We don't fear death, we fear not having Instagrammed our lives enough before it


Agree

  • Modern death anxiety is about documentation
  • We want proof we existed more than actually existing
  • Legacy obsession replaces life engagement
  • Performance anxiety replaced mortality anxiety

Disagree

  • Death fear is primal, predates social media
  • Documentation is expression, not replacement of living
  • This dismisses genuine existential terror
  • Sharing life enhances, not diminishes it
