      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".

          I find that appealing too. Matter and energy that is me now will survive but 'I' am the function of my brain & that will stop.
