Your comment surprised me. I didn't think anyone would prefer hell to cessation of existence. Does your preference also extend to other people, e.g. your loved ones? When someone dies, are you willing to press a button to resurrect them and send them to hell?

I'm not sure, probably not.

What scares me isn't always quite the same as what I would prefer not to happen, probably a system 1 vs system 2 thing.
