Okay so I had an idea. For each and every one us no matter how adamantly we prioritize our own survival and live our best life, there's always a chance of something unexpected and horrible happening where we might unexpectedly die younger than we intended to.
So, since Reforged makes everyone feel old and feeling old causes me to think about coming to terms with the reality of my own eventual death (no known humans have escaped death), I suddenly had the idea that because Hive is a website it might be immortal, so by extension it might be possible for the digital extension of ourselves to achieve immortality if we could create an avatar of it in World Editor, then save the map with the interactable runnable digital expression of ourselves and then upload this map to Hive -- where it might stay, forever.
And thus I have hatched a plot that I might be able to become immortal using World Editor and Hive. So I thought I would make this thread about the idea even though I did not do it yet, to get other peoples' thoughts. If you were to encode your own immortal representation of yourself as a neutral interactable unit on World Editor, what would your immortal unit self be like and what kinds of stuff would it do for the rest of eternity?
