It feels like ages since my last post. Closing has been rather busy, so has keeping up with reading.
It did occur to me that were mankind to realize immortality, his lust for power would be like never before (frankly, what else is there left to do after you spent millennia accumulating wealth and creating a legion of progeny?).
Culture and indeed memories would be become nothing more than a vehicle for a person's ambition, carried throughout time. But what is to say they aren't already? At least, currently with each generation they are gradually distilled to their basic element, survival. I'm not so certain the future could shoulder the ego of cynical immortals. Does that mean history only gets more, and not less, violent?
