    I would take this deal. My family would be insanely wealthy when I die the 2nd time.

    That’s just what I assumed having a trillion dollars was like all along.

    I certainly didn’t get it by having human emotions like empathy and happiness.

    No. What’s the point of having money if you literally can’t enjoy it? Hell, what’s the point of *living* if you can’t feel anything from it?

    Another commenter mentioned that it would set up their family, but frankly, that’s not even worth it to me (I say that as a father of 3). I mean, once the deed is done, I would no longer even care if they’re taken care of, or that they exist.

    I just might. In theory, there are things i’d be willing to die for if I can prevent/achieve them. Feeling nothing ever again would be similar to some Kind of death, but by definition, I wouldnt be bothered by that afterwards. And with 1 trillion, I could prevent many bad things and do a lot of good.

    Initially, inertia and habit would keep me good. After a few years of feeling nothing, there is nothing to personally gain from doing good, but there is no benefit to turning evil too. But while “good” and “moral” are subjektive, “ethical” and “sustainable” are more logic-based. If i dont feel good either way, no reason to do something illogical. 

    Also, If it sucks or I notice I loose interest in dooing good. I could just give the money to people I know would do good with it and just become a philosopher in some cave, an unmotivated blob on my couch or just a corpse. 

    But since I assume bedsores or a discus prolapse still hurt and exercise and healthy diet would not feel better or worse than just lying around, I might even get a pretty healthy livestyle.

    I’d just feel sorry for my girlfriend beforehand.

    Definitely not. While it would be nice for depression to go away completely, I live for those positive moments. No amount of money would make losing that worthwhile

    Let’s see, either I don’t take it and life goes on as usual or I get to drop the peoples elbow from the stratosphere (probably gonna cost a bit) on one of my enemies and my family and friends get rich? It’s a a tough choice, but I think you can smell what I’m cookin.

    Feel or have? These aren’t the same thing. I’m alexythemic – I can’t feel most of my emotions. But I still have them.

    No feelings? But I become an emotionless sociopath with the most wealth on the planet? Yes.

    I’d take it. Then I’d find a guy named Jim and we’d have crazy space adventures.

    What about positive and negative physical sensations?

  13. WParzivalW Avatar

    Nope. I’ve been there. Two days after my wife told me she wanted a divorce. Almost killed myself that day.
