Strikes empires from the root.

So many people romanticize death as a way of trying to deal with it. After working with an Oklahoman hospice and seeing the reality, I really appreciate the noted last words of Richard Feynman:

"I'd hate to die twice. It's so boring." - Richard Feynman

Usually, it is more painful and confusing. A short, that is for Feynman, intro at wikipedia:

Richard Phillips Feynman (pronounced /ˈfaɪnmən/ FYEN-mən; May 11, 1918 – February 15, 1988) was an American physicist known for his work in the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics, the theory of quantum electrodynamics and the physics of the superfluidity of supercooled liquid helium, as well as in particle physics (he proposed the parton model). For his contributions to the development of quantum electrodynamics, Feynman, jointly with Julian Schwinger and Sin-Itiro Tomonaga, received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1965. He developed a widely used pictorial representation scheme for the mathematical expressions governing the behavior of subatomic particles, which later became known as Feynman diagrams. During his lifetime, Feynman became one of the best-known scientists in the world.

He assisted in the development of the atomic bomb and was a member of the panel that investigated the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster. In addition to his work in theoretical physics, Feynman has been credited with pioneering the field of quantum computing,[2] and introducing the concept of nanotechnology.[3] He held the Richard Chace Tolman professorship in theoretical physics at the California Institute of Technology.

Feynman was a keen popularizer of physics through both books and lectures, notably a 1959 talk on top-down nanotechnology called There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom and The Feynman Lectures on Physics. Feynman also became known through his semi-autobiographical books (Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman! and What Do You Care What Other People Think?) and books written about him, such as Tuva or Bust!

He was regarded as an eccentric and free spirit. He studied Maya hieroglyphs, was a prankster, juggler, safecracker, bongo player, and a proud amateur painter.

Ive been thinking about volunteering for some hospice. Things like that, and cemeteries and other things are good ways to help keep your blood boiling against death.

I was at the grave yard yesterday visiting my great grandfather, great grandmother, great uncle, great aunt, and uncles graves.

I noticed once more that there werent any parties in the cemetery. The cemetery is a bleak, stark, desolate hard reality that Im not convinced everybody faces head on.

I often contemplate the stories that might have proceeded these peoples last stop here. For example I was looking at this grave:
 grave_fish_074.jpg   788.87KB   4 downloads
Three children, somebodies 3 dear children, born all to die with in a year or two in the 1910s. How sad that must have been for the children. Look at all theyve missed out on. They could have grown to be seasoned explorers and learners of the world by now, could have all been approaching 100 years old. But why were they taken? Why did they have to die?

You go to the other side of the stone and you can see their parents:  grave_fish_078.jpg   720.96KB   1 downloads
Born in 1877, died in the 1950s and 1960s. How painful that must have been for them to watch their children die, and then live with it for 40 years. Sad yes, do we wish their pain could have been alleviated? Yes. And then their ultimate reward after all of that pain was death for themselves. Born into tragedy and then wiped from existence.

Dont wish for the pain to be alleviated. Do something about it, now.

I cried a lot at a gravestone of a three-year-old "our little sunshine" because that`s exactly what our 3-year old is and I am acutely aware that I can - and will - lose him forever one day because of my own death or, worse even, because of his

I cry at pictures of my grandmother Franziska (dead), great-grandmother Anna (dead), grandfather Ernst (dead) - they all loved life so. My great-grandmother was a very modern woman, had a child at 17, balked at the idea of marrying a man she didnt love too much, became a single mom and worked as a seamstress, married for love a few years later and remained the matriarch of the family. She declined a lot cognitively over the last three years of her life. ALAS! Let`s STOP THIS.

I cry for myself and my children and everyone I love quite frequently

I cry at obituaries

you do not have to visit a graveyard to be aware of death

but what I also do not understand is why not every single human on this planet is fighting death 100%???

I mean, I understand for theists, but everyone else? They should be on the barricades, no?

It's because most people are simply not informed of the information we people think about everyday. At least that is what me and BP believe.

In the last couple of years Ive taken on the hobby of exploring grave yards. I think its an excellent way for a lot of people to keep their indifference down and their blood boiling. They say that people are more likely to take action when they have recently been effected by a significant emotional event, the more significant the better. On a scale of 1 to 10, if indifference is 0, and horrible explosion with many deaths of people you know is 10, then I would rate paying homage at a cemetery as around a 4 or a 5. I think its good for you. Pay attention to death, think about it, actualize it by contemplating it, and do it often. Take that anger, take that sorrow, take that fear, that frustration, that feeling of futility, all that, whatever there may be, and channel it into action. It gets you fed up, and makes you want to do something about it with ever greater determination and resolve.

Fear is things you havent figured out yet. Dont spend time dwelling on how you havent figured it out, set to work figuring it out, that is, how to stop the graveyards from filling up with great and innocent people with hopes, dreams and families.

"Courage is not the absence of fear, but the strength to do what is right in the face of it."

So stare into the depths of the horror, feel it, touch it, know it, actualize it, think about it. Fear never creeps up into my conciousness any more, it hasnt for many many years, only strength.

When I go through cemeteries, I almost always contemplate what might have been, what their story might have been, what they might think about their death, etc...

