If you could not die until old age, how would the ideal rest of your life look?

[lotus11]

Ok, so hypothetical question.

Imagine you can't die now. You just can't until you are say around 90 and you will die of natural causes. How would the rest od your like ideally look?

Would you leave society and join a tribe in the jungle? Quit your job never work again and read books for hours every day? Have 5 children? Travel the world? Take over the world maybe...? What would you like your future to look like?

I will make a quick summary: If I didn't had Asperger's and chronic pain, I would probably have a few close friends, and wife. I would never want to have any children ( I don't want to bring more people in this world to suffer like I'm suffering)
I would want to continue living as a middle-class person. Having enough money to have a good normal life, but not rich. I would like to live like that until old age.

I'd marry my best friend and travel the world with him to eventually settle in some secluded area, maybe in Siberia, or Australia. Become a world-class hacker and make a fortune finding zero day exploits. Alas, no energy and will to pursue any of that. I don't like life.

yep thats actually my ideal life too but somehow having my own 1 bedroom flat and a decent pay job is too much to ask for nowadays

I just want a friend I can relate to. But my situation is so specific that I don't think I can get that.

Ideally, I'd want to be able to stay home and create as much art as I like. Art has always been my greatest passion, to a point where I get antsy if I've gone even a few days without drawing, so I'd just want the time to indulge in my hobbies for the rest of my life. Even better, I'd like to share it with other people. I think a large fanbase would be kinda overwhelming, so if I had even just, like, 10 people who were REALLY enthusiastic about what I make I'd be happy lol.

Also, heavy treatment. Whatever would work for me. I don't necessarily want to die, I just want to be relieved of my illness, and the whole process of insurance, diagnosis, and getting treatment can be such a pain. So ideally that'd come way easier to me haha

 

[Unbearable Mr. Bear]

Calm, living in a more rural area, but still having technology with me. A few passionate friends that would come over and play games or watch stuff. A lover who is gentle with me and loves me the way I am. Maybe stream as a hobby, playing old games without rush. To relax, to let time tick, to make memories worth remembering and forget the future exists.

 

[WhatCouldHaveBeen32]

Transition probably, play games, talk to whatever friends I have left, work some random low wage job because I can't be bothered to study for something more, play more games, listen to music, eat something, go to sleep? wake up.

That's it. And when I get bored of games which is bound to happen, just look on the ceiling for hours with no thought in my mind like I do these days. Basically you've just condemned me to life in prison but without the prison hierarchies, mannerisms and cellmates.

Live in a cabin in the woods. Make things out of wood with my own hands. Give them to people or sell them for a modest price to buy the things I need to live. Only talk to people when I absolutely have to.

 

[Lady_V]

Get really intense therapy to deal with all my trauma, find a nice person, get a modest little home in some semi-rural area, pop out some kids, get chickens for eggs and bees for honey. I just want a small, calm, simple life.
It's pretty clear it won't ever happen to me though.

 

[IronMed]

I have absolutely no desires or interest in human affairs or fulfilling any human or existential narrative whatsoever up to the point where I would not even want to be god or live in eternal communion, nirvana, state of light, incorporeal consciousness, or anything else. I would not want any money any nothing I have zero interest in pursuing any human narrative. Non-existence is the only form of justice and peace.
