    If you think of all humans as one organism, dying is not only less frightening but actually seems like a good idea.

        @paulg that's definitely true. But we aren't, so what lesson do we take from that?

        @paulg … in the perspective of the whole universe as one being, the existence of humankind is probably mostly irrelevant and harmless.

        @paulg that's what "I am God" (or Brahman) means in Hindu literature. And Buddhist. Read up non-dual Vedanta.
