Nah, it's just the Fable of the Dragon Tyrant. We've been conditioned to think that death somehow gives life meaning, and without it we'd be different, inhuman, but it's just us coping with inevitability of it all. I'm with transhumanists here, the last enemy to be vanquished is death.

We call the practice "medicine" and it's hard. That does not seem to be what "The Fable of the Dragon Tyrant" and it's like is selling. Just like disaster prep turned out to not be what the zombie people were selling. Aaaaaaaand we might be finding out about all this right now, in real time. /fin
