Not are you ready to die. Are you emotionally prepared to die?

    Absolutely not. It causes me a lot of anxiety and dread. Mainly because I can’t imagine what non-existence is like. But also missing out on stuff, such as scientific discoveries, etc.

      You’ve already experienced non-existence. 13 billion years of it before you were even conceived. Or a few thousand if you’re religious and don’t agree with the science, I guess, but either way, you didn’t suffer any meaningful harm from it.

      FOMO is a good one, but the dead don’t care. They’re not even capable of caring. And some day we’ll be among their number.
