depends the type of immortality. Absolute magical immortality: worse hell imaginable. Never age: Best immortality, can still die though, accumulation of injuries will be an issue.

when people argue immortality bad from the assumption that its magical indestructible immortality it always feels disingenuous, because its literally impossible. any form of immortality thats achievable in reality will be the live forever but can still die variety, so there will always be the threat/promise of death by some means, however difficult. it bothers me because its used as an argument against seeking biological immortality in real life, like theres some cosmic purpose to us dieing after such a short life and actually living much longer than we do would suck, and people should be happy they get old and wrinkly and die. it wouldn’t suck it would be awesome because we’d live to see other planets, other stars, fucking aliens. I could go on but yeah, immortality good, impossible hypothetical infinite torture irrelevant.
