I don't know about you but seeing a big pile of skeletons in a basement mainly serves to confirm the ideas about death that I already had.
It's also kind of misleading because they're not complaining but dying is actually pretty awful unless you're really, really lucky.
- brookst 4y agoWait, is it lucky if you’re aware of your last moments or lucky if you’re not?
- whatshisface 4y agoIt depends on the moments, really.
- warent 4y agoNaturally dying is unpalatable to the individual living brain, evolved for survival and reproduction! Doesn't it seem to be that death and life are mind-made abstractions of an unfathomable process of eternal continuity and change? In our minds it's all very binary because of evolution, and we conflate our evolved perception with true reality. If we peel back those layers then what is remaining?
- whatshisface 4y ago>If we peel back those layers then what is remaining? A really miserable process of being sick.
- warent 4y agoYou can be sick when you're dead?
