Current Events > I've been thinking about death a lot.

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'm 33 and I'm not getting any younger. Death is one step closer each day. I don't believe in an afterlife. It's pretty depressing to think about.

Life expectancy is 75 years. You are less than halfway there

You're at the fucking prime of your life. Once you hit the 40's and 50's, you get your testosterone shots, and you'll feel like Superman again.

I'm 36 and all I think about is death since my dad died

You do not believe in an after life yet things like airplanes and rocket ships exist? We are going to mars in a few years as well...after life does not seem like such a crazy idea considering i am talking to you through a pocket sized multimedia communication device that was invented around 15 years ago...

Make the best out of life bro, this is just the beginning. You have so much to look forward to.

My dad died too, but back in 1989.

All of these things happened in the living world. A world of chemical reactions. But I will try to make the best of life.

Read the field by lynn mctaggert. Chemistry is just a science, the world is magical bro. The soul exists. God is real. Do not lose hope.

I looked her up and she's anti-vaxx

Not only that, she wrote a damn book advocating against vaccines

Ouch

From Wiki:
What Doctors Don't Tell You has been cited for factual errors in its attacks on medicine, such as confusing the antiviral drug Tamiflu for a vaccine and attributing deaths to a nonexistent avian influenza vaccine.[16] Ben Goldacre has described McTaggart as "viciously, viciously anti-vaccine"[3] and notes that "In a radical move, even for the vaccine fear-mongering community, this time she has people dying from a vaccine that doesnt actually exist".
The Field has been characterized by Mark Henderson of The Times as pseudoscience, focusing on her personal understanding of quantum physics as a misconception.[9]
McTaggart was reported to have threatened to sue Simon Singh after he contacted Comag, the distributors of WDDTY, complaining that the magazine was "largely unscientific" and "promoting advice that could potentially harm readers." "Also, many of the adverts appear to make pseudoscientific and unsubstantiated claims," he said. "I even offered to meet with Comag and introduce them to medical experts, but they have not accepted this invitation. When I suggested that I would blog about our email exchange, their reaction was to tell me in no uncertain terms: 'I should inform you that we have sought legal advice in respect of this matter. We would take any attempts to damage our reputation on social media or elsewhere very seriously.'"[17]
In the months between first publication of What Doctors Don't Tell You in magazine form, and February 2013, 54 breaches of the Code of Advertising Practice in 11 adverts were adjudicated and upheld by the Advertising Standards Authority along with a further 11 informally resolved cases, concerning adverts in the first two issues,[18] with more breaches in subsequent issues too.[19]
In an interview on BBC Radio 4, GP and author Dr. Margaret McCartney stated: "I'm astounded that Lynne thinks this is an evidence-based publication. It's anything but," she said. "The problem with evidence is that it can tell you things that you'd rather not know. A lot of the time medicine does do harm but that's why doctors and scientists are duty-bound to put their research findings out there and to stop doing things that cause harm. What we shouldn't do is abandon medicine and the scientific method and go straight for alternative medicine with no good evidence that that works either."[17] She criticised stories in the magazine as "absolute rubbish" and "ridiculously alarmist".
In an article in The Times in October 2013 Tom Whipple, science correspondent, said that "Experts are calling on high street shops to stop selling a magazine that claims that vitamin C cures HIV, suggests homeopathy could treat cancer and implies that the cervical cancer vaccine has killed hundreds of girls."[20]

Major ouch

I am 33 as well, but my outlook is different. Knowing every year brings me closer to death motivates me not to take my life for granted. Kind of a memento mori. It's a thought I keep at the back of my mind while not letting it dominate my thoughts.

Why do you guys believe that being anti vax makes someone less credible in a world where we rotate a giant ball of fire in the middle of space that is coincidentally the same size in the sky as our moon? Not fishy at all. Just saying, they should teach creationism in school than the bullshit "we are a cosmic accident and are here by coincidence and our lives are meaningless" its the kind of bullshit philosophy that leads people to a hopeless world view.

The only result you get from times like this is patience.

Or they could teach philosophy in public schools for once and have kids read Camus, et al

It is absolutely pathetic how rude, arrogant, and ignorant science schills are. You would think that in a thread where a person is borderline suicidal these people would drop their stupid act and just tell the truth but nope, they think they know everything and would rather not illuminate someone at the expense of their bogus belief system. There is a special place for people like you buddy.

It's a bit early for a midlife crisis

Even better, ahead of the curve

The concept of death makes me feel sad, not relief.

Get your fairytale horseshit out of here. The world doesn't give a fuck. It just is and everything can be explained with logic.

Facts don't care about feelings.

I hope when we die we get to see how we scored in various aspects of life
