I think it would be really cool if you could study history; how civilizations rise and fall and how humans and the world evolve over millions of years (as long as we keep from blowing it up in the near future).

</wishful thinking>

75 years is such an insignificant speck in the history of the world.

It would be really cool if we could do any number of things after we die. However, until there is any real evidence whatsoever, I continue to maintain that such thoughts are the product of wishful thinking.

sometimes I wish I could put myself in deep freeze/stasis/something and see what the world is like centuries later. the relative briefness of our minds really depresses me sometimes.

Why don't you go and see if this happens right now?

actually 75 years, 3/4 of a century, is a fair chunk of time in the course of civilization, being several centuries in the making

that pretty much sums up my original post, much more eloquently though.

Yes I would like to be able to experience allot of things both past and future, someone close to God please tell him we should be allowed to experience life in other people?s shoes after we die.

I'd like to be able to go back and see how things would turn out if i made different choices... of course, i believe in reincarnation, so in a sense i guess i would get to do that

I tend to agree, Sturm. I feel like there is going to be a whole lot of interesting stuff happening in the future, and I'd like to be here to see it.
