Does “expecting to live for 10,000 years or more” feel subjectively closer to the current status quo than to immortality for you? I’m guessing so, but it’s certainly not the case for me.
They don’t feel the same—it just doesn’t inspire me to fantasize about doing anything much longer term than I already am when I imagine living to be 10,000. This may be because I haven’t spent enough time fantasizing about living for lengthy, finite periods of time, or it may be because I already think long-term enough to cover that eventuality.
