It may be my personal ultra-pessimistic spin on what is otherwise topic full of diverse interpretation, but I've never had a positive view of living forever, and the idea of living for what could theoretically be millions of years with any number of unpleasant stimuli being simulated in this ad-hoc cognitive mechanism is, to say the least, disturbing.

I suppose hypothetically I could tolerate the mere existence of such a strange physical phenomena so long as it wasn't *me* waking up in that situation, although if there's a positive spin to be given to it, I suppose I could find *myself* in some sort of wonderful heaven. Either way, it's more than a little unsettling to me...
