Some say if we lived forever even in perfect health that it would eventually be meaningless. — TiredThinker

Meaningless in what way? Is living all about meaning? Whatever happened to getting out of bed, getting ready for work, and coming back home and having a nice meal? Funny because if there's anything in life that gets such a high demand, it is this thing called meaning. Big deal!

Many people have a propensity to waste an enormous amount of time with the limited lifespan we have at the moment. If you give these people the eternity to live, they'd be just as happy to stay put and not be productive.

Honestly I really don't get this requirement for meaning. I don't search for meaning in life. I just live it. If I get to live forever, then, I'd live forever and go about my business. Heck, I'd plant bristlecone pine that can live to 5,000 years. I'd also start planting coral reefs -- which takes many thousand of years to line the tropics.

"Boredom" has to be experienced less intensely, or negatively, by an "immortal" without existential urgency than by a mortal with existential urgency. Also, this .

Boredom can be a friend also. It offers better directions sometimes. Shorter term priorities.
