I would. I could better plan out my life if I knew when and why it would end. If it comes back and says oh you dying 3 years from a brain aneurysm, I can’t be stopped… Then why would I be trying to plan out for retirement? I can take everything I have and live happy for 3 years. Without knowing I feel like my last thoughts would be ‘fuck, I wasted my life’
Probably, yes. Imagine how superhuman you’d feel skydiving without a parachute outside the day of your death knowing you couldn’t die. (plot twist: you spend 10 years in a coma afterwards and still die from doing it :/)
If the prediction cannot be altered I might. Because that way I basically have plot armor until I die.
If that information just reflects the current path I’m on but changes based on my actions I don’t want to hear it.
The latter is an obvious smart deal to take. Just make sure to check yourself for cancer, not walking on a red light etc. according to the thing that kills you. Otherwise do the same. Odds are you would gain more time with your loved ones.
Is it absolutely certain and nothing I can do to change it?
If so fuck yes I’m pretty much immortal tell that date.
oh just because you know when you’ll die doesn’t mean you can go yolo on everything. Getting into a horrific accident and becoming bed ridden for the rest of your life doesn’t count as dying. Imagine laying in bed, body paralysed, knowing that this is the place you’ll spend 30 years in.
You’d still be need to be as careful as usual, just with a painful awareness of how many seconds you have left until the end, and with a curse of not being able to go on your own terms if something terrible happens.
Causality issues aside, yes I would. Makes a big difference if I found out I had 40+ years left vs 5 years left.
