I think the ideal death is to go on living. The ideal death is temporary, psychedelic experience, then you have all the advantages of death and you still come back to enjoy life some more. I�m really in favor of abolishing death. It�s the #1 killer and it�s time we made a concerted effort to wipe it out.

I think other cultures prepare their societies for death better than Western culture does. It�s because monotheistic religions like Judaism, Christianity and Islam are religions of control, domination and totalitarianism. So naturally they are going to train us to think that if someone is severely injured, you call the ambulance, and if the person is Catholic, you call the priest. They come like black vultures circling around the corpse. To make sure that the Catholic church controls the conception, they control choice� abortion� and they fanatically control dying� Prolonged death. Sacrament.
