You find a small, unlabeled bottle. A note attached to it reads: "Drink this and live forever." Do you do it?At first, the answer seems obvious. Immortality! Unlimited time to travel, to learn, to love. A life without the fear of death. It's the ultimate human dream. But what if it's actually the ultimate human nightmare?In this episode, we're putting eternal life on trial. We explore the dark, hidden costs that philosophers and ethicists have warned about for centuries. We'll dive into the psychological torture of unbearable boredom, the terror of watching everyone you've ever loved wither and die, and the terrifying philosophical argument that a life without an end has no meaning at all. Is a life without stakes just an endless, empty game?This isn't just a hypothetical. It's an existential stress test that reveals what you truly value about your short, precious, and fragile life.So, we'll ask you again at the end... would you drink the potion?
