Yes, so I can probably plan for it.
Yeah, I’d go for it. I already know that it’s inevitable. Being able to not fuck over my loved ones by having certain things in order would make things easier for them.
Yeah. Death doesn’t bother me since it’s fate. Knowing when would be handy for time management and something I could leverage. It’d be great to party at my own funeral too.
Probably, yes. Imagine how superhuman you’d feel skydiving without a parachute outside the day of your death knowing you couldn’t die. (plot twist: you spend 10 years in a coma afterwards and still die from doing it :/)
coma would be the universe being nice to you. Imagine a full body paralysis where you’re aware of every second passing and the only thing you can do is rot, and maybe hope twitter’s head clown puts a dodgy chip in your brain so maybe you could feel the joy of playing solitaire again.
Ok, you’re winning at monkey pawing :D lemme see if I can top that…
A lot of people definitely would take it. This might be the time to confess their love to a lifelong crush, punch their bully in the face, save up and complete their bucket lists, etc.
Death focuses us on what’s actually important and meaningful for each of us.
Causality issues aside, yes I would. Makes a big difference if I found out I had 40+ years left vs 5 years left.
Dude you have like eighteen seconds
Quick, get this man gay sex and drugs
Wouldn’t have mattered either way then lol.
Can I change it?
I got a scan that detected cancer which I was later able to get removed. That cancer would have probably killed me in five years.
If I get told that I’ll die of cancer in twenty years, I’m going to deal with it in ten years.
Of course I would, then I would hate myself for it. But I know I’d hate myself even more if I had the chance to know and not take it
Yes so I can prepare.
Absolutely. Making sure I have a huge life insurance policy, but getting it far ahead enough to avoid questions of fraud would be worth it.
No. I live to help people and continue making connections. I wouldn’t want to change that.
It’s truly a great thing if Death is unable to change your priorities. You got your shit figured out and must pat yourself on your back.
I learned some lessons from elders a long time ago that the one thing they wished they had done differently is spend more time with family and friends. Helping someone is an extension of that and truly makes me happy. Nothing else gives as much meaning.
Let’s do this.
Leeeerooooooyyyyyyy. nnnn’Jennnnnnkinsssssssss
Sure it would help me adjust the plan
Yes. I think it would add more value to the time I have now and would help me best prepare for my passing.
I think it would make me procrastinate worse, then become apathetic at the end because “I only have X time left …”
Is that a knife you’re holding behind you?
Jokes aside this is a philosophical question, would knowing the answer let you change it? Would it be different if you didn’t know the answer? How do you know that knowing the answer isn’t part of the chain of events that leads to your death in such a situation?
What if the person offering was just scamming you and you lived thinking you’d die in 6 months but then it turns out it doesn’t happen?
I think just the fact that the answer could be something like: “2 more years, suicide” is a no-go for me. I’m not a suicidal person so hearing something like this would absolutely fucking terrify me. I think the more time I’d have left the more freaked out I’d get, constantly wonder when will it start? When will the hell that pushes me to take my own life begin?
I mean, on the bright side, only two more years until I can kill myself!
