If I could live forever, should I? How does being reminded of our own mortality affect us psychologically? In this episode I speak with mortician and death positivity activist Caitlin Doughty and visit a cryonics facility trying to extend human life indefinitely. Will I take them up on their offer, or will I choose to die?

You probably should, but not anytime soon

KZhead loves you.
"Or should you?!" Hmm.... Consciousness is like a running computer "program/code", it runs while the human body is powered on with blood flowing, but once the heart stops so does the brain and thus the "program/code". The body is nothing but a "tin can" a "vehicle" or a "laptop" if you will. Once the brain dies the body is nothing but an empty shell... just burn it, bury it, there's really nothing sexy about it. lmao

"I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it." - Mark Twain
It actually gives us an interesting debate,is after death same than before birth ?Because its still speculation,and what is asserted without proofs can be refuted without proofs.
@@momokaka321 There's good evidence to suggest that consciousness is a function of the brain. Once the brain dies, consciousness dies with it. Hence, nothingness before, nothingness after
@@momokaka321It’s not a debate, it’s a fact that sadly the majority of the world cannot accept. When our brain dies there is nothing left to be capable of feeling anything. Death is the end
@@rnomromro6715 You still cannot assume that with what we know now, if that was the case how did we go from "dead" to "living" in the first place. If you can spontaneously live from nothing, what is to say you cannot do it again. I don't mind if I am wrong because I do know I won't care nor will I be able to care after I die lol.
@@rnomromro6715 The question of what happens after death is a deeply philosophical and existential one, and it has been a topic of debate for centuries among theologians, philosophers, and scientists. However, it's important to note that the question of what happens after death remains a matter of belief and speculation because there is no conclusive scientific evidence or empirical proof that definitively answers this question. The nature of consciousness, the existence of an afterlife, or what might happen after death are still open questions without universally accepted answers. In summary,you have expressed a specific viewpoint on death, it's important to recognize that the nature of death and what, if anything, comes after it is still a topic of philosophical debate and remains open to interpretation. It's not a settled fact but rather a matter of personal belief and perspective.
This made me realize that a lot of people taking the test probably don't realize how severe a 10 year sentence is.

I would give a zero for the person sunbathing nude.
I'm curious about the language used by the actor to introduce the questionnaire to the control group. To me, "this is just about your gut-level reactions" could have prompted the control group to answer faster than the study group, which in turn could've affected the interpretation that the study group members were more thoughtful. Basically, it seems that the control group was encouraged to answer quickly.
id like to think the followed the same protocol for both groups
the actors were likely told ot say the exact same thing

Always coming back here when my death anxiety kicks in
It’s crazy when you REALLY sit and think about an inevitable death clock we all have on our heads. What is the final tick? would you know all of a sudden, you’re not alive, dead? Where would you be in time? Will you know the cancellation of existence??? How can you? Why is this even a thing everyone experience?? We’ve been around advancing in knowledge for centuries, yet still can’t dig into the unknown realm of death. I always end with the fact that despite I know nothing about death, I someday will… or will I? I guess I wouldn’t be able to comprehend that I’m dead. Shits crazy but it’s gonna happen 🥲

