The billionaire's way to die: 12K feet underwater

Nope, every time I see Futurama heads in a jar it worries me.

However... I can't imagine why I'd have a brain implant at my age but I'm wealthy enough to afford exotic stuff. Who is to say that while this mind of jelly will perish my quantum system self won't still be telling LacesOut he/she is an idiot the day some cosmic mercy kills me. :)

Would it be me? Probably, in the same ship of Theseus way I am me though likely don't have many atoms in common with my young self.

Or.. Hibernation? Getting close to that as a reality even now. Get bored enough to sleep fifty years away and start again with bad knee a thing of the past? Then live what is then a normal lifespan? Futurama again.. Well it's Fryday..

I've read your post a few times, and I'm still not quite sure I understand.

Well Fry is the guy who fell into a stasis pod for a thousand years in Futureama. The heads in jars.. ..

I don't actually think I'm going to live to 263 or so, just it's something that was mentioned by a cracked insomniac Irish gipsy lady in a caravan.. During a full moon... During a thunderstorm... At 3am. It was a weird night. It started as an offer of cups of hot tea as we were soaked, got weird.

But say one was planning to be around a long time, I'd go for hibernation as I really like my naps.

Ultrasonic hibernation triggering discovery.

"Scientists have developed new ultrasound technology that can induce immediate “hibernation”, they say.

The system can be aimed at the head and bring on “torpor” a state similar to hibernation where mammals suppress their metabolism, reduce their body temperature and slow down other processes."

I'm not sure I'd want my brain pickled in a jar. Makes for a sour disposition.



See what I mean?

Are you smoking something?

How would a stablecoin have changed the outcome of this expedition?

Okay, wait a minute...

Nevermind
 
At least this dude was already 70 years old:

Billionaire heir dies in car track accident

https://www.aspentimes.com/news/jim...in-accident-sunday-at-woody-creek-race-track/

Jim Crown died Sunday on a Woody Creek race track, on his 70th birthday.

The chairman and CEO of Henry Crown, and managing partner of Aspen Skiing Co., struck an impact barrier in a single-vehicle accident at the Aspen Motorsports Park in Woody Creek, according to the Pitkin County Coroner’s Office.

“The official cause of death is pending autopsy, although multiple blunt force trauma is evident,” the Coroner’s Office said in a statement. “The manner is accident.”

Elon wants to die on Mars. Some other guy has just died next to Titanic. (if they turn up to be alive, my apologies and cancel this thread) Hamis Harding, 58-year-old British adventurer runs Action Aviation, a Dubai-based private jet dealership, and has completed several exploration feats.

"He also said the Titanic dive had been meant to take place in June 2022 but was delayed because "the submersible was unfortunately damaged on its previous dive". He said no-one was injured in the incident.

Asked about his appetite for exploration, he said: "My view is that these are all calculated risks and are well understood before we start."

Mind you, the freaking sub didn't even have physical knobs, just iPads and electronics. Kinda silly to die because of a dead battery or something mundane.

But wait, there is more, another idiot, killing of his son too:

"British businessman Shahzada Dawood, 48, is from one of Pakistan's richest families. He was travelling with his son, Suleman, a 19-year-old student, on the sub."

"Paul-Henry Nargeolet, 77, a former French Navy diver, was also on board."

At least he was old and had his life already. But dying with billions when you have another 25 years to go??

-------------------------

They had oxygen for 96 hours, but if you kill the others, that increases 3-4 times. Just a thought to consider...
