Bernard Williams' Paper The Makropulos Case

To further promote this idea, when people can pursue new and constantly changing absolute desires while their life continues, it seems that eternal life is good. This idea will reappear when we discuss that we avoid boring boredom. Williams is based on the accumulation of absolute desires and asserts that all of these desires are met when we approach infinite time. Satisfaction of these desires is achieved not through "just right" but through satisfaction of "more than enough".

But the immortal problem is philosophically serious - as Barnard Williams wrote in a classical interpretation of a famous article written by The Makropulos in his self-question (1973). This problem is also timely as the concept of "singularities" proposed by technical optimismists (and some technical pessimists) is becoming more and more popular. Life is eternal, or at least until someone pulled us out. It is unclear what they think about the life in the computer, especially whether it is worth living. Chapel and Williams (but not strangely, congested) are involved, but the reality he is maintaining through me is the same as philosophical cheating. It is really big. You will not believe how big it is, incredibly big compared to 'dwarf'

In a famous article, Bernard Williams objected to Epicuras' claim that death was never evil. He believes premature death is unfortunate, but we will never do good. Williams discussed the drama of Karelâāapek. In the play, Elina Makropulos was given a lifelong elixir by her father and lengthened her life for 300 years. In Williams, her life at the age of 342 became boring, indifferent, indifferent. Elina refused to take the elixir again to save her life, and she died. Williams believes that immortal humans will inevitably feel bored or overcome due to repeated experiences
