There's no way he's gonna achieve his dreams
This dude looks like he's 1000 years old.
Aubrey: I want to try to live to 105
Joe: I want to try DMT ( ͡◉ ͜ʖ ͡◉)
I really don't think you can get bored forever after some time threshold if you're biologically immortal. For starters, biological immortality is not the same as true immortality since someone can still die if there's enough trauma. A disease can also still do someone in, really biological immortality means they don't die from age-related issues. So there is still an expected life span except it'll most likely be higher than if there were still aging. The other issue is more practical, in that the brain is still a finite storage device. Even if the brain could somehow be magically repaired, there is still an upper ceiling of total connections and neurons within a set volume of space. There will be a point where, to make space for new memories, some memories would have to be discarded or compressed, creating gaps where an old experience eventually appears new. And people get bored all the time yet somehow they later find something else to do as entertainment, sometimes repeating old activities. Monks is a counterexample to the whole boredom argument.
If I was only listening to the audio I would’ve assumed this guy was drooling the entire time he was speaking
