Delusion, desperation, existential terror.
Come on. Lets not act like we don't know why they're so insistent on their beliefs.
Not a single person here right now would turn down the offer to live forever if it were legitimate. Don't give me anything about how you would miss blah blah too much. Anyone who says they wouldn't either doesn't understand that concept of immortality or is lying. Immortality is a game changer. It means even the most serious of matters become trivial because suddenly its all in a blink of an eye. You have forever to resolve whatever you need to, nothing need ever be left undone. No unfinished business. The knowledge of eons, the ability to correct any mistake no matter how big over ice ages. The ability to endlessly pursue perfection in whatever you see fit.
We all know even that is not on the table however. You know that one day you will find yourselves halfway through the most enthralling book to discover the rest of the pages are missing. Then the lights will go out. Then nothing. You will never know what came next, you will never know what was on the very last sentence of the very last page. For you its over... mid-way through a sentence. That day is coming. It will arrive for all of us here. There is nothing you will ever say that can make it something that is ok.
Oblivion is a hound that is *constantly* on your heels and noone wants to live on the run. Noone wants to see its handiwork either.
Thats why. If we can't stop pretending we don't know this issue is unsettling then good luck convincing them to stop pretending it isn't real.
