Probably yeah, I can spend a lot of time inside my own mind, the only thing that keeps me from literally vegetating and retreating into my own consciousness is the fact that life is finite

If you told me I could do that for a fucking long time with no repercussions you're damn right I would
The worst part would literally be me having to snap back to reality and coming to terms with the fact that the reality I've built up around myself has to give way to the one where I'm once again just an insignificant blip in the passage of time
Honestly (if it wasn't for the memory wipe) after returning from 500 million years of being ascended I would probably kill myself unless the perfect video game could somehow emulate this feeling of ultimate escapism
The perfect video game would just be the same thing anyways

>I think the human mind would either be able to adapt to it or get so fucked that you won't feel anything either way
you don't know that though. if you're wrong, you're fucked

I think I honestly would, just to experience it

You're not going to ascend in 500 million years of pure loneliness, you're going to go insane by the first day.

You're sitting in a dark void with no food and no bed to sleep in. Just you and your mind. You'll lose all perception of time and eventually all sense of self after 500 million years of isolation. That's far longer than what humans have been on the planet for. Imagine repeating the time span of human history thousands of times.... Except alone, and with no reference point. Just the void.

>all the people in the thread that think its easy and didn't watch the actual video and story

god no. I cannot in good conscience condemn any sentient being to such torture.

It's 500 million years, at some point the insanity would wear off

500

MILLION

YEARS

anything reality can muster my mind can emulate infinitely better, with no need to worry about my mortal form withering and dying I could dream forever
honestly sounds like heaven for me, everything else I enjoy in life is purely a byproduct of the fact that I exist, but given a void where the only thing is my consciousness I don't need any of those attachments nor would they be any more real to me than the idea of them
I could legitimately dream forever, the only downside is that I'd forget about it

It would be like you pressed it and nothing happened besides you instantly having the game though. Literally like nothing happened so I would just press it all the time.

You dont actually experience those 500 million years.

Thanks user. I'm trying to kill time with no sleep before making a fateful and fearful phone call, ironically.

The insanity doesn't "wear off", my dude, it'd completely destroy your mind until you're nothing but a wandering, tortured soul, waiting for the sweet release of death. It'd destroy whatever sense of self and ego you'd built all your life. It took you 20-30 years to build it... 500,000,000 years is a long ass time to completely annihilate it.

Actually, what if this is what happens when you die? No afterlife, just your mind in a dark void for all eternity.

Isn't that ideal, though? My individuality, my consciousness, is all I really have. It's the only thing I'd want to preserve. If death means my consciousness sits in a void for eternity then that's best case scenario, it basically means we'd be immortal.

>tfw the real tragedy isn't that you've been trapped alone for 500 million years, it's that upon the 500 million year mark your ascended enlightened self is wiped away.

if you consider how time seems to pass faster the longer you've been alive due to one year being a smaller and smaller fragment of your overall life it probably wouldn't feel like as long of a time as it is

Shut up pseud. Mental illness is tied to physical degradation in your brain. A metaphysical mind wouldn’t have that problem at all. Nor would it get bored, you only get bored because your physical existence demands it.

after i saw the video i thought about something like that but not with my keyboard, the difference is that the guy who offers the button fully explains it and allows you to consent which is missing from your post

Yup. Wasted knowledge.

>implying all defined mental illness are physical ailments in brain

This is the hardest I laughed at a Yea Forums post in a good time

thats what the character does in the video

he starts learning the universe and its laws

not very smart of him but after a while in the story he begins to learn, he must get a lot done in the 8 billion years, unfortunately it would all go to waste after it ends and he gets his 1 million yen

Honestly this guy is thinking small-time. If he can use his indestructible (or regenerative) tooth to mark the ground he can use his tooth to excavate the ground. You could make entire palaces, museums, skyscrapers, etc. over time. You could make monolithic sculptures and art galleries and even giant complex gravity powered mechanical machines. You could possibly even fashion xylophones and music organs. Having affection and friends in life, but I feel for a lot of creative minded people the end goal is similar to being trapped alone in a room, creating gorgeous works of art for your own fulfillment rather than anyone else's.

