a new drug comes out that gives you effective immortality for as long as you take it. You don't age, you never grow frail, you stay sparky and young and enthusiastic for as long as you want.
but it also permanently freezes your emotional and intellectual age. You never learn anything, you never get better at relationships, you never grow as a person.
@bri7 "You never learn anything" So it results in brain death? That's called a lethal poison.
Learning things is how a mind operates, every experience, every moment of existence leaves an imprint. You can't do away with that and remain a person, at best you'll be a kind of zombie.

@bri7@social.treehouse.systems I'll take it once I've grown as a person and settled into a long lasting relationship then.

@bri7
Yes, and it would be an easy choice for me because I'm already old and set in my ways. When I was 30, it might have been a tough decision. -

@bri7 Oh no... like an inverse Groundhog Day timeloop where you learn nothing and the rest of the world moves on without you while you're stuck in the same day forever. Shit, is this a lotus-eater situation?
