A bit morbid of a topic but some of these depressing articles that have been posted recently have put me on this train of thought.
When I was young, I was in denial. I thought science would save me. Outlandish things like by the time im 50 they will be able to reverse aging. Or they will be able to store our consciousness on ‘hard drives’ or some such nonsense. Anything but death. I refused to believe that I would die some day. Even trying to convince myself that things like in the movie “AI” were possible. Aliens coming to earth and discovering that peoples consciousness existed all around us and could be brought back. Silliness.
Now that I’m older, I’ve grown to accept the inevitable. These scenarios are either not real or will not happen before I’m gone.
I’m generally not one to sit around and think about death, but I am curious as to what you alls ages are and whether you accept that its coming.
We cant do religion here, so, as much as I’d like to get into it, please dont go in that direction.
Honestly, even with people having the ability to regenerate forever, which likely wont happen anytime soon, if ever, imagine all these ‘immortals’ fighting for resources and space and killing each other. We dont dont have the tech to expand to the stars yet , so where would the resources to support this population come from?
I have spent years being told I should already be dead. I guess I am used to the idea that today can always be my last day. I hope it isn’t, but there you go.
When I was younger, I was scared to death of death, lol, because I didn’t want to leave my mentally ill son behind with no one to look after him. Now that he’s gone, I am totally ready to go.
I had a fugue episode that lasted 3 to 4 weeks where I lost consciouness for that amount of time.
It was as though i didn’t exist, and as that was the case i wasn’t in the slightest bit worried about it because there was no consciousness that I could register.
I don’t know what happened in that time. They won’t give me full access to my medical notes.
I was as good as dead and there was nothing. I am not fearful of it.
Yea I know wat u mean. That’s just as scary or worse… Idk lol.
But at least I’ll be dead after like 10 minutes with cremation but with a coffin I’ll be living underground in a coffin until I die of no food and water of whatever.
Cremation is more environmentally friendly too.
Idk.
I don’t like the dying process I’m not so scared of wen I’m dead compared to the dying process yea…
