3. Right in that “maybe I’m a wizard” range, but not quite forever.
2 A society in which people could live forever would become stagnant. We'd be too risk-averse (can't get on that plane, there's a million to one chance of death - that's too dangerous, and forget about space travel), and new ideas wouldn't be able to filter up if our institutions were lead by the same group of people.
1. I somewhat agree with Steve Jobs' belief that death is necessary for change. Although, I might change my mind when I reach 99! Lol. 🤣 Btw, the ranges are quite wide 🙂. To me, 1,000 years sounds like forever.
I think extreme longevity would turn into a curse. Your personal experience would always end up being at odds with the zeitgeist, as our adaptability is relatively limited and the pace of change is accelerating. In other words, we wouldn't be the source of wisdom people look up to, but rather out-of-touch über boomers
1, assuming health encompasses both mental and physical wellbeing.
2 - There’s a great Sandman issue / episode in which a man chooses to extend his life 100 years repeatedly - much to Sandman’s surprise https://www.polygon.com/23273386/best-sandman-stories-netflix
3. because it should be enough time for me to see humans become interplanetary species and whether or not it's possible to create artificial super intelligence
4 if it meant continuing on the quest to figure out why we exist (and assuming we don’t burn through our resources because of it) Death could be a choice instead of a deadline
4 i think i can take it and honestly believe it would not be so radically different from living 80 years
1 some animals fall into this category, only a few inactive ones into (2), hardwood trees that fall into (3) aren't profoundly adaptive or productive. I'm fine with leaving homunculi behind to act as dynamically as necessary, but ">110y" longevity is just overintellectualized instinct to survive as long as possible.
2 Seems like the time frame you'd get the most out of the time you'd live.

Surprised no said (5. Other - less than 60) Which in my opinion seems most probable given lifestyle choices of people in tech. Also, love the optimism needed to live 60+
