Why You Still Crave Immortality

Humanity’s struggle against mortality is the main character in this piece, punctuated by rituals, heroic illusions, and the subtle tyranny of money. In exploring Ernest Becker’s “Escape from Evil,” we discover how deep our fear of death truly goes—and how it shapes competition, status, scapegoating, and the never-ending pursuit of transcendence. This narrated journey offers an unfiltered look at how the earliest gift economies and the rise of divine kings connect to modern consumer culture. It asks whether we can accept our limits without conjuring fresh myths or building new altars of power. Join this conversation, dive into your own internal complexities, and question the illusions that keep you chasing ghosts. #EscapeFromEvil #HumanCondition #ExistentialFear #ErnestBecker #MortalityVsMeaning
