    Death is the only correct answer. We’ve been singularly focused on avoiding it since we were single-cellular. Any other fear presented here represents a “what if” hypothesis about what’s on the other side of it.

      How would a society of immortal beings work, though, considering the already existing inequalities and rampant amoral antisocial nature of those currently in power? We kinda just have to make peace with death, right? I’m religious, and what I’m gonna say here might sound a tad heretical, but one life does feel like “enough” (of a gift, if you’re religious) and I don’t see a working alternative… but perhaps I’m not creative enough? 🤷

        I see nothing wrong with your logic. Acceptance of death is in some peoples opinion the main function of religion.
