Once, men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.

Death is stalking us!
Thanks for the reminder friend.

"Your death is the end of your world.
How do you know?
I always walk with death, side by side, on a deadly* basis. Knowing that the worst thing that can happen to you in in this current physical reality is death, you no longer have anything to fear.
edit: obviously I meant daily

I would say that agonizing emotional or physical pain can be quite a bit worse than death, because with death there is no longer any you to suffer.

Fear is part of the landscape. Using death as an advisor is one way to bring fear down to a manageable and perhaps usable level.

That's the conclusion I would arrive at if I were to use logic. But you're right, I don't know this to be so for a fact, and neither do you know otherwise.
I'm speculating again so I'll just shut up now.

pascal's wager!
If there is an afterlife, great!
If not, its not like 'I' will be there to be disappointed!
but still, I believe
for belief in god, justice, and eternal rest is a utilitarian belief
it gets me through the day, and it helps me disarm the world with a smile

Perhaps I've always been here, but with a bit of luck after this lifetime I'll never return.

Having many jobs in marketing and sales, I've learned that a smile and attitude are actually prominent to your skill level.

I fear pain more than death. pain is punishment.
death is a big fucking reward. Assuming of course that you have no outstanding debts to be paid

meh. Its not really fun to me if the prerequisites aren't met.
why would I want to have sex with a machine?
most of the women on this planet are just that.
They are meat puppets.
They have no soul, no respect, no love, no honor, no dignity.
In other words, they have nothing I desire.
I might as well be jacking off.

Have you met most of the women on this planet? I think you're overgeneralizing.
