[mukto-mona] Immortality

A very fascinating talk by Philosopher Stephen Cave.

------------------------------------------------

The 4 stories we tell ourselves about death

'Philosopher Stephen Cave begins with a dark but compelling question: When did you first realize you were going to die? And even more interestingly: Why do we humans so often resist the inevitability of death? In a fascinating talk Cave explores four narratives -- common across civilizations -- that we tell ourselves "in order to help us manage the terror of death."
