The amount of people here that seemingly don't care about quality of life is shocking to me. What's the point of drawing out negative experiences to potentially infinity?

One of the tricks that immortality plays to you, is that no matter how much you screw up, you still have an infinite lifespan remaining to fix everything, including the fuckups of an infinite lifespan (uncountable infinities/cantor's diagonal argument).

For example, let's say your eyesight deteriorates every 100 years and there is a cure that will take 2 years of your salary to fix. Add this up until you spend most of your life maintaining your immortal body.

I haven't seen this on here. Can you cite an example?
