What does your future hold?

Okay. It's Friday, September 18. I'm just sitting back waiting on this Laker game and I had a thought that came to my mind. So I want to share with you guys and as ask everybody if you could know anything about the future, your future, what would you like to know and why? For me, if I could know anything about my future, I would want to know how and when I die

You know that brings up another question. If you found out how you were going to die and the way that you were going to die was just something that was just horrific. Your worst nightmare. Would you consider suicide to avoid that

No, you're changing the question. Don't have me pull it to one on you. No, seriously. If you knew you were going to die a certain and waive. This is what you knew and this is your fate period. The only way you could change that is to die another way. Would you choose to die your own way? I

Well, see, that's the whole thing. Once we know. Okay, let's say you did find out you were going to die a horrific death. How would you know which decision it was out of the millions of decisions and trillions of decisions you're going to make between now and that time, which one of those decisions was the one that caused that horrific death all the time? We don't know what choice it is that we make. That's going to have a lasting effect

So I kind of believe in Murphy's law. If things could get worse, they would. So just let things be. Is that even attainable? It's great that you suggested it, Robin wishful thinking, but still cool if it happens. But I don't think we should be requesting for Wall Street because people can be cordial with each other and actually hate each other. So I would instead maybe provide all human beings with an ounce of common sense

How long do you think you're going to live? And I have to look like, okay, how long did my grandmother live? How long do family members live? Will I make it that far? Because it's like this. If I'm only going to live for another ten years. Dude, I'm retiring now, and I'm just going to go enjoy the world and say goodbye to everyone and just chill and just read my books, do my podcast

You mean to tell me if you knew the day that you were going to die, you wouldn't be curious as to how how you were going to die that day. Of course you would. You wouldn't even be just a little curious

I couldn't possibly bring myself to do that. However, maybe if you have those guys who are there in prison to shoot someone to death and you have assigned individuals, maybe they have some psychological issue and they need to get the violence in them out through an appropriate quote, by the way, an appropriate outlet. And let's say there was a law which says this guy needs to be stoned to death

Hey, Antoine, as far as my curiosity as to how I die, I think honestly, I just assumed it would be a normal, crazy death up, like either cancer or which will stop. But cancer? I don't know, heart attack, some kind of a health condition because most people die when their bodies give out and your bodies give out

It's nice to see that we still have positive, hopeful people like you, Robert. I'm just on the civic of the fence, but if it is sustainable, then great. Let me just offend you anyway, by my statement there. Yeah, that's my take on it. Thank you. Bye

As far as what you were saying, Robin, about peace. You were saying that it's not idealistic to see the end of military action in your lifetime. Well, that's cool. I don't know if I think it is a little bit idealistic, but that's good. There's nothing wrong with that. You're optimist. There's nothing wrong with that. But how do you fight for peace? I don't know

I think that's the thing I would like to have as foresight for the future is to see how my kids do, because we all as parents want their kids to do better than us. So that's what I'd like to see. Bye

Hello in Taua Mtwadamela. So it seems like you've asked two questions. So let me see. The first one is something about your future up, what is in your future? And what would you like to know about your future? Something along those lines. I think I was thinking, you know what I'd like to know about the future? How far is humanity going to go? Are we going to discover something that will make us live a lot longer?

Yeah. This is for RC Gooner. Yeah. I feel you on that one. I mean, that's that's something. And for what Aid said just to to be able to see if humanity it makes it to go. But how far Aid would you go into the future to see? Would you go? 1000 years, 2000 years. But that's pretty interesting. I That's pretty interesting. I thought about that myself

So I'm going to step out of this conversation because, really, I can't think about things anymore that just have no control over, even to think. Oh, man. I wish I knew where my future was. Just spending time on things I cannot. Control is not productive for me, at least. So I'm going to step out from here. It's been fun. It's a good conversation. It's a good thought provoking thing

Yeah. Hey, thanks for being part of the conversation. It was only meant to be just a fun topic. I really didn't think it would go this long. Actually, I thought it would probably be. Ooh. Sorry that's a few more people on, but yeah, it was just meant to be fun just for yesterday
