    Venkatesh Rao @vgr
    All societies are built with cognitive guardrails to prevent people from thinking clearly about mortality. It’s a first-class feature. Mythologize it, valorize it, spiritualize it, aestheticize it, but don’t let people think clearly about it. This is stupid. We should change it.

        his tweet here is why I always take the thoughts of post-rationalists with a massive grain of salt. The height of hubris to presume that archaic people's werent worried about the very clear limits death puts on life.
