Ain't going to help ...you're going to die anyway.. so best you just move to Brazil and travel to the Amazon River and build a raft and live on it and catch fish and pick fruit and stare up at the stars every night till you get old and decrepit and wonder at the marvelous universe that you were born in until one day you see no more and you feel no more and you are no more.. instead of just striving and working out and stepping steps and earning and working and working and earning.. just my thoughts.. but you do you

If anyone thinks this, I sincerely hope you re-evaluate. The difference between doing sports and exercise and doing none is often being disabled or in pain in your 30s and 40s, versus being in near peak physical shape. I meet too many people who assume that debilitation comes with being aged 38-50.

If you don't mind me asking, why don't you do that?

If you already are, what are the rates like for Starlink's jungle-rafting plan?

Because I believe that in my essence I am essentially just information contained in my brain.. and I believe that if such information can be sufficiently preserved for a sufficiently long period of time, then I believe that such information can be recovered in sufficient quantities so that the person that I am can be revived or live again some other means or ways.. that might mean immortality for me because information could be considered immortal.. therefore I signed up for cryonics, the practice of freezing the brain after death so that the brain can be preserved for long periods of time in order for some revival to take place in the distant future.. if there were no such thing as cryonics, I would be floating on a raft in the Amazon right now, because there really isn't much point to all this other stuff in my opinion

Well, that is a point of view. There's a video game you might like, called SOMA.

Probably get killed by a poacher or illegal gold miner.
