What age do you think you will die?

Yeah the ignore thing isn't that effective is it? Also when I said I was going to ignore someone everyone proceeded to copy the posts into thiers :/

MailMonkey it was brill to see you the other day you coolcat you :) %)

ATM have you been in TinyChat yet?
 
I feel that I will live to 80, it's just a gut feeling. But then, my mother's side seems to have longevity genes. All my great aunts and uncles on her side lived to 90+ years, and a couple living to past 100. They grew up in much more laid back circumstances though. I think the modern world takes a lot out of people. Not sure if I want to live til 100, given how the world is right now.

80 feels right, can't explain why. This is assuming there's no accidents!

Am deeply grateful that there exists on BL at least one or two properly old geezers still funtioning enough to remind the rest of us that there is hope ;)

Having a purpose in life helps massively of course <3 back achya ;)

My basic philosophy on life has definitely changed from the traditional "live fast, die young, leave a slightly odd-looking (but not totally unattractive) corpse)") to summat more along the lines of: "life is mostly shite, horror and pain... but the good bits really are properly good so why throw away those slim glimmers of wonder and joy for the sake of an unknown quantity that'll be along soon enough?". I find it works better overall. Albeit considerably less achingly cool :(

Spot on mate. Spoken like a man who has now climbed that hill and is not too impressed with what's on the other side, but is determined not to be thrown by any of it =D

So when I take drugs, I often take risks because I don't care if I die. When you're dead, you won't have any fears or regrets, what's so scary about that? Only life can make you feel like shit. If we were all certain that heaven awaited us we'd all have found reasons to justify suicide. Living is the safe option - we mostly drift through life feigning oblivion to our mortality!

Each to their own and all that, and I have no idea what you are going through or have been though. But when you're dead, you're dead as far as I'm aware. So even with all the shit that increasingly comes your way with age, there's a lot to be said for having a good winge about it all before the big sleep. We take our pleasure as and when we can :) Coming to terms with your own mortality is a big deal though. I did a long time ago, and I think it's an important milestone to enjoying life as best you can thereafter.

Good man. I would expect nothing less from you good sir.
 
hopefully not too old. dont wanna end up a piss pants dithering old person losing the plot in an old peoples home or whatever. 60 would be alright. truth be told sometimes i dont give a shit if i'd die in a few years or something. although atm my life is the best its ever been, having some amazing times n it keeps getting better

I'm not responding until you use my user name correctly, the pedant that I am I think this is the 4th time I've asked . Lets try a new tack '23' will do;)

I'll answer anyway even I am not that childish, mostly...I have but I only have one netbook with a cam on it and I need to get it working, its running Linux Ubuntu and doesn't want to play ball, I find chat rooms a bit hectic anyhow

You can't balance probabilities on something as like dying, I doubt its like any other experience you will ever have , I say doubt as I haven't died so I can't give any certainties. People descriptions of near death experiences and the research done into them would suggest to me no drugs, unless your in pain or owt are needed.

Personally I want to be properly ther to experience it, if I can, not loaded and risk just fizzling out in a haze of opiates, I've seen someone go that way and it was surprisingly unpleasant .

I see where you're coming from on the unknown quantity bit. Death is indeed an unknown unknown so I can't be 100% sure that seasoning it with seasonal intoxicants would improve the experience. I'd be willing to bet it probably does though personally.

Not sure I'd quite have the balls for a full-on Huxley Ending... although he seemed very pleased with the results (well... up until he stopped passing on info on the quality of the view anyway). I have kindasorta done the opiate overdose thing though and can assure you that whilst it looks horrendous it feels fuckin' incredible - "Fuck! What a rush!!!" (8o<3=D8(=D<38o) *fade to black*

PS: I must leap to PolkaDot's defence (surprised me saying that too) on the name thang too. It fuckin' kills me to type a name in lowercase and still can't cope with adding numbers to it even though you did explain the significance of 'em so can see why they exist. "23" alone would perhaps be a happy medium as ATM or Atm are clearly totally shite and rightly unacceptable to all involved :|
 
I really thought I wouldn't make it to 20. Now 22, I think I'm going to go with 50.

I have poor health, that is do to genetics. I quit smoking, I eat well, got rid of soda, but I still know i will die young.
 
Very chivalrous Shambles thankyou kind Sir.

If you feel that strongly about it atm23 of course i'll do my best type it the way you want it. I wasn't ignoring you deliberately ok?
 
I've thought I was dying about 5 time the last two years. The previous 19 years it only happened once. Nowadays I just don't like to guess. I only want to die causing the least amount of pain to others.
 
DMT and MXE have "killed" me quite a few times... bit less scared of death now. lovely ego death
 
Am in two minds about the whole ego death thing meself. One the one hand, tis a truly awesome experience (in the literal sense rather than the 90s surfer dood version thereof) but on the other hand it's so far beyond other experience it's kinda hard to integrate in any way other than just mucho a-gushin' an' a-glowin' 'bout it ferrabit. Did make me far less... overburdened with overconcernednesses about non-life states - certainly in the short-mid term anyway, perhaps requires (semi-?)regular top-ups for best effect though...

Is so very different to the scant handful of actual near/death experience I have either personally or at close proximity to though that I do wonder sometimes if it really is just pretty colours, wishful thinking and -at best - the barest whiff of the potentially eternally ineffable all mushed up in swirls 'n' stuff sometimes...

Either way, it's a bit of a lushy state and no mistake, missus. Will wait and see whether or not twas but a purdy pricktease. One can but hope it wasn't.

In related news, am always a tad suspicious of claims of multiple ego death experiences. Have only ever had two meself I'd describe as such. If it was as easy as just getting massively twatted on psyches I'd have nary a hint of ego left by now. This is probably why there's a B&D thread in PD on the topic, has been for years, and still no cunt can agree on a definition.

Purdy though.

Pricktease or no.
 
Non-stop any of owt would be shite if truly eternal surely, Knock? Is one of many reasons the traditional heaven/hell divide means shit all to me (if such things shocked us all by existing) - given an eternity there's really no difference.

Isn't one of the traditional(ish) ideas of the afterlife that you get to watch your "life" over and over on repeat forever and for always? The thought of what that would actually be like crushed me like a grape last night for no particular reason. Fuck me that would be truly shit. Good bits partially excepted. I can barely conceive of sitting through the entirety of Andy Warhol's Sleep let alone my own personal director's cut of the similar over a whole lifetime. And what about the many, many hours spent sat staring at screens of one kind or another? Not so hellish maybe... but what if the dastardly afterlife overlords switched it to a reverse angle and had you watching the aeriel socket? Would be quite considerably worse than that Damien Hirst piece involving the back of a television and lotsa flies 8o

Fuck eternity. Fuck it right in the ineffables 8(

oi oi oi shammy this isn't like you. That's probably one of the most negative comments I heard you write. Where is my little ray of Welsh sunshinary?
stop it right now!

Now matter what shite going on we always make each other laugh even when I'm having one of my rightous girly strops.

Big deap breaths don the sunglasses and 'bring me sunshine, all the time' 'make me happy, all the year' in this would where we live, there should so much more happiness' 'bring me sun, bring me happy, bring me loooovvvvvveeeee' yea :)

Ha! An eternity of the dot!

I don't think watching your life on continuous loop is a traditional afterlife, is it? I thought that was pottering about on clouds, a shimmer in the air, having a sherry with Dickens, that sort of thing? Or clue me in!

I'm not a traditionalist though. If there is an afterlife that isn't reincarnation of some kind I would expect to be coming round as some kind of colourful glowing thing in a network of colourful glowing things, with MindMeld™.
