On Thoughts on Death I refused to defend deathism because

that is no consolation for someone who has lost a relative to death "my position on death is controversial here" and "the only relatives I lost until now were grandparents" But

doesn't apply in this independent post. shouldn't hold me back in general. I risk loosing karma but I'll try to defend my view as objectively and scholarly as a can (given one day preparation). was countered in the comment by Mestroyer so I wrote this argument that death in general is adaptive.