@@ThunderTurtle7 I was litterly wanted to type that xD Damn gg
I've been dealing with death a lot as a 22 year old. Nobody has died around me but just the realization that I'm going to be in a moment like this one looking through my eyes and thinking internally and it's gonna be the moment when I take my last breath and everything will fade away I assume. I don't know how to even think about what it will look like after that. After it all goes black or after I fall asleep or whatever it feels like in that moment. It's terrifying. That moment haunts me and it's never even happened yet. Everything I've ever known and experienced will just not be anymore. No more internal dialogue, no more dreams, no more love or anger, or pain or happiness. My atoms will fall apart and turn into nothing again. How am I supposed to even deal with that? It's an endless cycle that I can't come to terms with. I also disagree with that lady when she said that death brings life meaning. I'm haunted by that moment, yes, but it's not why I'm thinking right now. It's not why I'm getting up and feeding myself right now. It's not why I'm wanting to feel sunlight right now. It's the utter absence of all of those things. how am I not supposed to be upset that I won't get to experience those things anymore?
Exactly. The thing that has helped me the most to cope with these same thoughts is the sentiment she kinda touched on with "Living as long as i can till technology saves me" because i doubt ill live long enough to see technology reach that point even if im cryo frozen. What i take from that statement tho is something that ive already told myself many times and its the thought that even tho that moment will come, im going to keep going out of spite. To say fuck you, ill last as long as i want to and im going to keep running every time the reaper is close because i know eventually itll catch me. But that doesn't mean i have to let it win till it has to. While this thinking doesn't help everyone it has certainly helped me. Especially with making decisions in my life and teaching me what i really want from this existence. Each moment im not true to what i really want from this life is a moment wasted. And i wont let the reaper win by lettin me waste more time stressing about its inevitable arrival.
“After Life NDE” On KZhead. It’s a very Christian biased channel. They only pick Christian’s to talk to on Zoom, but it’s very interesting hearing the thousands of reports of people describing their experiences with near death experiences. You’ll be okay ❤
Michael should look at organic burial pod options. I think it's an amazing idea to become the source of life for a tree. Also it's a really cool landmark for family to visit.
Sounds wonderful, the roots tangling themselves around my bones, breaking me down faster, turning me to dust, to be forgotten easier than before. Honestly, that sounds nice
Honestly my decaying body feeding a tree would be more of a use than I am right now.
Hopefully this will be considered weird by the general population within this century
@a.q.2330 What's weird about it? Literally every dead organism feeds another in some way. Why do you think corpses turn into bones? Decomposers like Fungi and Bacteria break down the soft parts of the body to sustain themselves. It's just natural.
Moral of the story: the average person will hand out a 10 years sentence for almost anything.
Ikr they jump straight to 10 years for something like vandalism, I get that it is a national monument but thats basically a life changing amount of time
If by "average person" you mean "insufficient sample size of people", yes.
Holy fuck i couldn't believe people were giving those sentences for things like Vandalism. Shit, 10 years is a lot of time
I mean, it's nationalism and pride. The dumbest part of humans, but a part nonetheless

Love to see Caitlin Doughty, I love her perspective on life and death.
She was an amazing guest
I would prefer a button that added 100 years to my life. After that 100 years, I’d decide whether I’d press it again
A bit late on this video, and this comment. When I think about death I relate it to my (at the time) life long best friend that passed abruptly when we were 18. I remember how absolutely gutted I was, how unfair it felt etc etc. Now many years later, I can't help but think about how full those 18 years were. When I compare it to my own life, even with all these extra years I've lived passed him my life still feels less full than he had with much less time. It's hard to always keep perspective on this, but living hundreds of years of working a job that doesn't fulfill you will never be as meaningful as living 18 full of love and adventures, and I think without death lurking around the corner for us all, we'd never care enough to give that love or spend the time needed to make life worth it. I hope you find your transcendent purpose so you don't feel the need to ever press that button.
Hmm, Though i want both, to be fulfilled and live long and more, The unfulfilling life is the result of a system that demands efficiency and exploitation over sentient decency. An emphatiless system..., so if one wants to work, try to work on a more human centric company or people hehehe This reality has a lot more to offer, I don't think about death nor does it motivate me to do meaningful stuff. Those things are meaningful by themself. We are the ones that gives meaning to the meaningless. I want to experience an era where we can save the sun, and put a tracker on consciousness... an era of rejuvinators, so we can even save even those who have died, and of ressurectors The mark of a non-ideal civilization is deaths and suffering, so the mark of an advanced civilization would be the reverse of that, Even if we can't act. We are the witnessers, and I wanna witness more Let's see if a pure consciousness can insert itself into this universe, a unientity. I hope you all have a fulfilling life and more
i know comparing this topic to works of fiction might be a little insensitive, but all i can think of is a part of the sandman comics. a man named hob declares that he won’t die because he’s just decided that he won’t. Dream overhears this and gets Death to allow him to keep living. every 100 years Dream meets back up with Hob to see how he is and if he still wants to keep living. No matter how miserable or unfulfilling a life hob lives between those meetings, he always says that he wants to keep on living. it’s the first time in any media where a character has been faced with eternity and decided to keep living. it’s hard to think about whether or not i’d be the same.

Am I the only one who does want to die? Not right now but I can't imagine living forever. Even without the whole aging process I think 100-200 years is way more than enough. Even beyond 100 years of healthy happy life it's getting absurd. I'm a scientist and the biggest and saddest realization is to know I will die not knowing a billionth of what there is to know. But without a deadline there is no drive to move forward. and I'd prefer a short life of knowledge than an eternity of ignorance

