Heaven would be good

[Amine]

I think people are still projecting. The problem about who we are today is our lack of control over what we feel. I can't just choose not to be bored if I am at some lame event that seems to be taking forever. That lack of control, however, shouldn't be seen as absolute. Whether by magic (in religion) or technology, it's something that we should think of in this thought experiment as being under our control. By definition, heaven won't get boring. Whether it is meaningless is another question. I'm of the position that everything already is pretty much meaningless, so the idea of spending eternity blissfully doing nothing bothers me slightly less than for those who think human shibboleths are the only thing a person could possibly be happy about, and for a limited amount of time at that. Of course, we could program ourselves to enjoy them eternally, but isn't that equally meaningless? That said, I agree with David Deutsch that there will eternally be new discoveries to be made, and I don't actually think I would ever opt to blissfully do nothing forever.
