But we don't do it. We sit here worrying about dying and trying to ensure we will live forever instead of enjoying the time we do have alive. This is a false dilemma. People can enjoy the time being alive while optimizing for the long term. Exercising increases our health and make us enjoy life more. Read experiences of people who suddenly find out they are going to die relatively soon- the richness of their life takes on a whole new dimension. This is a rationalization or terror management. Moreover, the richness of life should come before having to face one's own mortality. We always have a choice of living life to our fullest, or don't at any given time, immortal or mortal.
