Does Consciousness Disappear in Dreamless Sleep?
(lemmy.world)
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
It's not rational. Evolution has hardwired us and every other organism that has the necessary neural architecture to fear death and seek to avoid it. A species that didn't have an instinctive and heritable aversion to death would not last very long.
Describe your "aversion" to death any way you want to, if in the end it results in something that very much looks like fear, I think you're making a distinction without a difference.
