I'm not afraid of dying, I'm honestly planning on intentional death if specific conditions are met, (dementia or "locked in"). I have DNR on my medical necklace next to my conditions because if they bother to slow down enough to check, im probably in a situation where that fate is worse than death.
I am terrified of not finishing my todo list. I have things i want to make and changes to effect on the universe before i am ok with leaving it.
I take a very utilitarian and brutal view of the future, and inevitable fates don't merit my fear, only my planning. However, I don't think the world would be better should my point of view be universal. I evangelize it only to those I think could benefit.

- 01HNNWZ0MV43FF 2y agoI am more terrified of getting old. I don't have much on my to-do list and every year feels like I get weaker and more things become impossible forever I guess dying is just the final form of that
- Rhapso 2y agoI have multiple medical issues that all have the effect of "you will go downhill fast in your 60s". I'm actually optimizing my health choices for QoL now over long term survival. Lots of more intense medications have side effects that get felt at point (high dosage Prednisone makes you go blind early, my most likely flavor of chemo makes you go deaf similarly) Decide now on what QoL isn't acceptable to you and plan accordingly. The idea you have to wait around forever to die is a strong cultural belief, but you get to pick how you live your life. That includes how and when it ends.
