I am probably one of those not-fired-up folks. I don't want to defend that position (or attitude, or whatever) here. But I can offer that, even for someone like me, Chapter 45 was an extremely effective exposition of the emotional attractiveness of the anti-death position.

Well done, EY!

I'm the same way, as a personal matter. It's nothing I can defend. A person doesn't necessarily care, emotionally, about everything that it would make sense to care about.
