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 memes so that (parts of) your mind live forever
The question to ask yourself is this: With what do you identify?