But should you?
A powerful piece, and very respectful. Well done!
seeing people say this gave them comfort just confuses me, only because I’m so terrified of the idea of death. Recently it’s come to my mind a lot, i often find myself having a laugh or a good time only to remember this sad fact. Is it bad that i want to stay? is it bad that i don’t want to go indefinitely? I wish this wasn’t a truth of life or something to accept as i feel i can’t accept it. i’ve heard different perspectives and have talked to many people who i feel are wise enough, but that doesn’t change the fact that one day i will dissipate from what i once was. i tried not crying multiple times this video over it as it’s just been such a tough topic for me. regardless i just hope everyone here finds the comfort i haven’t and i hope i can find as well (sorry i just had to vent somewhere).
I think one thing people find comforting about the video is that this is something every person grapples with. You aren't alone in your anxieties. It can be scary, and that's okay. There a couple of things I would suggest that might help you, because they've helped me, but if they don't that's okay as well. Remember that even if someone else's ideas don't work for you, that doesn't mean they don't understand. You aren't alone. The first thing I would recommend, particularly for the moments where anxiety is particularly strong, is to ground yourself in the moment. Take a deep breath and feel that you are alive right now. You can see and feel the world around you. Your mind might keep straying to detrimental anxieties about death but try to just focus on the physicality of where you are right now. Maybe look into mindfulness techniques. This doesn't mean pushing your fear down or ignoring that death is an option, just regrounding yourself in reality when your mind starts to spiral. Second, reframing things might be useful. Death doesn't mean your existence never was. Your convinces is an emergent pattern born from the way the universe is currently ordered. You aren't the same person you were ten years ago, and you aren't the person who will be here ten years from now. Your atoms come from the universe and you are made up of the same matter as everything else. When you die, you will change. But that doesn't mean you stop existing. You will be part of this universe, your impact on places and people will shape what comes, and new things will take form. You've been stardust before and you'll be stardust again. And we'll be stardust together. Even if you won't quite be you, you won't be alone.

Seeing Caitlyn get so excited to hear that Michael is willing to make choices about his death is so cool. Especially because it is exactly what she advocates for. I love her so much, she has helped me become more comfortable with death even if it still is horribly terrifying. I hope i get to meet her one day.
I agree it’s a good thing to do
I’ve got to be honest, the theory is honestly completely opposite of what my personal experience has been. I used to be very judgmental and harsh on a certain group of people who I have extremely different opinions with, and I used to want all sorts of bad things to happen to them. Not death or torture, but being ostracized, treated differently, instilled with fear and terror, etc. Once I had my own months-long death scare (extremely health anxiety and frequent panic attacks, nothing’s actually wrong with me thankfully) I began to have a change in attitude, wishing to treat them equally and not wanting anything bad to happen to anyone. Because as Megatron said when he disbanded the Decepticons, “I now know the true meaning of oppression, and have thus lost my taste for inflicting it”.

One of the reasons I have come to accept my own mortality, is that even if life could be prolonged, it hardly makes sense to be done indefinitely. Aging is hard, and as time passes, it's not just a fight against aging but a fight against time and entropy itself. Immortality doesn't make sense without eternal youth. So, I guess that's right, someday I will have to return the atoms in my body to Earth and the universe.

If I were in the experimental group, I think the main thing that would have given me pause would have been specifically that the punishments consisted of jail sentences - time taken away from someone. the more aware of morality you are, I think anyway, the more cognitive dissonance it's going to cause to say "ten years of this person's life should be spent in jail." It's taking away a limited and precious resource.
The lady looks like if death were a person and the dude looks like if business was a person
Well, then Death is hot, and Business looks pretty cool.

Very nice representation
Death is portrayed as a cool dude and honestly every actor from "the men who built america" look better for the latter role

Get Jordan Peterson on this show.
That’s basically what she’s doing. Only it’s the cure for the deadliest decease, and she’s ripping it out of your mind.
LOL
that's very accurate when you die, it happens in the now, it's suicidal and anyone who says that needs help.
*I'm not afraid of the fact that I will die one day.* _But I greatly fear the circumstances of my death._ A quick death in my sleep Vs. a long slow painful, agonising death.
I can’t remember a day I didn’t think about dying and my mortality and it utterly molds the way I live my life and spend my time. I definitely think this affects how u act, just I think the level it affects your actions varies with everyone
Don't tell me you know about death before 9?
"I have decided I want to die" "I'm so glad and you've come to the right place" ....RUN!!!
Right, each person should come to their own conclusion and should be supported. What if Michael said Neuro, would she have been disappointed?
@@ileikts I know the comment was made in humor, but the lady did have a clear bias towards coming to that conclusion from her earlier segment. Good times! Michael rocks!
28:22 "I decided i want to die" "you have come to the right place" Nothing schetchy going on here just a normal conversation between 2 people
"ah, I'm glad you decided to die"
This kinda sounds like something out of a cult without context.

