[VirianLexicon]:[immortality]

!!!Immortality
----
__To attain [immortality] is to live forever. Consider three kinds:__
;''somatic'' : SuperLongevity, or as Woody Allen put it, "I don't want to achieve [immortality] through my work... I want to achieve it through not dying."
;''genetic'' : the way most people do it, through their children
;''memetic'' : to propagate your [meme]s so that (parts of) your mind live forever
The question to ask yourself is this: With what do you identify?
