Maybe you would work, since you have such a shitload of experience you could make so much money, but what would you do with the money once this civilization becomes extinct? All your years of work = useless.

Would you learn? You could study a vast array of things and learn more than anyone else. But what good would that do you? Its not like medical advancement would save you from anything, or technological advancement would make any difference in the long run.

Where would you go? So you'd just shoot off around different planets for all eternity. If you got stuck on a planet, maybe in a million years you'd be able to develop something to get you off there, but then where the hell would you go? Wouldnt you just be doing the same thing over again?

Who would you be with? Sure, you could have temporary friends, but while you stay the same they constantly are changing and dealing with living life as a mortal, getting old, wanting to be young again, retiring, dying... Nobody could relate to your situation.

In the end, you are extending something that is pointless and making it last forever, which makes it even more pointless.

My best bet is you would end up slaving away at medical scientific advancement. Desperately trying to find a cure. A cure for immortality, which of course you would never find.

Sorry man.. But thats a big load of bullshit..

The negative side to endless life your talking about only exists in your mind because you have mortal emotions.. You dont want to outlive everything else, you feel it would be a bad thing to scoot from planet to planet starting civilisations on each as you go.. Why would you work either?

Whenever you start a civilisation, you would be god.

Technological advancement would improve your lifestyle vastly aswell.

Nothing youve said is really all that negative man... Your just looking at it from a primative mindframe...
