Crossbow.
Reasons: material doesnt effect bolt material, platinum is dense and makes a great bludgeon obviously, and AI xbowers usualy use it as a mace anyway, and having it as an adventurer can allow for 3 skills to level up when you use it. Obviously not in sync, archery helps throwing accuracy also.
For me its hands down the crossbow as a choice.
To bad dwarves dont make mauls.

Cryonics costs alot, even the company sites dont guarantee it to be succesful often using our lack of knowledge of how death works, like cardiac arrest and that legaly counting as death when its not an actual dead heart its just not beating properly, new techniques using a chemical formula like antifreeze (used in car radiators) to prevent the cell walls breaking during freezing of water crystals by replacing the water with the formula, in the sites it doent say anything about the time it takes to get you to the hospital and the team to get there, even still they wait until your heart stops and tgen try to keep you alive by artificialy keeping your heart going so the brain stays 'alive' they then pump your brain full of said formula and then freeze it.
If any damage was done in the procces theu say the future tech will be able to repair the damage done to the brain, still doesnt say anything about the revival of the repaired but still dead body.
 
I can now understand how one could get upset considering the costs. Alcors brain preservation cost are $80,000 and $500 every year. Wow money that could help so much more right now invested in a possibility of life after death.

I will also mention that its a very small amout of people that actually sign up for it and the preservation cost are quote high so its not a very profitable business.

I will also state that if this all worked you can still die in the future.
The possibility of you being revived in the future is also debatable because why would somebody do it to all of the patients? It was a contract made long ago.

Thanks roy.

Im afraid of not dieing. Im afraid I wont end and that because of this I would become insane.
Its most probably due to not understanding myself and eternity properly.
Thats why I like the idea of memory loss and reincarnation.
I really didnt expect this thread to turn into one about anti-deathisim and all that, I just let it go that way because it concerned issues of consciouness and if it can continue.
Im really begining to dislike that my posts in these types discussions are thought of as disrespectful and trolling.
I genuinly try to share my ideas without any disrespect intended.
Fuck I dont know I feel like an idiot.

I am certainly doing my research on it now though

Grek: how about I ask you a question.
What makes you think you wont die?

You also never stated your beliefs so how could I be disrespectful toward them?
Its like talking about clouds and you getting offended at me.
Death is inevetible, I didnt make it this way and I am sorry if what I have said has offended you.

scrdest: yeah true, I will agree with you. As far as global warming goes its not entirely accurate, its only part of the problem. A correct statment is climate change, its not just getting warmer.

Everybody you know will die, you will die, and your internet fingerprint will most probably also be destroyed, nothing lasts forever.
If your belief is that you will never die, please explain your method and share it here. Many seem to want it

I will agree that we wont know of the 'soul' and how a brain works untill we start making that stuff.

We do live in a chaotic universe though, and you cant evade mistakes, you cant ensure you stability.
You will fuck up and your loved ones will get hurt, you will hurt others and it will change your perspective.
I used to wish for immortality, things happened and I changed as a result of it, I no longer want it, sure I will take antibiotics and medicine to stop me dieing now, thats because I dont want to die right now, but I will want to.
Shit it crosses my mind every now and then 'suicide' but as a race its a really common thing to think. I wouldnt do it though.

I think as a race we need to die to let new life evolve, and even if you could transmit your 'soul' and consciousness into an adamantine super bot, you would become an ancient way of thinking and may be seen as barbaric techknowledgy and moraly wrong what you did millenia ago.
Chinas super psychics for example, humans are evolving into something else.
If you havnt heard of them its because they are chinese and the government takes them dead seriously funding with millions of dollars. Look them up dont ask for a citation

Grek: I was using the book metaphor in response to LordBucket but it fits nicely into what I was talking about.

I think the immortality options will be immpossibilities, life extending very possible but if you lived for to long you would no longer want to live. I really think its that simple.
Your Ego isnt you. So sure pump a computer full of your ego and let your great grandchildren play chess with it, they will still treat it for what it its though. A computer.

I think before you try to become immortal, you should first accept that you are going to die so dont twiddle your thumbs waiting for the scientists make you a pill or load you into a usb.
Even then its inevetable because of the nature of the universe we live in.
Personaly I want to die. I want to see if there is anything behind the curtain.

i2amroy: who says its conscious though? Its just a replica of a rat chunk...

Surqimus: I agree

Genesis verse 26
To sum it up, it states god and the multiple other ?gods? Exsist.
"In our likeness"
Another reason to say the bible is the knockoff version of the real thing
