    Existential terror! Do you hide from it with immortality stories or face it and use it to make the most of life?https://twitter.com/keevamoran/status/798285330554064896 …

        I had terror of Hell so realising I would cease to exist was at first a relief.But I slowly developed a feeling of grief for my impermanence

        I felt this most when looking at seemingly timeless things - mountains, oceans - but they're not really. Also not aware. Better to be me.

        Have you come to terms with mortality, tweeps? Or do you accept it but think it best not to think about it? Or have transhumanist hopes?

        I think it is an incredibly complex and infinite universe. Humans have limited perspective as single point of time.

        Indeed. What does that mean for your own mortality?

        I don't know. I only know the inevitability of it. So I try to enjoy every day I can.

        I'm trying to think about it a lot to reassess life & what I'll want to have done with it when time comes. Lindsay's book, obv

        I keep going back to "energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed".

        Determined to leave a lasting legacy, either through my son or through my writing. Son currently the significantly better bet!

        Ah ha! The 'legacy' idea! Life in Light of Death looks at that. A lovely aim and worthwhile but not really lasting.

        Not infinitely no, but I'd like to be quoted on internet memes after my death, while Toby invents something to save the planet.

        XD But on your death bed, you'll probably be happiest with the times you spent with Toby. :) (I'd like the memes thing too)

        literally 100% agree with you! Was saying many belief systems feel a sense of superiority & I'm not tryna vibe with that
