In this German‑language monologue, Stephen, who has studied life and death, is asked whether he would choose to live to 200 years or beyond if it were possible. He answers that he would bet on reaching 200 years, feeling that anything longer might be excessive. He reflects on why he feels this way, considering his relationship to time, meaning, and self‑awareness. Stephen acknowledges that an extremely long life would bring personal challenges such as boredom, a sense of meaninglessness, and chronic procrastination, while noting that societal challenges are not discussed. Despite these concerns, he emphasizes that life is precious, that he enjoys it, and that this appreciation makes him happy and willing to gamble on a 200‑year lifespan.
