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?

The transhumanist idea. I wasn't really aware of it until I read James Lindsay's new book but now I find many ppl drawn to it.

I think its similar to my (much sillier) fantasies about becoming a vampire! Not sure I'd want to lose my body & senses tho.

Only because you're imagining experiencing it which you never will. But I know what you mean, I think. Impermanence?

Yeah. I often think 'if only one year was two?' If we aged half as fast & lived twice as long. I think that'd be enough.
