The human condition is defined by our unbearable awareness of our mortality. There is no other species on this planet that loses sleep over the fact that one day we will cease to be. Human beings, all of the copious things we have created -- love, music, religion, technology, media, architecture, poetry, skydiving -- it is all a response to the human's unbearable awareness of mortality. We all want to create something in this world that will not die in the way that we do. These responses to our awareness of mortality is what builds our human collective and how we interact. These creations are what keep our cognitive-self churning.
create something you like before you die
