If we accept mortality then we could all just suicide and save
ourselves alot of trouble. Plus save alot of earth's resources for
species that don't have this existential question with living.

What is the point of life if not fun and survival? One could easily
argue that life is pointless which seems a small step from your

don't think some mere mortal human is going to argue that I'm not a
God.
