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.

perhaps we are part of something larger. We may not survive as individuals, but our fingerprint is on the shape of the Universe.

I also think of infinity in a point. Once experience stops. Heady stuff.

I don't even know what I don't know! I find it hard to get into things which aren't about people and how they think.

I think that is a good way to live. I certainly don't feel immortal, and I most certainly have doubt. "Taste death, live life"