In my journeys, Ive recently begun looking up famous people buried in my area so that I might add to the dynamics of these graveyard visits. It also gives me an excuse to search more stones. I recently found a fascinating and sad story from the town of Plover near me. In the 1800's there was a local politician that went to the Senate. He owned a peice of land with Amos and Isiah Courtwright. The Sentator, (or his family after his death, Im not clearn on that) sold their half of the land, and were waiting for the money from the Courtwrights. They wouldnt pay so in October of 1875 Sheriff Joe Baker went out there to talk to them and the Courtwrights shot and killed him. They were jailed and a few days later a mob broke them out and hung them on the site of the present day health care center about 5 block from here. They are all buried in the Plover cemetery.

Joe is buried here. I couldnt find the Courtwrights. Joes 7 year old son died in January of that year. I wonder if that played into anger he might have/probably had when confronting the Courtwrights.

In my high school book I read this one from V century B.C., thought it was moving in a funny way :

This is where I layed - Brotachos the Cretenese, I came from Giritine. But this was not what I came for, but for merchandise.

People you may have heard of that are now recently obliterated for eternity.

I see your trying to rally the troops, although I personally now prefer not to dwell on death, I certainly see your point. Of course it infuriates us all. But I think we have to beat so many diseases as well.

I'm sorry for not looking for dead people online. But felt I had to say that.

[brokenportal]

I wonder if there is a program that could be made where you submit a name and a picture and the program puts the picture into a continuously expanding square, so then when you go to the link, you see nothing but thumbs of people who have died on your screen and you can scroll left and right to see more, like google earth, but for crisis showing effect. To help people directly realize the impact of what is going on and be a tool to help try to lift the murderous veil of indifference from them. Most of the world will support this cause one of these years, soon, and its tools like this that can help make that happen.

Can you program such a thing?

“Desire is half of life; indifference is half of death.” -Kahlil Gibran

Paying homage to the dead is one of the most important things you can do. They brought you here. Its your duty to not put them out of your mind.

“Indifference may not wreck a man's life at any one turn, but it will destroy him with a kind of dry-rot in the long run” -Bliss Carman

When you don’t see the death, its much easier not to care about the death. A person will eat a hamburger but gag at the site of seeing a cow butchered. Many people will send thousands off to war to be killed but will not go down to the battlefield, or will vomit and not do that again. People have been indifferent toward death for thousands of years, maybe that’s a part of the reason why we still have it. To put suffering out of your mind is to put the urgency out of your mind. That same principle is why when you touch a hot stove you jerk your finger away. However with death we have removed most signs of it from our every day living. We have removed the pain from the stove, and now people sit on the hot stove as though it were no big deal, slowing burning themselves up.

"Never, never, be afraid to do what’s right, especially if the well-being of a person or animal is at stake. Society’s punishments are small compared to the wounds we inflict on our soul when we look the other way."
Martin Luther King, Jr.

"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."
Martin Luther King Jr.

"For one who is indifferent, life itself is a prison. Any sense of community is external or, even worse, nonexistent. Thus, indifference means solitude. Those who are indifferent do not see others. They feel nothing for others and are unconcerned with what might happen to them. They are surrounded by a great emptiness. Filled by it, in fact. They are devoid of all hope as well as imagination. In other words, devoid of any future." -Elie Wiesel

"Death is a very dull, dreary affair, and my advice to you is to have nothing whatsoever to do with it."
W. Somerset Maugham

"Life is better than death, I believe, if only because it is less boring, and because it has fresh peaches in it." -Alice Walker

"The idea is to die young as late as possible." -Ashley Montagu

"Time rushes towards us with its hospital tray of infinitely varied narcotics, even while it is preparing us for its inevitably fatal operation." -Tennessee Williams

"'Tis very certain the desire of life prolongs it." -Lord Byron

"To himself everyone is immortal; he may know that he is going to die, but he can never know that he is dead."
-Samuel Butler

[bacopa]

I don't know, but you're doing a good job of getting me angry about death, especially, more untimely death then death itself, or dying before the normative aging of today.

Boy this guy certainly deserved to die right? If your not doing a lot for indefinite life extension already, then stay tuned because your opportunity to help expedite the arrival of this saver of lives like those of Ed Mauser are coming soon. The Eds of this world deserve better than grave yards.

One of my old girlfriends grandpas fought at Normandy like Winters. He looked just like Winters, same demeanor, same stern gaze, and they were both from Hershey Pennsylvania. I still have a hard time believing it wasnt him.

They're pretty gruesome websites. But on the other hand, they're interesting ways to see people obsessively collect articles about the health conditions/hospital visits of famous people. Basically, you predict 20 people who might die in the next year, and you score points for every person who dies (the younger the person, the more points you score).

It's not really scientific, but it's still an interesting way to develop intuition about what factors ultimately cause someone's death. I've been following these sites for around half a decade now.

Also, google the author "canadian paul". he does A LOT of research, including research into nonagenarians who are still living (but who aren't on genarians.org) => http://en.wikipedia....l/Nonagenarians

He also had a dead pool but it's gone now.

One of our greatest foes when it comes to accomplishing indefinite life extension is indifference. Concepts like these are one tool that can help keep peoples blood boiling for the cause.

Reasons we dedicate ourselves to this cause:




I think its tragically funny that some people treat this cause so nonchalantly, as if the time you have right now is so concrete and real, and the time youll spend in oblivion is anything less than devastating for eternity.
