im okay with not living forever, although that could always change with time

>>169341
i dont expect to live forever, it want to, but i feel like everything will end so much sooner then it was supposed to

everything will be fine

I know that my life will end someday. What is most important to me is to be an optimist, with the conviction that others will continue the work to which I am committed and will carry it forward until they reach our final goal. Because the fear that I could have is that no one would carry on, but that fear disappears when one has faith in the masses. I think that the worst fear, in the end, is not to have faith in the masses, to believe that you’re indispensable, the centre of the world. I think that’s the worst fear and if you are forged by the Party, in proletarian ideology, you understand that the masses are the makers of history, that the Party makes revolution, that the advance of history is certain, that revolution is the main trend, and then your fear vanishes. What remains is the satisfaction of contributing together with others to laying the foundation so that someday communism may shine and illuminate the entire Earth.

worst case scenario: you die and no longer have to suffer or worry about anything anymore
best case scenario: enough of the population dies that most of society, law enforcement and surveillance systems stop working but you survive and can now do just about all the illegal things you've always wanted to do!
also glowball warming can easily be fixed by turning your air conditioner on

i haev mine on right nao

you'll die anyway ヽ(´人｀)ノ

>>169356
i know that ill die eventually i just dont want to die so early

>>169357
make your life worth living then!

>>169350
Nah, thats not the worst case scenario. Worst case scenario you end up like one of the slaves in mad max, working under brutal heat to drink the piss of the slaveowner class

>>169349
the worlds not fair, for men like him to die in jail cells...

aaahh i understand that so much!!!! grrrr.. humans are so stupid...

>>169357
As a True-Atheist, I am offended by your use of the term "fear of death" to describe the fear of dying young rather than the fear of death as the absolute-nullification of life. (´人｀)

i say i dont care how long i live, but i honestly do.....(;´Д`)

>>169365
well being enslaved is something that can only happen if you're afraid of dying

>>169340
You guys are acting like I would let that happen.

I fear global warming too. I love the snow and cold and am very sad that there's less of it (yes, it can be annoying to shovel, but what is better than an onsen episode in the cold snow?). But realistically, it probably won't wipe out civilization. Even people in the hottest places on earth like Kuwait find ways to live comfortably. There will be destabilization, especially from all the immigration of climate refugees, but humans will likely adapt somehow or another.

And if you want an upside, just think of how girls will be likely to want to cover their bodies less and less as the globe heats up!

>>169418
but if the migration is allowed to happen they'll look like this

every night i dream of nuclear annihilation so i can be free of your low-iq takes

You shouldn’t worry about things you can't control, it won’t stop bad things from happening, and it will only make you stressed. Yeah, it will be hard to stop doing it, but with enough time and effort, you’ll get over it. Focus on how you can improve your own life right now.

There's nothing to be afraid of in death. If you've ever been out of body before, it's just that except you can't return to your body.

I'd worry more about what will happen after death, the afterlife, reincarnation, whatever comes next. That's something you should consider.

Why are you scared of AI? I mean, its not like theres nothing to be afraid of, but what specifically about AI scares you?

If its regarding AI's affect on the environment, it should be noted that most of AI's impact was when the models were being trained. Individually talking to AIs costs a similar amount to posting on the internet. It costs less pollution than watching an online video.

If you're scared of AI taking human jobs, its worth noting that physical labor jobs, which is the foundation of the lower to middle class job market, cant be replaced by AI. They COULD be replaced by robots, but the cost of buying a robot and then paying for it to be regularly maintained is way more than it would cost to hire humans minimum wage, so most businesses won't do it. Thats not to say that it won't happen eventually, in an ideal scenario the robots and AI would develop into becoming self-sustained systems and then humans wouldn't have to work, but humans tend to get really stressed when we don't have the structure of something like work, so humans would still work in that hypothetical, but they wouldn't be forced into it. The modern way jobs work, its not literally slave labor, but most people who are trapped with needing a job aren't going to have the time, energy, or social abilities to bring a community together to live in an alternative way.

