/lit/,Which would you rather choose, living a normal long life and dying with the 50% chance of an after life and 50% chance of no after life, or immortality and never finding out the answer to what comes after death?
Can I just die now instead?

50% chance of an afterlife are some good odds.
I'd have to choose immortality though. Then I could spaghettify myself flying into a black hole.
Once you have afterlife the concept of dying just doesn't make any sense. You're just extending your life--you continue to live, but in another dimension.
The odds too are unrealistic: after all, there's more reasons to think that there is no afterlife. And immortality as a concept only makes sense if the Universe too will expand indefinitely.
But given the choice, I'd go with the latter: I'd have all the time in the universe to do batshit crazy stuff ranging from the degenerate (sticking my member into anything that moves without worrying about the consequences) to theoretical (single-handedly advance physics and mathematics to the point where I invent the time-machine and teleportation, pioneer the ultimate theory of everything etcetera).
