Given that--outside of this site--I'm used to a majority deathist position, I'm actually surprised at the number of people in the FIMFiction comments that took strong antideathist positions.

I'm pretty sure some of them were from LessWrong. You can check the membership of the "LessWrong" group on fimfiction.

I think there's some selection effect. We anti-death people seem to care a lot more strongly about our position.

That said, I was also surprised by this, and have updated in the direction that a nontrivial minority of the population is anti-death. The world appears slightly less crazy than I had expected.
