To flip the question, why would you like a long and healthy life? Are you happy about the world you're sending your kids into? What do you tell them about the world?


I do want a long and healthy life. Yes, I am happy about the world I'm sending my kids into. I'll tell them the world is a wonderful miracle and our purpose is to contribute to its flourishing as much as possible.


I agree. Seems like most of the world doesn’t share our sense of wonder


you are in denial due to sunk cost fallacy and stockholm syndrome


Potentially you’re just depressed


short and healthy-ish life is fine, long and unhealthy life is the worst.
