Yes, though death is inevitable you do not have to think over it again and again and become depressed. You can choose how to live your short yet valuable life.Mason Garrod wrote: ↑04 Jul 2021, 11:17 Of course some people think like that. I do think it's important to think about death as something inevitable and try to take away some of the fear factor of it by coming to terms with it. But certainly fixating on only death is an unhealthy and nihilistic way to live, nothing in life is guaranteed exactly but whatever does happen makes all the difference. I think it's very relevant to the story because in order to portray the other side of the coin, you have to consider the alternative first to put everything in context
And what if the alternative of quantum immortality that this author suggests is true? Then living well won't be in vein as you can continue to have it in different universes and different bodies, but keeping your soul as a continuum.
