If you can switch life/body

[Efilismislife]

If you can switch life/body with anyone you want, endlessly, would you find this life good/would you continue living?

 

[rationaltake]

I'd definitely give it a go. Bit unfair on the ones I swap with though. Presumably they'd get stuck with the crummy body I have now or the clapped out bodies after I finished with them?

 

[deathisnear]

I would switch with a dead person

 

[friendofbirds]

i think i would be equally miserable in a different body

 

[jamie_]

i would only switch with my lover. i dont wish to be anyone else. i like many aspects of myself that i wouldn't want to lose but i just can't function anymore thats all. i dont see any point in being anyone else because it wouldn't be me. i just want to be me but well.

Yes and no, yes in that my body face especially I find disgusting to look at. And likely led to my complete self destruction. But no in that even in the best case scenario there is still oging to be AI, GPT and its successors thus a dearth of individual innovation and human mental processes, deep fakes of dead relatives scamming people (Amazon can now fully replicate voices with minutes of recording), generally society becoming worse and more manufactured. Privacy becoming ever more external and public.
So "life" has to include a complete different existence to match the mind the body is in too.

 

[Zegers]

Yes, life and wrong body is a big part of my problem so that would be a likely solution.

I sometimes think switching body is actually forbidden knowledge that was practiced in the past. Modern people are too overwhelmed with material success they lost touch with the spiritual pathway.

 

[lofticries]

Too self conscious to have someone in my body.

 

[SantaTeresa]

I'll switch in a heartbeat then kill the other sob, no one will mourn an unknown body, another poor fella can handle the case in my place.

That's peak comedy.

 

[FuneralCry]

No. I do not want to exist at all and nothing could ever make me want to live. Being trapped in a human body is torture to me. I simply do not like thinking, feeling and experiencing things and there is also an unlimited amount of pain we can experience. To me the thought of non existence is preferable to any kind of life.

 

[NotYourFriend]

I'd switch to be a better version of myself, both physically and psychologically, but with similar idiosyncrasies.

So true.

 

[Fragile]

I would definitely love to have this ability. To experience the perspective of a healthy person is my biggest dream.

Besides, the mischief I could cause with it...

 

[summers]

Yeah, in a second...

 

[HappyForever?]

Swap with someone attractive, and I would be happy instantly.

 

[Arrow]

honestly, fuck no. i care too much about the random little things i've accomplished and other people's lives just aren't interesting to me at all. i'd rather have someone else's wealth to do what I wanted with.

 

[Klophy]

If i was able to swap yes, I daydream alot about this. I struggle a lot with my body and aspects of my life.

 

[gottablast888]

i put no but i just thought about it and id like to be an animal on another perfect peaceful planet

 

[Burner1234]

Yeah, I would. That or give me a time machine so I could warn/force my younger self to not make the same mistakes I did.

I'd switch to be a better version of myself, both physically and psychologically, but with similar idiosyncrasies.

Something like this could work, too.

 

[Efilismislife]

But when you switch wouldnt your mental state could change as well being happy like them...

 

[disillusion]

No not if i have to still have my own personality and my way of attitudes or how i think or feel. Body does not matter. World will still be same cruel fucking annoying place anyway even if I am in hot model body. Sure i would get laid more so what. Sure i would be surrounded by luxury but that does not change nothing because i still grow old and i still hVe to deal with life itself. Stil have to eat. Etc ( or fetch food or cook or if rich have to tell personal chef to what to cook) or still have to deal with People. If not filthy rich still have to work as slave. Stil have to deal with family or public or People or not. Still have to live by customs and rules of society( cannot leave home naked etc). Still have to be polite and smile and say hello. Yeah everything is fucking annoying so no. Hot healty body does not change this world or life itself

 

[joypain]

100% would become someones pet fox. no worries only bark and scream then nap.

I recommend Someday trilogy by David Levithan. It is a young adult/ sci-fi that explores this very theme. Incredibly thought provoking.

In my case, no, I need a change of personality, my body looks fine and my life in itself is not bad. My problems stem from lack of self confidence and assertiveness , introvertness, quiet nature :(

Thanks. It sounds just like my type of book.

I doubt it'd make much of a difference but yes, it'd definitely make life a fuck ton more bearable while I'm still alive.
