We’ll say the lottery is over $100M USD and the average lifespan is 75. We’ll also say that quality of life in terms of your body scales, so if you’re 80 you’d have the body of a 40 year old.
I’ll take the lottery, I could do a lot of 100 million dollars. Travel the world, live well, try lots of new/extravagant things.
Twice as long. I feel I’m quite happy with my middle class lifestylr right now so I don’t really need much. I’m quite optimistic about the world’s future so I think I’d very much enjoy the 150 years.
Now implying that my 150 feels like 75. If I’m 150 year old skeleton then I’m taking the money.
id take the lottery, you could still die of random chance at any point, negating the long lifespan. With a 100m id be able to live a pretty nice life, and have enough money to finance my expensive hobbies like crochet, fishing, woodworking xd
Lottery, easy. I don’t want to have to watch everyone I love die while also trodding through the later years with deteriorating health at half-speed (kinda like the reasons why I wouldn’t want to be invincible, but like… you don’t have enough time to go emotionally numb from it like you would from being immortal). I’d rather take the money and live the normal amount of time in better quality.
Living longer would be cool, but I live in the US with no social net, so in reality it would mean I just get to work and scrounge to pay my rent and try to eat and pray I don’t get sick for 150 years until I die instead of working 75 years til I die. I’ll take the lottery. Quality over quantity I guess.
Gotta go with the lottery.
If I live twice as long (even if that’s accomplished by aging half as fast), that means having to work for a living that much longer. I think that I can get more out of life with financial independence than I could with a prolonged life span.
Lottery baby! Why would I want to suffer through life twice as long?
Very fair!
