I'm not claiming to know what happens after death. By "pro-death fallacies" I meant the statements that Lex makes about death being necessary for life to have meaning.

>It's something important to remember that forever basically can't exist. Heat death and such.
Even if the heat death of the universe has a solution, which it may have (who knows?), living forever is by definition impossible, since it's never forever.

Yes, I've said Lex's arguments are fallacies, but I have my reasons for it. You said I'm just dismissing them cause I don't agree with them.

Of course not. I didn't say that.

I use "death" as a synonym for "final end of life", and so does Lex. If there is life after death, then that's not death on my book, just a change of scenery.

And even if there were no immortal organisms, why would it matter? Why not be the first to achieve it?

I've always been disappointed in Lex Fridman for his prominent pro-death stance, so I'm shocked to see that his dad is actually pro-immortality. It's funny cause it's usually the other way around. This shows us that anyone can fall for the pro-death fallacies.

What truth? You're literally saying that you come from the future, or that you are God, or... to be honest, I don't even know what you're saying.

I'm not here to whistle Dixie and say nay. I don't have to guess the future, I helped design it so we can avoid as many bad outcomes as possible.
Oh, so you are psychotic. All your nonsense makes sense now.
