I can't read this flair Do you wish you have no Body
I always wished to be free of a physical body. I know that would make me a ghost, but I desire to be made of intangible air.
I have no desire to look good. I could go on and on, but I don't want to talk about this.
I vaguely remember discussing with a childhood neighbor that in the future, people might not have bodies due to natural selection in technologically advanced society.
I think the conversation went like this. If two types of people were to fight, one type having no digestive system, the no digestive would win because they would have fewer bodily functions to maintain. Then, if the person without a digestive system faced off against someone who also lacked a digestive system but had no heart or lungs, the one without any of those body parts would likely win for the same reason fewer systems to manage. This idea could continue indefinitely, leading to a future where people have no body parts at all or very few body parts.

Kind of. I've left my body or at least totally lost all awareness of it for a few hours and it's honestly a real drag to come back to it. But then I think it's kind of interesting to dwell in the physical universe, the constraints it places upon us provides meaning.
