Nah, no way. Even for an immortal being, time is limited. You can never watch every movie, listen to every song, or play every game. They’re made at a faster rate than you can consume them.
If your dream is to meet Oprah and you’re immortal, that doesn’t mean you get to meet Oprah. Oprah is busy. You’re still going to have to bust ass to become important enough to merit an appointment before she dies of old age. There are still obstacles and limits and timers.
You might not meet Oprah, but you’ll probably meet a thousand like her and you will get bored.
I stand by my point that the urgency is created by death and it is extremely hard to separate ourselves from that when we imagine immortality.
The death of your close friends and family will hurt. But after the 1 000 000 death of a close friend, you’ll either be crazy by that point from all the grief, or it will be another Tuesday.
