So have you come up with what value they're busy rationalizing with all those arguments?
Is it just that they have despair over death, but have convinced themselves that it is good, and so their aversion to talk of immortality is protecting their protection against death?
While we're on death, have you ever noticed how "The Bad Guy" is often after immortality. I went over to TV Tropes, and interestingly, I couldn't find that trope listed - Villain for Immortality.
I haven't had a correct social situation in which to test for that value. The content of their arguments doesn't seem to lead anywhere because they're a matter of belief in belief - they desperately want the iron that's going to strike them within this century to be at least cold. So, I can't say what the value is until I've got down a list of possible values and found ways of testing for them.
