I'm not from the 1st world, so it adds a bit of a darker attitude. To me it looks pretty insane that you earn so much money, have so high quality of life and yet you don't invest nearly as much as possible into life extension. Instead you buy big overpriced houses and other weird stuff.

Also looks like the mods banned me.

Ok, I think I can see why that would be extra frustrating, on top of the already quite sufficient horror of death. Nevertheless, it is probably a good idea to stay civil and try to communicate meaningfully, rather than venting emotions in a forum that is about a specific person's pain and death. I think it's important to have difficult discussions about e.g. death, deathism, etc., but being combatative---even if it makes perfect emotional sense---does not seem likely to have good effects on most people, including yourself.
