What will be your biggest regret about living only approx 75yrs

Doom

l'd love to live for a couple of hundred years, watch man progress or destroy themselves.
Definitely love to be around to see them land on Mars and setup a colony, or will we finally put war behind us...

Looking back on mans history so much has happened, but realistically it happens over a couple of lifetimes

stupidusername

not enough time spent fapping

:rolleyes:


Actually will probably regret the amount of time I've spent (and am still to spend) stressing about other people.

That'll happen in the next 30 years, so depending on your age now, all your dreams may not be shattered

Actually as you said, some of that space stuff fascinates me. Would like to be around longer to see what kind of stuff is discovered.

I'm hoping people will look back and laugh at how little knowledge we had, I'm sure they will.

Not getting to see a Dinosaur Zoo.:(

Unless you were like a couple of my uncles, even my da who lived through most of the 20th century. One great uncle was born the year of the first flight(1903) and got to see the moon landings, flu pandemics, pictures from voyager, televison, colour movies, the space shuttle, computers, chernobyl and two world wars and was a beatles fan late in life My dad saw a lot of that too. The 20th was a beaut if you were born early enough.

It would be cool to see where we end up alright. That said it's just as easy for us to regress. It's happened before. Every single civilisation/empire/culture has gone the way of the dodo. The more complex they become the more vulnerable they are. It wouldn't take much to knock us back.

Not living to see Ireland finally pay back the imf :mad:

orourkeda

Not rearending Dannii Minogue

Blazer

Not being around when we finally colonise another planet, not being around when we finally met another space faring species (hopefully the Klingons )

bleg

I'm 23 and having what I would call a 1/4 life crisis!

spudington16

When are we going to get around to creating Cylons to make our lives easier?

cosmic

Not getting that letter from the Queen

FatherLen

i probably wont have any.

I wish I could die tomorrow at 27 . 75 seems such a long way away. I was watching the documentary farrah fawcett made last night on her cancer, and wondered why people like her who wanted to live die, while people who want to die live? Maybe we get an stronger wish for survival when dying.

justshane

Cool thread, Hopefully I'll be around to see what happens when our oil supply's run out.

What if the average life expectancy was 150 years?

Would civilization continue to advance rapidly as experts become more deeply knowledgeable and less knowledge is lost in transfer between generations?

Or would we all just take our time with our careers and be less ambitious? Would people even want to stay in one career for 100 years?

Badgermonkey

At least I'll avoid living through the 80's a second time.

PMPA, Haughey, The Gammon Steak, HWilliams, Limahl.

Screw that.

Contrary to all of those American sci-fi films/programmes, it will probably be the Chinese doing the colonising, because the rest of mankind won't be able to afford it.

I'd have the same outlook, if I could die in my sleep tonight I'd take it. No real interest in life and living. If I die today or I die in 50 years, what's the difference??

alexa5x5

Probably that I didn't sleep with enough people while I could. That I never tried some lady loving. That I spent too long worrying about what others thought of me.

Why not sleep with a lady, tape it & send me the tape and not worry what i think of it?? Three birds one stone and i'd be willing to help you have no regrets.

Yeah that's how I feel. I was watching that Farrah Fawcett thing and how she tried every treatment going, and her long fight not to die. And I was like wow she really wanted to live! Where does she get her passion from? As I don't feel it. I feel indifferent to the world and 75 seems a looong way to get to.

Even professional dole-spongers would eventually get bored sh1tless and probably want a proper job after 50 years.

Perhaps AH isn't the place but if you're feeling somewhat emotionally detached and numb/apathetic, these are fairly common symptoms of depression as you probably know and can often be addressed without recourse to medication (though meds can often be hugely beneficial).

You should certainly take some advice from those qualified to dispense it, i.e. not me.

Thanks My not sleeping around is my own stupid, moral fault. Cant change who I am but Im sure I will regret it in years to come.

Dangerous Man

I never did the sleeping around thing; it sounds fun and interesting but to me, when I get down to it, it's just a bit sleazy - not for me. I don't want my jizz everywhere.

Only thing which matters to me is the land of my country. Nothing else matters. As long as i die as it is now, i will be happy.

Sea Sharp

Well there's a lot of potential for medical advances in the next 50 years. Artificial organs etc, also there was a scientific journal recently describing how they managed to reverse the aging process in mice.

I'm 70% sure that if I make it to 60, I'll make it to 120.

Oh it will except it will be loyalist seperatists blowing the ****e out of Irish guards and the Irish army.

Apart from that, you won't really notice the difference. :pac:

I'd regret not living aprox 85yrs.

By the time I reach middleage, probably sooner, medical science will have advanced to the stage where dying of old age becomes less of a possibility.

In the next 30 years 90% of cancers will be no more inconvenient than a head cold. Paraplegia will be a thing of the past. I don't don't think we'll see man on Mars. I would put that at 50-60 years. Simple reason is the size of the ship required to stop the astronauts cracking up would enormous. I think we might well see a world currency.

Airplanes will be fully automated with a 100% safety record. Air travel will be a doddle. The hydrogen slush fuel engine will be the norm.

The moon will have a large commercial helium3 mine. It will be powering most of earths electricity stations.

In sport the question of prosthetic limbs will be an issue. It will be the new form of doping, nanotechnology coupled with body part replacement will be a huge issue.

Irish Fire

Maybe it's too long to live?

My only regret is having boneitis!!!

women will be redundant as there will be hot sex-cyborg chicks* and artificial 'grow your own' womb kits.
sandwiches will be automated.

(*with mute button and upgradeable bosoms,posteriors and clams)

this will mean sexual harrassment from women directed towards men, the trend of cok cleavage and the wonder-hammock which will lift and seperate your bean-bag.

funny hearing someone else say something like this, I want to live a long time or forever, if that were possable, but right now it just seems so hard (hurt etc)
