For example, we are guaranteed to suffer the loss of all human contact by virtue of outlasting everyone else.

But of course that's with the understanding that there's a large chance that no one ever would ever read it. But I think it would help me believe that I'm not leaving this earth without attempting to pass on some type of knowledge to the future inhabitants. Regardless of whether it's read, I would find it consoling.Lance Eglynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7609541124817386376.post-70214419422450438642016-02-16T13:40:28.246-06:002016-02-16T13:40:28.246-06:00"What issues in philosophy would still intere..."What issues in philosophy would still interest you, if the disappearance of humanity were nigh?"<br /><br />I would definitely still be interested in existentialist questions.

Which if your idea of a horrible time is being stuck in a rut thin immortality would be the worst thing for you. How ever I believe that most people like routines, I for one do, and because of this they might find an immortal life like living an ordinary life over and over and over and over.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12267919853006982562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7609541124817386376.post-13013776962509426792016-02-16T12:02:38.387-06:002016-02-16T12:02:38.387-06:00"I am seeing my world without the Instagramme..."I am seeing my world without the Instagrammed filter of breezy certainties and perfectible moments.
