“Death gives life meaning is cope—death just makes everything you do ultimately pointless”
Agree
- Permanent end erases all significance eventually
- Mortality doesn't add value just deadline
- Nothing matters if it all disappears
- Finitude creates desperation not meaning
Disagree
- Scarcity is what makes anything precious
- Infinite life would make moments worthless
- Limited time forces prioritization and values
- Endings provide narrative structure to life
