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 this is just Jack Cabots' "mysterious" serum.

@bri7
as a story prompt, the protagonist intends to take it temporarily / intermittently, but then never does -

@bri7 I want immortality but I want it TO LEARN so this... fails. I might take it for brief periods of time if it would protect me from high risk situations, but no, not long term.

@bri7 this is unfairly in favour of people who wouldn't mature intellectually and emotionally anyway 8-(

@bri7 if you add a sprinke of "never feel sad" I might take it.
But a literal "just staying as I am right now" is... acceptable at best.
I have already learnt to be pretty okay. But this has a lot of ramifications that make no sense and explain nothing.
Learning what exactly, emotionally developing what exactly? You CAN'T not learn, learning is memory, so I would just live this day over and over? -

@bri7 We only need to take it long enough for the boomers to die off.

@bri7@social.treehouse.systems the point of immortality for me is all the things I could learn and improve. This would just give the downsides with none of the upsides for me

@bri7 Twenty years ago, I'd have said "Give me The Stuff" but as it doesn't come with a time machine...

@bri7 don't spoil my vampiric fantasies of having forever to work out my issues and be able to hide away from the world for decades if i don't feel like doing it this decade.

@bri7 What about addiction rate, side-effects, and effects after stopping a daily consommation? I think it's perhaps worth-it on a monthly basis, but you have to plan it ahead to noy ruin your life being "unapologetic".

@bri7 I don't want to stay sparky, I want to age gracefully

@bri7
Give me that stuff. All of it. Including all information of how to make it. Then I hope it burns well.
Because I sort of feel this would end this game we call "earth" much faster and in very nasty ways.
By the way, could that stuff keep people alive even if they get beheaded, burnt, shot, starved, deprived of water and the like? It would be terrible if it did and equally terrible if it didn't, but might change the colors of the nastiness that would end the planet. -

@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 as a story promt: at some point in the future the last one of initial enthusiasts stopped taking this drug

@bri7 A life without learning and improving is not a life at all
