-- I further suggest that the section: "Won't it be boring to live forever in the perfect world?" be amended to contain the following statements from "Great Mambo Chicken", p. 97:
"Ordinary life is sometimes boring. So what?"
"Eternal life will be as boring or as exciting as you make it."
"Is being dead more exciting?"
"If eternal life becomes boring, you will have the option of ending it
at any time." -- sentience@pobox.com Eliezer S. Yudkowsky http://pobox.com/~sentience/AI_design.temp.html http://pobox.com/~sentience/sing_analysis.html Disclaimer: Unless otherwise specified, I'm not telling you everything I think I know.
