Causality issues aside, yes I would. Makes a big difference if I found out I had 40+ years left vs 5 years left.
Wouldn't have mattered either way then lol.
Can I change it?
I got a scan that detected cancer which I was later able to get removed. That cancer would have probably killed me in five years.
If I get told that I'll die of cancer in twenty years, I'm going to deal with it in ten years.
If I knew the reason, chances are it would show "tried to cheat death" with a very close death time. I'd better off not knowing it; because I would definetly try to cheat against it. My lack of knowledge about it will let me live longer.
Of course I would, then I would hate myself for it. But I know I'd hate myself even more if I had the chance to know and not take it
Yeah, I'd go for it. I already know that it's inevitable. Being able to not fuck over my loved ones by having certain things in order would make things easier for them.
No, because as soon as I accept that knowledge, the wave function collapses and my future becomes deterministic.
Yes. Though I wouldn’t want to know the exact day if I could help that. Knowing the year or month would be enough to plan. To have a will. To say the things I want to say to those I care about. To make peace with the end. To do what I can of a bucket list and to feel a bit more secure up to that point not worrying about death.
Yes.
Decide if I want to end it sooner if it’s going to drag on much longer.
Ah, but if you decided to end it sooner after you'd seen that it would be a long ways off, then you'd fail in such a way that made you either unable or unwilling to try again.
