Ese, i often say to my graduate students, you're going to die soon, and so am i. Whether it's 50 years or a hundred, still not a lot of time. And maybe this is why i didn't have a life shifting epiphany at the time. I was already at ligwell, life is short, you'd better do things that you want to do. That sounds like a very reasoned conception of death. How much different do you think is the perception of death for a person who believes in an after life versus one who doesn't? Ese, oh, this sounds like katrina, i guess i should have gotten tipped off by the god part
Also: why are we so bad at assessing risk?
