Deep admiration.
I started "Ending Aging" with a host of reservations

Aubrey demolished them one after the other. I still fear he is optimistic on timescales. But then I'm temperamentally a pessimist about most things.
I used to be worried about this too. I kind of still am, but not really - I'll get to that.
I find the usual arguments of my fellow atheists totally unconvincing - no offense, guys. I was not "dead" before I was born, I was not yet in existence. And when I die, I won't "be dead"; instead, there'll no longer be an entity to "be" anything. To say that "it didn't bother me" before I was born to not exist is a word game. I exist now, and it bothers me now that someday I may not exist. Not existing is fucking scary, and it's bad, and I don't want to die.
But I've found the best way to cope is to decide to not die, or at least, to make my best effort to not die.
We shouldn't try and make death any less horrific than it is. It's a repulsive, will-sapping, depressing thought, that everything that makes me me will some day no longer exist, and it's terrible that so many people have already died, and it's terrible that the same could happen to you and me. But it's inspiring that we have the chance to make it not so - to live, at least, until the heat death of the universe.
I intend to live forever or die trying.
