Oddbean new post about login | logout I don't fear death; I expect it will be as peaceful as pre-birth. I do fear that my words and thoughts will fail to be preserved and all traces of my existence will be lost. That is the ultimate death.
One reason why I wish I had a merged PR in Bitcoin core, so my code can live forever
Brotha, due to cause and effect, your thoughts and efforts do live on through the ripples of time and space for as long as time and space exist.
Fear not, for everything thing and every moment are equally as important as the rest.
you could write your thoughts as ordinals inscriptions 👀

This moment here, right now, is ours. Nobody can reverse this moment, its directly written to the storage of infinity. Thats all that I know for sure, so I try to live in this moment and be the very best version of myself. Our thoughts, our energy is preserved right now, we don't have to earn our place in infinity, we are already there 🙏!
You won’t care about your thoughts and words not being preserved after you die.. Death releases you from all suffering, the thought of death now should also relieve a lot of suffering as it provides perspective to life’s problems.
Really? I’ve never had any desire for leaving a trace or legacy whatsoever. In fact, once I’m dead, I would love to be forgotten as soon as possible. It helps to know that we will all be forgotten in time. None of us is above this hard truth. Even Marcus Aurelius knew it 2000 years ago. Not sure why he keeps coming back to the forefront of my thoughts lately.
Childrens and apprentices are our legacy. So spend our time sharing knowledge and experience. You are so eager for information and your scientific approache with your social reach is a great set of skills for those. Keep going.
The state of the universe will reflect your actions forever, albeit in a somewhat convoluted way.
