When you think about it aging and death is the thing that makes us all truly equal. It also fleshes out empathy like nothing else can.

In another 10 years some of the once young dudes that posted here back in 2007 or 2008 when I first came to this site will be 50-60 years old. I think of how on top of the world someone like Ronnie Coleman was back then...now he can barely walk.

Think about how much the body changes in the amount of time...the ailments that pop up, random chance events like car wrecks, the general wearing down. And the amount of people you see leave this world.

No matter how much we chase or even obtain the highs of this world...time keeps on ticking. Have it all today and it's all gone in 10 years.

Agreed…

when all we are doing is filling our time with nonsense while we wait our turn to die, what does it matter if you hyper focus on making fat millies or just go fishing.


No one can escape it, and the tasks that we perform while we wait are all as equally meaningless.

do what you want. every second of every day. do what you want to do.


Stoics advocate contemplating our own personal mortality as source of motivation and inspiration. After drinking the kook aid and gaslighting myself, I agree with them.

There is a lot of power there. And we all have it.

The Danse Macabre, also called the Dance of Death, is an artistic genre of allegory of the Late Middle Ages on the universality of death.

The Danse Macabre consists of the dead, or a personification of death, summoning representatives from all walks of life to dance along to the grave, typically with a pope, emperor, king, child, and labourer. The effect was both frivolous, and terrifying; beseeching its audience to react emotionally. It was produced as memento mori, to remind people of the fragility of their lives, and how vain were the glories of earthly life.

I think eventually they'll figure out a way to stop ageing, but only rich people will be able to afford it and at that point, the rich will truly have everything.

These monks keep the skull and bones of the monks that die, inscribing their skulls

It is considered a reminder of death and a joyful memento that their fellow monk went to Heaven

It is just funny in a dark way how skulls have a big smile on them and everyone eventually decays into a skeleton

But could there come a time when people with all the time don't even want it anymore? At some point perhaps you've seen all you want to see and experienced all you want to experience enough times until there's nothing left. I think of the movie Interview with the Vampire where after hundreds of years they were just existing in a state of existence.

The elites are trying to eradicate aging and death

Enjoy your time here. And leave it a better place for the next generation.

Yeah eventually you might get tired of it. Speaking of Interview with the Vampire, if you were a prime Brad Pitt and you got to stay in your prime forever that would be hard to give up. You'd be 300 years old and still slaying 21 year olds

But what does Dr Dre say?

Nothing you idiots, Dr Dre's locked in my basement.

Getting old isn't bad if you just accept it. I'm the happiest I've ever been AND the oldest I've ever been.

Could there come a time when even slaying loses its charm. After 300 years you might just be like whatever...I look a certain way and women will easily spread their legs for me, but they can't truly know me or comprehend the totality of my experience.
