      Sounds good. I should catch up on my reading list. I think I may find slight disagreement on the immortality narratives part.

      Are possible secular means of immortality like mind-uploading or aging solutions criticized at all? @GodDoesnt

      Yep. Non-religious immortality stories.

          I'd agree that these can be harmful psychologically but I also think it's possible to pursue them healthily.

          Yeah, for me it'd just be about extension anyway. Just extension to the point where I decided to die willingly.

          I think it's likely I'd agree with his qualified position on this given what I know but may be slight disagreement.

          Not sure. Don't know why exactly. But I look forward to finding out!

          I came to terms with loss of immortality by realizing everybody has effect on others. Diffuse, but real.

          .@cabinloon @HPluckrose @GodDoesnt Most helpful for me was realization that I didn't exist 100 years ago. After death will be just like that

          .@cabinloon @HPluckrose @GodDoesnt It doesn't bother me at all that I didn't exist in 1916 so there's no reason for not existing in 2116 to.
