On
the Internet, even a five year old knows he can play with many personas.
Since Mortalism allows for
only one persona, this is very Post-Mortalist. The Immortalist Society
will carry this to its logical conclusion: it will officially recognize
multiple personas.
If God can have his Trinity, so shall we..
– Elixxir
In our Immortalist future, we will all live multiple lives and perform
multiple personas. Only a Mortalist fool will want to live one life,
one persona at a time.
We Immortalists are inherently scandalous. In the Death Society
we live in, to openly desire to stay
young forever is the biggest scandal.
Immortalist Art does not preach.
It does not try to conform every human life into the predictable
and didactic "tragedy" or "farce" structure.
It sees that every life, especially a long and challenging one,
will have its ups and downs. That, a life without "scanda"is
not worth living. That with the advent of the long-lived Immortalist
lifespan, there is always a second act, and a third, and a fourth
act. That Immortalists do not judge every setback or mistake as
"failure" or character flaw. "So an Immortalists
always gives himself another chance unlike the self-flagellating,
self-hating Mortalist. Immortalist films, plays, literature and
journalism will go beyond Mortalist "tragedies"and "farces"
which are mere morality plays from the middle ages, tired and bankrupt
strictures.
