Abstract
Our own evolutionary path as a species has put us in an impossible position. We developed the capacity to perceive a life beyond death, or at least to long for it, thousands of years before we could do anything about it.This essay explores how we’ve adapted to death emotionally and intellectually, the price we’ve paid for this accommodation, and how it’s time now for a new posture towards mortality that aligns with our growing ability to alter it.
