When You Die...

I'm counting heavily on transhumanism, because when you die you're no longer animate matter, and I've rather enjoyed being animate matter.
 
As you lose consciousness for the last time you will see a green light, and that will be the light from the soylent green machine convyer belt you have just been thrown onto.

Nice to think i will literally be feeding people in the future. ha
 
I am considering adding a proviso to my living will that states that no extraordinary means may be taken to keep me alive, UNLESS said means involve transferring my consciousness into a supercomputer or rebuilding me into a badass war-cyborg.
 
Yeah, and I attempted to have that done some years ago, only I just couldn't take the tube being shoved down my throat. Believe me, there was nothing "relatively easy" about it. If it isn't food drink or medicine it does not belong in my mouth. My doctor ended up having to give me a pill to take at bedtime.

A laparoscopic procedure wouldn't involve anything going down your throat; generally speaking it would involve a small incision near the navel, and the instruments would be fed into your abdomen through that incision. It would be done under general anesthesia.

And in any event, I've had multiple colonoscopies and endoscopies, and for every single one they've knocked me out (I've got a similarly bad gag reflex).
 
I am the light.

(I am also stardust, which some people find hard to reconcile.)

Pfft. We are all made of stars, as Moby (and possibly Carl Sagan) said.

We're also ultimately the universe's roadkill, imho.

Er... On the other hand, that means that life is a unique opportunity, a perfect storm of chemical and biological happenstance, or something. :biggrin:

Oh. I must be thinking of another procedure then. This was more than a decade and a half ago. All I remember was the doctor wanting to shove tube down my throat and take a picture of my insides when this problem first appeared. I tried, but couldn't do it.

Done now report for duty,..

"We are stardust, we are golden
We are billion-year-old carbon...."

Well, more like ten billion, but whatever.

I am oh. OH so much more then cosmic dust I I am infinity divided by zero and I am just starting,..I am the one and know I am the one,...

So what,..

On a good day I know it is all real and true,..

Is the light an oncoming train? If so, then yes, in that case I will die going into the light.

No, then you'll die slightly after going into the light....and into the grille....maybe into the coupler.

Orphan Black episode 1 is good source material for this.
