Just before death you are granted one truthful, understandable answer to one question. What would you want to know?
Just before death you are granted one truthful, understandable answer to one question. What would you want to know?
Obviously a hypothetical scenario. There is no way to pass on the knowledge to anyone else. Time freezes for you only, and once you have your answer you are out of this world.
The question can allow you to see into the past, present and future and gain comprehension of any topic/issue. But it's only one question.
Edit: the point isn't "how to cheat death". You can't. Your body is frozen and there is nothing you can do with this knowledge other than knowing it, and die. So if you would rather be frozen in a limbo just thinking of numbers for eternity, be my guest.
Such a variety of replies, it's been really interesting to read them!
What would you want to know? Personally I'd want to see a timelapse or milestone glimpses of humanity's future until the end of Earth's existence (if we survive that long)

What was the point?
To quote King Missile, "there are no points"
There is no point to life
There is no point to death
There is no point in continuing our meetings
There is no point in not continuing our meetingsThere is no point in going out
There is no point in staying in
No point in gaining weight
And no point in staying trimThere is no point in answering the phone or opening the mail
There is no point in getting drunk or doing drugs
And there is no point in staying soberThere is no point in needing someone
And no point in being alone
There is no point in doing nothing
And no point in not doing nothingThese are all good points, yet none of them lead anywhere
None of them are points at all
There are no points
There is no pointWelcome to existence, where everything is made up and the points don't matter.
Look I thought we just went over this and there is no point. Now you're saying there are multiple?!
To quote Harry Nilsson,
Finally, the two travelers reached what Appeared to be the entrance to the Pointless Forest.
There was a huge stony barrier with A small sign at its base which read " THIS WAY".
Once on the other side of the barrier, Oblio and Arrow had their first encounter with the Pointless Man or the Pointed Man depending upon your point of view.
You see, the Pointless Man did have a point.
In fact, he had hundreds of them, All pointing in different directions.
But as he so quickly pointed out A point in Every direction is the same as no point at all.
And, speaking of points, I don't know if you've ever been to a Pointless Forest but a forest Is a forest and one of the first things Oblio and Arrow noticed about The Pointless Forest was that all the leaves on All the trees had points and all the trees had points.
In fact, even the branches of all the trees pointed in different Directions, which seemed a little strange for a Pointless Forest.
And when the Pointed Man disappeared Oblio and Arrow were left Standing alone wondering what to do next when suddenly, They were aware of a strange sound coming in from the north.
And when they looked up there was a Giant swarm of bees headed straight for them.
So, to seek cover they jumped inside a hollow log. But when the bees attacked the log was jarred loose and it tumbled Down a steep hill and careened and crashed Finally into the base of a most unusual rock pile...
In fact, the Rock Man.
And the Rock Man said, " Say, what's happening with you boys? It looks like you're pretty shook up, been goofing with the bees"?
And Oblio told the Rock Man that they were banished and Asked him whether or not this was the Pointless Forest.
And the Rock Man said, " Say, baby, there's nothing pointless about this gig. The thing is you see what you want to see And you hear what you want to hear - dig. Did you ever see Paris?" - Oblio said, " No". " Did you ever see New Dehli?" Oblio said " No". Well that's it - you see what you want to see and you hear what you Want to hear", said the Rock Man and with that the Rock Man Fell soundly asleep leaving Oblio and Arrow once again all alone.
So they continued on through the Pointless Forest until suddenly, Arrow, who had been running a few yards ahead of Oblio, disappeared into a hole, the point of no return.
Nihilism is based, and if you ever feel down because there's no point, just watch Gurren Lagann and embrace the potential for a better tomorrow through nihilism
To exist.
What an awful thing to do to someone
There can't be a point unless you make one.
Maybe, you get to choose the point. What were the moments that made it all worth it?
What worthwhile moment never faded into oblivion?
You need thinggs to be eternal to matter to you? Tall order.
Depending on your perspective of time, none of them did. All of them happened and are as much a part of reality as any other moment. We may have moved past those moments, but that's only an artifact of our relative position in the timeline.
