All you rationality mavens, with/without prefixes (vanilla, bounded-, biased-, post-, meta-)... Has anyone ever properly studied mortal-rationality? Reasoning bounded by the belief that you will certainly die within a period T, as will your descendants?

Normies are the only ones who are actually prepared to hear it ime. All subcultural types (including billionaire immortalists) are in some sort of denial bubble or the other, aestheticizing their mortality-salient cognitions with some pretty reification or the other.

Subnormies read heidegger, normies try to figure out how to game taxes on their 401k and transfer property to kids in the sneakiest way possible. Revealed preference suggests the latter are in less denial about death.

it's only invalid if you think somehow extreme depressive angst or existential nausea is in some way a more "authentic" response... it is certainly an interesting response, arguably more interesting than dull estate planning, but I am not convinced it is more authentic
