Oh no, you do make a valid point. However, I think its likely that enhancements to memory and aging would already be in place before immortality ensues. If we all got so easily fed up with the changes that we experience with every age for example, only very few people would remain alive. Regardless of all these limitations we have as of now, we still strive to go on living. We complain about all the things we dont have but there are those among us who work hard to give people a reason to stay and instil hope for a better tomorrow. Just because we are immortal doesnt mean everything reaches a plateau. There will almost always be something to do that keeps us engaged. But I suppose this is me taking on a more hopeful view for the days to come. I do think such a view could revolutionalize things like we have done all these years to sustain ourselves. Giving up may bring irreversible consequences and I doubt that may be beneficial to us as a species.

Yes Ive wondered about the possibility. Infact, I meant to start a topic to see the ideas from people about the possible state of our universe and existence. It would be interesting to know. The possibilities are endless as long as we dont find out the truth. Perhaps we are just plainly avatars in a computer program running in some confined space. Perhaps we are abstract ideas controlled by actual humans. For all we know, we could all be characters in an elaborate fantasy created by an exceptionally brilliant mind or a schizophrenic. We could all be comatose and in virtual worlds. Perhaps, in a more eccentric sense, we could even be the extraterrestrial beings we search for , we are just simulating the lives of a lower power for our entertainment while egotistically making ourselves superior and mysterious in the minds of the simulated human. Its infinite.
