<![CDATA[a new drug comes out that gives you effective immortality for as long as you take it.]]>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.

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.

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.

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.

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?
