Of course... having a properly self-repairing body helps a lot. I can feel 25 all I want and actually do... but slowly the body starts telling you to "stop doing that" (like today I've got a knee ligament whining and moaning FNAR and when I look in the mirror I see my dad instead of me... though with much longer hair).
I could easily go a few hundred years without being bored if the mechanics would keep working... but I find the psychology and the memory management speculations of fictional '
Methuseleh' types to be interesting.
I noted that Horo could remember the details of 'what' she learned but had trouble remembering the 'who' and 'when' of things from long ago.
