"The only thing to fear, is fear itself."

I thought that quote was more to do with consumer confidence than death.

I've had this discussion before, possibly with you but you're crazy. I hope to never ever die, ever.

And yet it's inevitable.  There's no more point in an infinite life than a finite one.  Yeah, living 2 or 3 thousand years would be fun, but life would start to devalue after that.  Infinite life has other problems - what do you do once the earth has collapsed?  Once the sun has exploded?  Once the universe is ending?  Heck, you can't have never thought "I'll be dead by then so it won't matter" (mainly on issues like climate change, overpopulation, deadly meteorite strikes etc).

No idea.

Would you rather "I fear nothing, but fear itself."?

I don't really care about any of that, if the two options are death or being the last living thing on a cold dead earth I'll take the latter.
