Storing energy may be useful one day, let's not confuse propoganda with information...

The people that can afford it and want to live forever, use cryogenics; but even that's not future proof, the only thing we can be sure of (a universal truth), is that everything changes. But you've yet to explain why you think it would be beneficial, what do you think can be learned from a corpse? What's happening now, is all we can know; so you have two choice's, pray for a better tomorrow or work for it. Waisting energy on trying to stop time, is nothing more than a prayer... 😉

Of course not, it's completely subjective; but I'm content to live with that...

I think it does, the purpose of life is to live; to be content with life has a purpose. It's up to you, to provide a purpose while you live; the purpose of death is to feed the living...

Is it though? We can't cross the same river twice, philosophically; yet we cross that bridge everyday...

"Is the earth really our planet"? Yes, unlike microbe's or fish (or dolphins) we do get to decide it's future, at least in part; it won't be forevermore, but we do get to decide the time scale of our existence.

I think pride is muddying the water's here, humility-vs-arrogance is more relevant. It's easier to see the virtue of being humble, when faced with a 'white van man'. But as Phi eluded too it's also easy to seek revenge on such people, rather than trying enlighten them to the benifit's of accepting one's limitation's; humility does not equal humiliation. Humiliation often leads to vengeful retaliation, rather than understanding.

MEH, bury them don't bury them, the buzzards gotta eat as well as the worms; but who doesn't like a BBQ???

It all point's to a dolphin influencer...

Didn't the creator design life to be lived and death to furtilise or be recycled into more life? So, in seeking to preserve the dead, you've perverted the creator's plan; such dirty language... I understand that people are more important than a dog, and some people are more important than other people; but no-one is important enough to not fear the reaper.

No shit Sherlock, now please explain why/how dead people's remains (even the great one's) can provide more information, than what is already understood about their lives? And your answer can not be, because they leave their bodies to science... For obvious reason's.

My first thought was, after a quicky...

All I can promise is a single malt.

Can I play?

I don't know, can you avoid being biased?

I think the same was true of Buddha and what's also (probably) true is, those who were taught well enough to achieve enlightenment/understanding went on to add too the wisdom. But as I said, prophet's are rare, and only they can break the convention. Here's a thought of a friend of mine: And I think a fixed resilient language is key, as I think the prophet Muhammad recognised, in the way the he sought to freeze the language of the Quran.

I'm thinking, what's his/her dark side?

No, religion is just the culture within which the politicians ply their trade.

I don't deny that.

I only feel sorry for those who aren't content with what they find.

In a very real sense, my only legitimacy exists in your eye's; an ism just seeks to blind us.

A stick in a termite mound, kept them alive... 😉 Causality suggests you're talking bollox...

I think it show's a great deal of arrogance.