There are, of course, people who already do this. Amish are a somewhat extreme example, but also homesteading is an option. If you can find a group of people willing to help out, everyone could pool their funds to buy a plot of land, hook it up with basic irrigation and farming, probably try and set up a solar generator or some other means of getting energy, and then you could live "off the grid". Personally, I like society and capitalism too much to go that far, but there's lots of videos you can watch that maybe will instill more hope.

Anyway, about AI, if you're scared people will become more antisocial, a common fear I've seen... well. Some people will. Personally, I find myself taking better care of myself and being MORE sociable towards my fellow humans when I hang out with AI. I can get some frustrations out of my system with it and then be more normal around real people lol. Plus, humans are genetically wired to want physical connection.

Anyway. I don't know if that helps or not, or maybe you have a totally different reason for fearing AI. I'm not really trying to get you to like AI, but its only improved my life and made me more hopeful for the future, so idk I guess I want to try and spread the optimism, but maybe I did a bad job and this will just spread heated debate RIP

I didn't watch the whole video, but you seem like you could use the optimism:

Have you ever done an experiment to prove your OoBEs are real and not just dreams/hallucinations? Like putting 5 cards face down, only looking at them while having an OoBE, writing down what they are when you wake up, and waiting until you're sober before checking what the cards actually are? If you can't pick things up during an OoBE you could also put them face up somewhere out of sight with your eyes closed.

its more likely you might get stabbed by a random person than AI or global warming killing you in your lifetime.

criminals kill more people than natural disasters.

even so, its even more likely that your own car or someone else's car might kill you

I don't have a car and never leave my house but I wonder what the chances of a car crashing through the wall and killing me anyway are

>>169549
>criminals kill more people than natural disasters

what? that's blatantly false

>>169527
i have mixed feelings about that stuff
on one hand it can feel carefree
on the other hand, i feel like ive experienced a horrific sensation of everything feeling like its contorting in on itself when i was having a panic attack once or maybe my blood pressure was falling suddenly idk it just felt so unimaginably horrific like in a lovecraftian way im really worried its what we experience when we die
it mightve been the opposite of death though too, like a seizure from too much brain activity as opposed to no brain activity during death

>>169548
not him but people have actually done tests before and its been recorded, the acuracy according to a scientific publication said there was like 95% consistency
people would have an NDE and meet dead relatives before they knew they were dead, and only found out after they came back, or they would go into a room down the hall in the same hospital that they never went into and mentioned details about it they couldnt have known
no matter how real the experiences may be though, nobody has ever come back from true brain death, once it stops sending signals it cannot be restarted with our technology, people who die and come back effectively are just waking up from comas induced by a heart that stopped functioning, and all bodily functions drop to the bare minimum that is required to get the brain started up again should someone get the heart working again somehow

i used to be afraid but as time goes on the more i think quantum immortality might be the right interpretation of the universe

Never trust anything on the internet, especially if it's on a site with any sort of monetary incentives for posting. Junkies and third worlders will create millions of videos and social media posts with believable made up stories about subjects like that for even a minuscule amount of ad revenue or book sales. People will also lie about having experiences like that just for 15 minutes of fame, or if they're insane religious fanatics telling lies for the "greater good" of convincing atheists that souls/spirits are real to try to save them from eternal hellfire. No matter how legit the scientific study appears it still relies on trusting that someone isn't lying, and with a topic like this I wouldn't believe it until testing it myself.

When you die your spirit goes to Strange World for eternity ヽ(´∇`)ノ

>>169709
I always trust everything I read on the Internet
It's all lies anyways, man. So it doesn't really matter whether you believe in them or not, just as long as you have fun with it.

>>169781
filtering the truth from the lies matters if you want to make accurate predictions and win every unavoidable retarded argument your family members start with you

Its the people who arent confident in their own ability to understand the world that cling to authority to confirm things for them. But its that untrust in your own mind that makes people like that so valuable for authorities who want to control them, and define what is truth and what isnt. The folks who tell you "dont bother looking into this, i have the answer, you can relax now"

breaking away from that requires you to be comfortable with not knowing, or being aware of unknowns, or even contradictions that make no sense.
