I deffo don't think eternity sounds awesome, but I wouldn't mind an additional one or two thousand years. In a youthful body, obvs. If they really get that genetics thing happening, it's something that might be possible. Not for us, probably, but sometime in the vaguely not-too-far-off future.
But like, if we lived longer than like 80 years, think about all the progress and tech we'd see happen. That'd be pretty cool. And if we still had young bodies, we'd have time to try more careers, if we want. Learn more shit. Travel more places - even other stars.
Yeah, kinda sci-fi shit, but like..... That's where we (as in humanity) would surely head if we could.
But yeah. Fuck eternity. The experiences and life we have now would mean less if there was forever waiting for you around the bend. That can also be said of living a lot longer, I suppose - knowing we don't have long sure makes you appreciate the time we do have.
