You might be an immortalist if...

...you meet someone who doesn't know who Aubrey de Grey is, and it shocks you.

...you make plans for what you will be doing on your 1000th birthday party.

...you have actually acquired a taste for some of the more disgusting tasting supplements out there.

You might be an immortalist if...

...you lie awake at night worrying about the impact of continental drift on your property purchase decisions

...you daydream about impressing women in a bar a million years into the future in some far off arm of the galaxy, by telling them you are one of the original Earth-born humans from the days of pre-immortality, back when men were real men with permanent death lurking around every corner and where your days were spent wrestling crocodiles and riding dinosaurs.

You might be an immortalist if...

...eighty years of life doesn't sound that much longer than 15 minutes of fame.

...you just have to be careful with your consciousness until you can get it properly backed up.

Hmm...

You might be an immortalist if...

- For mind games, you skip the scrabble and sudoku and instead try to figure out how to keep entropy to a minimum.
- Organic isn't good enough for you.
- You take more pills daily than you have fingers and toes.
- You get 917% of your recommended daily consumption of PhD publishings in 45 minutes, and still remain conscious.

And for a twist, You might be Ray Kurzweil if...

You're afraid of tap water, deodorant, and cell phones.

You might be an immortalist if ... if you took the blue pill instead of the red pill, which would also explain what you're still doing here.

You might be an immortalist ... if you calculate that it far more efficient to donate sperm that it is to find a willing woman with whom to spend 20 years raising kids.

You might be an immortalist ... if you're happy to let Caston take care of the sperm donation while you are out finding willing women with whom to spend 20 minutes practicing the act of making kids. [tung]

20 minutes... damn it man... talk about making it a quickie!
