If human adults didn't grasp death any better than AIXI does, they'd routinely drop anvils on their heads literally, not 'so to speak'.

AIXI doesn't necessarily drop an anvil on it's head. It just doesn't believe that it's input sequence can ever stop, no matter what happens. This seems to me like what the vast majority of humans believe.

For clarity: are you referring to belief in an afterlife/reincarnation? Or are you saying that most humans are not mindful most of the time of their own mortality?

I am referring to an afterlife of some kind.