I've always hated the platitude that the only thing giving things meaning is that it ends, including life. It's not a perspective I'm able to process as it seems like a complete non-sequester fabricated by people in denial about what death and non-existence are, and seeking to make it more romantic. Things have value because it incites a feeling of some kind (in yourself or others,) be it sating curiosity, deriving fulfillment, or simply experiencing non-descript joy. To me that has nothing to do with time or timing. I do things because I want and can experience them, not because I might not tomorrow. Yes, you could do that thing in two-hundred years, but why would you? It's interesting and fun now.. That's all you should need as motivator. Should things no longer incite those feelings, and become a dull monotone, then sure, that's the point where living no longer makes sense. But I could live a thousand lifetimes and always have something (new) to learn or do on this planet alone, let alone the galaxy, let alone the universe. I don't foresee ever wanting to die out of a sense of being 'done,' it's simply a horrific inconvenience I have to make my peace with.

Thank you for showing us that we have a choice and that there is hope to over come death and that we are not all doomed to end are lives in this century or even end them at all
Omg, that was so eye-opening for me the part with the mortician (mid video)
I have to say, I am far more terrified of the people I love dying than of my own death.
More repeatable trauma :(
Same
I'm only terrified of dying early, I'll gladly die when I'm at least 60 years old
yep i feel that , death is meh! but still living without everyone i love is terrifying

The new sandman show has an awesome episode, i believe its episode 6. Its about the god of dreams offering a stranger immortality, every 100 years he asks the stranger how eternity is and asks if he would like 100 more years. Really awesome.
My question is, for the Neuros, if they are revived, how do they get around?
Finally, now I can die without having to buy KZhead Premium.

I wanna live forever, the whole idea excites me, imagine all the stuff you could Learn, all the skills you could develop you could be an expert at any topic, study as much as you want
But if you age then your body will be weaker and weaker until there is no point, and eventually physically can't do anything.
Then think of the boredom after having done it all and seen it all and then you're left with nothing. Its just not right and should never be allowed.
@@meemtiem1273 why do people always assume that we'll figure out immortality without solving aging?
@@Keyecomposerwhy do people always think, that if we live as long as we want, it means we can't die? We can die when we want to.
@@KutaibonI think it's scarier the fact of not knowing what will be when you wake up. It could be a really fucked up world where life isn't worth living. In death, at least, it'll be like returning to nothing. You don't know what returning to nothing is like, but you at least know that it won't be sad nor happy. It'll be nothing. Of course, assuming that you do not believe in an after life.
I think the right answer is to try to live, keep trying, we are more likely to fulfill the purpose of the universe if we are capable. So live. Sounds like he pretended to listen then doubled down on what he wanted rationalizing suicide rather than fighting for his priceless life.
Michael: "I've decided that I do want to eventually die" Death Positivity Lady: "Well you've come to the right place" RUN MICHAEL, RUN!

Or should I
What is wrong with leaving this crooked world, to rejoin the others who have already taken the journey. Why run, when the best is what your running from?
@@377GhrHello Well you see, the joke above indicates that Michael does not yet wish to die, but implies that perhaps the woman who he's speaking with may be planning to murder him against his wishes. Therefore, he should remove himself from the potential danger to his wishes. If you would like to convince Michael that he should want to embrace death now, I'm afraid you'll have to contact him directly as I don't know him or his actual feelings on the subject.
Some of then said 10 years in prison for graffiti wtf
on a national monument. still dont think 10 years is appropriate probably could do eith just 1 year and an ass beating.
Get Jordan Peterson on this show.
Patriotism is a belief of following land and government. When beliefs are challenged, people are naturally offended. Vandalism to them is blasphemous action.
Graffiti on 1000 peoples eye balls. You said "LITERALLY ANYTHING" :P

i want to live, dying is so boring and there is so many things i want to learn. so many things i could do, and want to do. I've always been utterly fascinated by the future and space, i want to see what humans hold in the future. i want to be appart of it, hopefully.
The ability to be alive forever would give me the chance to really understand and feel everything about stuff in insane depth. I dont think death makes things worth in the first place. Most people I know dont think anything is worth anyways. What I mean is there would still be no reason to do stuff=no difference. You would still have fealings that are subjective and still ignore death and still have goals or no goal. Death not existing wouldnt have that effect they just trying to find reasons so they can accept death because they fear it so much but in the end they still wants to live forever.
Just because you want to live forever doesn’t mean everyone does. I, personally, am pretty content with the amount of years i’ve been given.
