It's absurd: You tend to die.
It's absurd to die.
It's bs to die.
Be.
“To do is to be” -- Nietzsche
“To be is to do” -- Kant
“Do be do be do” -- Sinatra
Nobody alive has died yet.
At least not in worlds where he is alive.
Is it worse to enter a state of superimposed death and life than to die?
I hope not. That's the state we are all in now and what we are entering constantly. Unless there are rounding errors in the universe we haven't detected yet.
I think life requires a system large and complex enough to produce decoherence between "alive" and "dead" in timescales shorter than required to define "alive" at all.
Sorry, that was a Schrodinger's Cat joke.
It will be quick. It might even be painless. I would not know. I have never died.
