The eternal day

[StealthParticipant 5339]

If life were one long eternal day, what would you do with it?

Let’s say you’ve done everything once… or twenty times.
You’ve become financially independent.
You have had experiences with women and ultimately learned to stay away from them.
You’ve maxed out your powerlifting goals, achieved your ideal weight, started businesses and retired from them, etc. You’ve achieved everything on your list.
You’ve visited every place you wanted to several times, maybe even lived there for years at a time, and have learned their languages and cultures.

What would you do next?

Would you keep going, learning even more languages and earning more money beyond what you need, and just repeating yourself?

Would you start going backwards, reminding yourself what it’s like to be ignorant, face poverty, or be swayed by emotion?

Would you turn outwards, and try teaching people, developing new countries or civilizing existing ones?

Would you coast and watch re-runs of Sanford & Son for the rest of eternity?

What is your end game?

Well, if you are saying if one were Immortal? If it happened when young I would play sports, bang hotties, and do drugs. Now? S~~~, read nearly everything in existence, play games, and do drugs.

When I thought I had everything, good job, house, girlfriend, nice car, I realized I wasn’t happy at all. I threw it all away, quit my job, girlfriend, walked away from the house… Became free. Then I discovered MGTOW and put a name to all this freedom I was experiencing.

Your 20's are for learning, your 30's are for earning.

Honestly that depends on how far this idea goes, if I’m immortal and can’t be killed, I’m gonna do some superhero s~~~ just because I can. Jumping from buildings and fighting crime just cause why not?

It could be fun.

If your just asking about if I had achevied all my goals and was free to do what ever I want. Maybe I would start creating new goals. Say I explored the entire world and was a trillonare. I’d start my own space exploring fund and see the stars, the universe itself is infinite so you have infinite possibilities, especially with that much power.

Having a girlfriend is like owning a gun, the longer your around it, the more you want to shoot it.

i love reading stories like this. Thanks for sharing @batman

MGTOW is not a movement, it is a way of life.

I’d probably just spend it watching “Groundhog Day”…

@batman:
When you quit your job and walked away from the house, what did you do instead? Did you find better work or retire early? Did you find a place to live that was less overhead?

The scenario isn’t too different from real life. Interruption from death aside, life is experienced as one day after another.

The scenario is also similar to the ideas of heaven and hell… an eternity reaping what you’ve sown. In the end either way I would think it leads to boredom.

I have achieved most of my goals, and the remaining ones are within sight.
And I’m thinking, what next? I could double down on achievements, but
I don’t need them–and it would just feel like empty work. I am tasting that the point of life, labor, and ambition ultimately leads to nothing in particular.

Ancient literature talks about this. Gilgamesh had it all and did it all. After he journeyed to the gates of death and met the gods, he realized the vanity of all his labor and returned to his kingdom and mellowed out quite a bit.

Ecclesiastes addresses this by pointing out that it almost doesn’t matter what you do (although being wise keeps you out of unnecessary trouble), as long as you enjoy life along the way.

Hmmm…. If I had a ton of money, and time, I’d buy Facebook and shut it down, then run for President to outlaw tube tops and stupid selfies.

Like a bird on the wire, like a drunk midnight choir, I have tried in my way to be free.

I would build an Observatory/home in no-where, Nebraska. This observatory would house a telescope with a 40″ mirror. That should keep me entertained and wondering for centuries. I would also travel with a smaller telescope to share those wonders.

[UniquecornParticipant 48]

I’d scuba dive all the oceans of the world.