If it isn’t, then it’s not illness. Unless there is something physically wrong with you, you are not sick. That’s just jews trying to force herd like thinking by alienating those who think differently

basically you become the god of your reality for 500m years

The catch is that nothing actually happens and you get the money anyway, the sheer fear of being alone for 500 million years is usually enough to scare people from pushing the button

holy shit you're right im not voting yang for sure now, i dont think i was going to anyway but still

no because there is still his timer ticking down until he can leave, he doesn't have complete power if any, all he has is his understanding and intuition to learn

Even if you don't remember anything would you really condemn yourself to living for 500 million years? Do you really hate yourself that much?

>implying that it would be self torture
it´s only self torture if you aren´t creative enough to figure out how to spend the time there, there´s an infinite amount of ways to pass time with just pen (tooth) and paper (tiles). Since it´s your conscience and all, pulling out a tooth wouldn´t even hurt - it´s actually on easy mode since it contains some sort of environment, which can be interacted with. The REAL hard mode would be just existing in the void, but even then, one can find activities to fill in the time

PTSD? Phobia? Compulsive disorders?

Is this something I can learn to do on my own?

How are those not products of physical reality?

At the end of the day it would be as if nothing happened, just like a foggy memory of your childhood that happened 20 years ago and here you are now as if in a blink of an eye.

but thats not what the post said, it said "something physically wrong with you".

Considering my life is worthless, I would push that button.

I am glad to be locked down in an eternal pitch black void, I want to get off from this ride anyway.

But you have to wait 500 million years until the "end of the day"

Even the most autistic /r9k/ incel can't go on for long without something to fill the void.

But you would be forcing someone to do it. Hence,you technically would press the button. OP wins in this scenario.

I assume you mean "end" with a 0? Okay, let's see.

being a failure who skipped highschool playing vidya and getting stoned is not a super power

>all memory of those years would be completely wiped
This literally invalidates the entire thing. It wouldn't matter if it's 500 million or a billion or a trillion at that point. If you don't remember it, and there is no proof of it ever happening, then it didn't happen at all. From the ending point of view, I just pressed a button and got an insanely good videogame.
Furthermore, there is no way to prove that this doesn't constantly happen in the real world. How does anyone prove that they did not spend 500 million years in a void, multiple times throughout the day for their entire life?
Of course I would press it and you would be retarded not to.

Nah dude. But check this 7!

You've already pressed the button, Yea Forums is the time you're paying for. There's a reason you keep coming back

when you get drunk and do stupid shit, for your counciousness it just feels like you drank some beer and woke up straight on the bed
losing your memory of something means it basically is going to feel like nothing happened

I'd rather have a button that instantly erases my existence.

The way OP worded his challenge isn't anything like the video though.
The feeling and weight of a physical body is what you percieve as reality.

Just a floating conciciousness is like what it is to sleep and dream. you can imagine whatever you want to believe is real and it will be over before you know it

apologies for my delay in responding again. sometimes its hard to come back.
I accidentally replied to my own post. I cant tell i've gone back to do something until i decide to do it. I even correct my own typo. Note that i did correctly identify 5 posts later i would respond.

This. There is literally zero downside to pressing it. I'd press it in a heartbeat. And I'd do it multiple times if i'm able.

user... have you taken your lithium today?
I'm worried.

>Implying you know what OPs intention is.

If you just go back to your body with no memory of the 500 million years then it may as well have not happened.
It could happen to everyone all the time and nobody would ever know so why not press the button?

I wouldn't do it.
The moment I press the button, my "self", who existed since birth, is replaced by a copy with my memories.
My actual "self" would have to go through the 500 million years, and after 500 million years pass my "self" just vanishes, and in my physical body is just a copy with my memories.

Prove to me you have not already spent 500 million years in a void.

You should play Soma.

That's not the point. If you don't push the button, then nobody would have to experience 500 million years. Since your autism thinks 'oh well you might now know it xP' not pressing the button still means that 1 less self is getting their ass reamed

Yes, and in that instance "you" will 100% lose the coin toss.
You won't get to enjoy the 1,000,000 yen.

That's a rule you just literally made up

Not necessarily. If we're treating consciousness like data on a hard drive, why can't this all-powerful button open up your metaphorical control panel, disable your perception, slow down the rate you experience time, and then erase any changes in memory when it's over? No copy is made, it's all you.

It isn't.
Your consciousness exists because of continuity from the moment you first had consciousness to the present.
Break that continuity and your consciousness is no longer.

God are you dumb, if you drink too much and can't remember a thing from the night out or somebody hits your head hard enough, you think you are a new person?

