Since it's just you and me on this quiet Sunday am, I'll treat you to The San Bernardino Metaphysics.
The short of it is...I'm not sure if I care whether I get shot and killed by the terrorists (you can sub in plane crash, anything, doesn't have to be caused by the terrorists, but let's stay with current events). The natural objection is that I'll "miss" everything that I won't be around for, or that people might actually "miss" me, causing them some level of pain and suffering. Here's the br8kdown;
1. I go to a "better" place - win
2. I turn into dirt - win in the sense that I'm oblivious, so I'm not "miss"ing anything
3. Go to "worse" place - lose before I get a chance to "redeem" myself
That's a two thirds shot at a pretty big upside (at least two thirds, probably higher under current Pope). Of course it leaves behind the "loved" ones, but if I hit pay dirt, wouldn't I just be pulling for them to join me?
Obviously this is cherry-picking the "final" result. Nobody wants to get shot in the neck and have to drive a wheelchair with a straw. However, I wouldn't mind a shot with full recovery, say taking one to the thigh with no lasting repercussions. Could use some downtime, and that's a gr8 story.
Holes?
