One of my books features an immortal protagonist and I've as such thought about this quite a bit. More than the answers already provided here, what I found interesting as a writer was the balance I needed to find between making an immortal detached from mortal values while still being engaging to mortal readers.

Said as a pithy question, if you can outlive everyone's decisions and mistakes, what would it take to make you do anything at all?

I wrote a story that features such an entity and what was interesting about it to me was how even the slightest glimmer of life beyond their void would lead to an all-consuming desire to experience "living" again.

People are scared to death to talk about their company publicly because we are trained to have that fear.

It's pretty wild how ingrained it can be and how much power it gives the company to do whatever they want with no fear of consequences.

I've had a similar issue. I think it's tied to how posts seemingly endlessly rain in. Probably will be fixed in the next update, but I'm not sure when exactly that will happen.
