discuss the social and emotional challenges of living forever. Imagine watching your loved ones, your spouse, and your children grow old and die while you stay young forever. The hosts explore the idea of an immortal becoming bored with the world and taking on the role of a god, or even being trapped on an uninhabited planet for thousands of years!

Join us as we explore the existential dread and endless possibilities of being immortal. What would you do if you could live forever? Let us know in the comments!
