damn, how long am I gonna live, anyway?  I never really thought about that.  I’ve got a meat brain, that’s gotta wear out eventually, right?  but the rest of me can go on like forever.  that’s such a weird thought.  I guess I oughta be into the idea of bein maybe immortal but all I keep thinking of is the funerals.

Don't you, like, work with a clockwork dude from the nineteenth century? Maybe start inviting that dude to your game nights.

Aw, fraz. I didn't mean to bring you down, mate.

Consider this. You're already one step - okay, several steps - ahead of the all-meat brigade in terms of a glorious digital existence. When the technology to transfer completely off of organic substrate finally exists, most people you know will be going through that awkward adolescent phase (no offence) of trying to figure out what they can do and how to adapt to a not-so-meaty body, and you'll be just fine right away. You get to be a mentor to everyone around you. So stick around for that - there's no finer feeling.

Also: take good care of those people you know who have the potential to make that digital transfer happen. They're the ticket out of these sort of existential dilemmas, for you and plenty of sentients around you.
