Are You Afraid of Death?
Death is interesting in that it is obviously hyper important to a person's life. For the most part no human will really experience and be able to reflect upon death. So our notions of death are sort of proof that if we want to make the most of our lives we have to think abstractly. No amount of experience can really motivate that it has to be driven by thought and abstraction in theory. We tend to view ourselves as nearly immortal and I think that's very dangerous.
