    Hey everyone, Dan Thomson here from Sensay (https://www.producthunt.com/products/sensay-3)! 👋 Ever wondered what it'd be like to live forever? 🌟 It's a question that's both fascinating and a bit daunting, isn't it? Imagine having unlimited time to explore every hobby, watch every sunset, and maybe even watch the world change in ways we can't yet imagine. But then, there's the flip side— questioning what forever really means. In our journey with Sensay, helping dementia patients preserve their precious memories, we've seen firsthand how the value of each moment can shape our desire for more time. But what if 'more time' could mean 'forever'? 🕰️ What do you think—are the endless possibilities worth the potential challenges? Could our memories keep us anchored in a way that makes eternity appealing, or is there beauty in the natural cycle of life and death? Would you want the ability to end it? Drop your thoughts in the comments below! Can't wait to hear your insights and stories. Let's get this conversation started! 🚀

    I would not like that. Get to see family and friends around me get old and die…nope, not for me. I believe in the journey of souls. We choose the lives we come back to. So In a way we do live forever but in different bodies and lives. That’s just my opinion though

    @vagrantcrypto great discussion Dan. I think the memories live deep in the unconscious. Don’t we use only 10% of our brain? Imagine if we had full access to 90+%.

    @slimmy82 A belief in an afterlife is something truly special. But that in itself is a form of living forever, perhaps unconsciously. Do you think that the unconscious side of that is what makes it ok? Or do those memories survive from one life to the next?

    "Forever" is beyond human comprehension, I'm sure. Why not start with talking about some 100 or some 1000 years, which might well be possible for us if technology/medicine advances fast enough? I certainly would want to live longer than 100 year or so. And if I'm not really suffering, why would I want to die? Even if I would be bored, I don't think I'd want to die because of that. BTW, thanks for that question, deeper thoughts seem to be rare here.