If you can still "experience" in your moment of sleep (i.e. dreaming), then no, you haven't lost your consciousness. It is just contained in your mind.

Fucking this.
The experience is way more valuable, even If you forget everything.

how can an experience that you will forget by the end of it be meaningful?
inb4 "that's literally life and death", but if you put it into a smaller timeframe, like you get to watch a great movie an evening but you will forget everything about it the moment you step out of the cinema, what would be the point?

Unironically this. Million of years with nothing but your mind? That would be a real version of the worst circle of hell. Like Jesus fuck, you'd literally go insane multiple times and be completely broken. Doesn't matter if you remember it, your mind would be so shattered that even when returning to reality, you'd practically be braindead. Yes even if you don't remember anything. A shattered mind does't really depends on memory.

Hell yeah I would press it. 500 million years to think of the perfect YGO cards. 500 million years to grow a galaxy brain. Each attempt giving me another chance to transcend time and space. Each chance also giving a literal 10/10 video game.

There is virtually no downside to this as a nihilist.

Well the version of me that gets tortured into insanity functionally will have never existed, so why not. The regrets will be many, but the suffering will be pointless.

There is a short story by King called The Jaunt. It's about new teleport technology that will cause this. To the world you are teleported in an instant, to you it's billions of years and you remember everything after you are back.

Another short story by Asimov is about a powerful being that places a human into this state, the story's name is The Last Answer. Great story worth a read.

Source?

You mixing up "dreaming every night" with "always dreaming while asleep"
just look it up

Consider this. It is possible, and common, for people to be unconscious. Unconscious literally means "not conscious".

Explain people like me, who do not remember our dreams?
Sleep is literally a break for me. I lay down, and then I get up. I don't experience any significant passage of time.
I do dream sometimes, but it is less than once a month and closer to once a year thing.

My theory is the guy with the 500 million year button takes that knowledge for himself

????
literally google "sleep cycles " and pick any random article you retard
do you need a source for ww2 happening too?

?
Unconscious means you can't perceive the real world.
It doesn't take in consideration the fact that you can still experience without perceiving reality.
Like I said, you immediately forgot the dreams you had and associate it with a dreamless sleep.
All the sources I see mention that dreams mainly occur in REM sleep, but are not exclusive to that stage.

You dream every single night. Everyone does. You just haven't trained yourself to remember dreams so your mind completely erases your memory of them just before your internal clock wakes you up.
If someone or something wakes you up WHILE you're dreaming your mind won't have time to forget anything. If you really want to remember your dreams the easiest way is to set up an alarm clock at like 3 AM or something.

wat

It did happen, it is your consciousness that suffers and not your physical self. Basically, it's a problem only Buddhists understand

It doesn't matter, you idiot. You go back to normal when those years are over. You could go full Mad Hatter and it wouldn't matter in the end.

If I do not have any conscious awareness of it, who is to say that I even have continuity of consciousness without actively scanning my brainwaves at every single hour?

Continuity of consciousness means that you are experiencing all the time.
It doesn't matter if you're vaguely aware of the experience, only that your consciousness experienced it and didn't break off.

I second this.

I kinda understand this: being able to "control" the perception of time. Cos the same amount of time can feel faster or slower depending on what you're doing.

Playing videogames is fun. Time goes faster.
Being in a school class is boring. Time goes slower.

But what if we could control this time perception? What if fun times could be slower and boring times be faster? I don't think it's possible with our current technology, but what if it was a way? We could become masters of our lives, letting the boring moments fly by and staying in as much bliss as possible.

It would be the perfect world.

you still experience the 500 million years in those 500 million years. so it still sucks cock before you forget it

Your mind goes back to the instant you pushed the button. The 500 million years don't exist after you've done them.

If I wont remember it what difference would it make?

You'd break down into a gibbering wreck in less than 10 years.

The Power Nap Nigger

and in 499,999,990 more it wouldn't even matter

At one point you would stop thinking, full stop. Complete cessation of the brain activity sans the basic necessities for survival (breathing, in this case)

Time would flow much, much faster since there is no consciousness to measure time. Your time perception would indeed become so dilated that years could feel like seconds to you at this point.

