mars, immortality, stoicism - lostboyevsky lyrics

[jordan bates & [?]]
if commercial space flight becomes available in my lifetime, i’d love to go into space… temporarily, but i’m not trying to move to mars like at least not right now. maybe if immortality technology is developed, like, eventually i’ll—

why are you so obsessed with immortality technology? that’s like… i don’t even want… i don’t even know like what happens in your brain. like that thing that you were saying about like what if sadistic aliens got their hands on immortality technology and decided that they would just create like h-ll on earth and torture humans or—

just make us immortal just so they could give us the maximum amount of torture… the worst pain possible for eternity

what is– what is wrong with you? that you think about that?

i wish that i knew. i would prefer to not have these programs running in my brain sometimes, but… you know, the stoics thought that uh, thought that by imagining like the absolute worst case scenarios that you could cultivate gratitude for like whatever is actually happening. and i would say in this case that if there’s one silver lining to imagining that scenario it’s that it makes it plainly obvious that our current situation is vastly, vastly superior to that and like infinitely superior to that and that makes me appreciate the world around us

you have to imagine aliens with immortality technology and eternal torture to be grateful for our current situation?

you’re putting words in my mouth! i would still be grateful, this is just an exercise that just enhances my gratitude… refines it, not refines it really. concentrates it like a laser beam and i can just shoot like a fireball of gratitude out of my third eye

so now you’re a care bear. now you’re a care bear. that’s basically what’s happening. you have these really dark thoughts about these aliens with immortality technology and eternal torture
and it turns you into a care bear

so… about mars again–

why is it always mars with you? why is that your– just your go-to? that’s like your solution to everything

stop yelling at me!
*laughs*
