super immortality was introduced by Ettinger in MAn into Superman, last part of chap 3... but I have to upgrade my opinion of Max More for bringing this idea of superimmortality up... that's an exciting concept. Unfortunately, I'm currently inebriated as I type this, but am in control of the precise level of my inebretion. I'll make a physical note on my TODO list in my shirt pocket, with no protector *out of style?... to get back to More's point ASAP. One of the best posts I've seen from More in while. Good Max! Thank you from the bottom of my quantum heart which is not a pump. It almost feels like Max is debating me right now by reading my blog but all my friends and family call me delusional using other plebe words... so I'll take into account that my beer is doing the talking. Promise to deal with Max in the next coupla days.


Superimmortality: We never have to die. Either we are practically invulnerable or we are backed up in multiple places so the chances of being completely destroyed are vanishingly small. (In fiction, a good example of this is Marvel’s Eternals. Their bodies can be destroyed but their personalities are maintained and reembodied using Celestial technology.) Super-immortality is also the kind that gods are supposed to have. (They may also have the next kind, although religious texts do not typically address this.) It could also refer to supernatural or religious immortality, although presumably God could terminate your existence. Apparently, in parts of superpower fandom this is called “absolute immortality.” I will stick with superimmortality because absolute immortality does not distinguish between this and the next kind.
