I want to smell dark matter
"Do you ever think about the fact that you're going to die?" Keira asked her nine year old daughter, Mindy.

"What, mummy?" asked Mindy. "I won't die until I'm one hundred like grandma!"

"Mindy your gran was 69 and she died of AIDS," said Keira. "AND SO WILL YOU!"

Mindy woke up with a start. "What a strange dream," she said and went back to sleep.

Mindy and her mother were found dead of carbon monoxide poisoning the next day. Neither woke up again during the night or even knew that their lives were about to end.

"WHAT'S THE FUCKING POINT!" said Keira's husband, Barry, who had been away on business. "MY WIFE AND MY DAUGHTER FUCKING DEAD! WE CAN ALL DIE AT ANY MOMENT! WHY DO ANYTHING! WHY EAT BREAKFAST WHEN YOU'RE JUST GOING TO DIE! WHY LIVE AT ALL!"

Barry jumped in front of a train fifteen minutes later. A big train.
 
that might do.
but if it didn't he'd be a mangled wreck and people would pity him and he'd be forced to live as a shattered shell whilst being perfectly conscious. which would suck.
 
Would it really make it any easier to know when we're going to die? Or would it simply make everyone depressed and unable to truly live?
 
IMHO it would prove to be ultimately debilitating.
Best to not have a time table for that sort of thing.
 
If you knew the exact date when you were going to die you would be able to work around it, do everything you want to before that date, and not have to worry about death until that day comes. Surely that's better than randomly being blown up by an exploding toilet at 29 or something?
 
If you live like everyday is your last day (which I don't, I'm just saying) wouldn't you still be able to do all the things you want to do? Or at least a lot of the things you want to do? I don't know wtf I want to do anyway so knowing the exact moment of my death wouldn't help me at all.
