Philosophers have overwhelmingly argued that immortality is not choiceworthy. Immortal life would eventually get boring, or worse, it would be meaningless to begin with. I explore famous thought experiments by Bernard Williams, Homer, and Plato. The audience will be invited to vote on different versions of the question of whether immortality is choiceworthy. I dedicate this talk to Friedo Ricken, in memory of his distinctive take on Plato’s Symposium.
