Magic Kingdom
Hey all!!!
So after reading the "Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom" story, I was thinking alot about having yourself as a type of Windows program that you periodically backup so that you have yourself up to that point and you can revert back whenever you want--esentially never die, like we do with computers. Would anyone really want to live forever?? And in the way of getting a new clone body but having the same memories?
I thought about it, and I decided that doing a few things that were dangerous knowing that you would essentially live even if you died would be cool. I mean who wouldnt' take some serious risks knowing they were alomst invincible, short of the initial pain until you were regenerated? But I'm not so sure that doing this more than a few times would be good or fun or anything else...and that there would be people who never wanted to die, or would want to go to sleep for thousands of years so they could have another way of living forever.
Interesting that the author picked the subject of what he called "deadheading" in conjunction with the location of Disney World, since there's that rumor that Walt had himself criogenically frozen until they found a cure for cancer.
Anyway, I was just going to see if anyone else wanted to live forever in this manner, or would be willing to "deadhead" through centuries. I have to admit, it would take the fear out of flying, but it would rid you of the experience of fear that makes life worth living! Thoughts, anyone?
