if you have a problem now there are two type of people. the ones who fix it as soon as they have the time and energy and the ones that dont fix it untill they die, this also goes for things you want to do. people can change mind you but yeah. if you are one of the people lacking the nececary motivation to do something you want to do i'm sorry to say you are unlikely to do it when your lifespan is running out. if you have something you want to do that should be reason enough go do it now and stop procrastinating about everything.

yes i agree with that, it is specificaly why i put it as an obviosly bad world that is better than naruto. for the simple reason it has more opportunities along with the bullshit you find in both. what we are arguing about is the fact that you dont consider a long lifespan an opportunity.

you are just seeing the cultivation world from the mc's perspective there, there are plenty of people who have good lives for centuries in those worlds and have more freedom than in our current one, sure they are never truely the top dog, but do you belive the only happy ones on earth are the top ones who hold most of the power? and cultivation novels are fiction, just cause those are stuck in a primitive worldview does not mean that is how people would act in real life. true the wast power disparity would likely lead to that, but that is not due to lifespan. furthermore i've heard arguments similar to we might as well not educate the peasantry as most wont live long enough to take advantage of it. but flipping it around like you are makes no sense. inovation does speed up when you have a problem to fix, but most of the worlds inovation happens to fix problems the majority of the population has had for ages and simply accepted, until some person who is in one way or another out of the norm decides to acctualy do something about it. and those people tend to continue to inovate throughout their lives. inovation is usually reliant on a few brave souls who is willing to do something about things most would say "if it ain't broke dont fix it. they usually do not do it because they want to leave a legacy or cause they feel death comming for them, they do it for the simple reason that they see a problem that everyone else is refusing to fix. problems would not disapear just cause you have a prolonged lifespan.

there obviously is a risk of dying in a cultivation world, have we been reading different things? besides there is no need to have mortality hanging over your head to enjoy your life, is the fact that you are gonna die something you think about every time you are about to do something you enjoy? if not then that is not your motivation to do things you enjoy.

how about youth until you are tired of life? having a long lifespan does not mean you have to live that long, although everyone alive with agency makes the decicion to stay alive one more day every day of their lives, as such i find it unlikely that someone that has made that decicion for 70+ years would suddenly make another at that point. true when you look at it as a whole an extended lifespan seams scary, but frankly it is just making the decicion to stay alive one more day for more days. you are allredy doing it, beliving you would one day decide to stop doing that without extenuating cercumstances seams odd.

he pointed out he knew scabers was peter to peter by calling out peter and focusing on the rat. the last person he would want to know about it, but he is refusing to tell it to the people who would acctually be helpfull to tell. basically he is either suicidal or a moron.

even a cultivation world makes more sense as at least you get a decent amount of opportunities along with the bullshit, but in naruto, orochimaru and the otsutsuki are pretty much the only ones with an extended lifespan. and unless you are willing to turn the system of the world on it's head no matter if you become the strongest and become a kage you will still answer to a daimyo...

agreed

.... then why did he clearely trust her a few chapters back?

agreed. the "friends" are the ones he should hate most, but well i understand the emotions towards them cant be instantly flipped before internalising it properly, so it would make sense if the anger was misdirected at calamity for some days until he has thought about it, but yeah i have no faith that is what will happen.