Why not, it effectively just means you push a button and get perfect vidyas. You don't remember 500 million years of being in a void after its done and you go back to right when you pushed the button so it literally only does a good thing. Even if you go insane 10 minutes in, it's irrelevant and that probably just makes it go by faster

you think that but if you look back to the stephen king short story the jaunt it doesnt seem like it would be the best thing to do, i dont recommend reading it all just the wiki synopsis

why write it? Just give in to the delusions until they feel entirely real to you. You'll begin to hallucinate worlds and eventually master them.

Have you ever had surgery where they put you under? It's the same thing. Your body is laying there experiencing the agony for hours, then you wake up as if nothing happened. It literally doesn't matter. It would be like torturing someone then wiping their memory each day. It is meaningless what happens before the memory wipe.

brainlet

You can do that on DMT. I've spent several eternities on ayahuasca and experienced what it's like to be insane forever. It's a mercy that memory fades over time because god help me if I had to live with the full memories of those experiences.
The thing about time in states like that is that you don't experience it linearly, which is to say that time doesn't really exist for you. You're in a sense isolated from the elements of reality that allow you to experience time. Your awareness itself is isolated from the phenomenal world and thus relativity. What you're left with is the impression of eternity - not eternal time, but no time. If I had come out of those trips to find that a billion years had passed it wouldn't have surprised me in the least, but was just a few hours.

What if we don't exist at all and it's just an illusion seeing an illusion of itself?

Awareness is existence. You can't be duped into thinking you are aware because there would have to be an awareness to be duped in the first place. You're either aware or you're not.

>random japanigger

I know, but it's impossible to talk about these things without sounding a little bit coocoo. It's so far outside of any other type of experience. The language for it just doesn't exist

You know those fidget toys that started popping up around three years ago? You ever wonder why you feel so satisfied after you push them?

No memory no buy.
I'd love to spend 500 million years completely free of normalfaggotry, jewish tricks, and 20tickrate matchmaking cancer. But if I don't remember any of it, then it's pointless.

wait what, bannerlord is releasing in 6 months?

you'd go crazy after 2 days, edgelord

I would not. I'd be more relieved than anything.
Now, after 20 years? Possible. After 1000? Plausible. After 50,000? Likely.
But in all likelihood, I'd prefer the new mindset to the old one.

what fucking video

With that much time, you'd eventually learn to relinquish resistance and come to terms with your situation

are you fucking blind

The scariest thing is that if you're conscious while inside the empty world then it means you're going to kill yourself, because if you waited it all out you wouldn't remember

Wouldn't your mind deteriorate that even when you do leave the void, you'll basically be too dsyfucntional to live life even if you do forget it all from ever happening?

I've already relinquished resistance and come to terms with my situation in this 3dpd world.

>you're still missing out on what good there is in the world
I know. But at the moment, the things that bring me the most joy in this world are seeing other people suffer.
This isn't because I'm a sadist. I am very much crippled by empathy for other human beings. But I've learned over time to cope with it by just learning to enjoy other people getting hurt.
There's no other way. People hurt themselves constantly. Every time someone plays Skyrim, or Dark Souls, or Breath of the Wild. Every time someone respects a roastie. This world is full of people with low standards and shit tastes, and it's suffering to look at this world and see people willingly subjecting themselves to it.
I'd like to see it all burn just so people can be free of this madness.

Buttons are either close the circuit or leave it open, there is no “half”

For 500 million years you do not age, you do not need to eat, you do not need to drink water, and potentially you do not need to breathe. For that your body needs to be essentially in stasis, which means potentially your brain does not adapt to the time abyss you just put yourself into. I wouldn't risk it, ever.

I think the people who approach this problem with a solution of creativity miss the point. You cannot be creative without an original source of inspiration to draw from, so even if your old memories carry over, they won't last long. Now, sure you could craft new ones from what you know, but in this kind of environment what would ultimately happen is a complete stillness as in meditation, so all those random thoughts in your head go away and you experience perception itself. If you did somehow reach enlightenment though (extremely hard through just meditation), the length of time left wouldn't matter. You have already reached your destination, so no matter what happens, you'll be in a state of perfect happiness and there's nothing outside this mysterious realm you even want, so it wouldn't even matter at all. And once you're enlightened, you stay that way for good.

This is why it's not as bad as it sounds. In fact, I'd wager that sooner or later you would stumble into meditation having nothing else to do, and so enlightenment is the only realistic result here. Not a bad deal at all IMO.
