Chris Manning writes that death is inevitable in infinite time. Not that  
this is important, but it's not strictly correct. If the chance of death in a  

given time frame declines fast enough, the chance of eventual death can be less
than unity. Also, we could eventually be individually   distributed over 
large volumes. Also, the Second Law does not guarantee  eventual oblivion, for 
reasons I won't detail here unless requested.
 
Alan Mole points out that we should eventually have control over our  

emotions, by various means including drugs. For a full view of this, see
