They don't feel the same - it just doesn't inspire me to fantasize about doing anything much longer term than I already am when I imagine living to be 10,000. This may be because I haven't spent enough time fantasizing about living for lengthy, finite periods of time, or it may be because I already think long-term enough to cover that eventuality.
