Aubrey de Gray calls it the “pro-aging trance.” Practically everything that goes wrong in our society can be traced back to the fact that people don't have open horizons and don't believe in the future.

@AndreyMakarov-i7h Wrong, if you really believe in an eternal heavenly afterlife, this world has no meaning or value except as an entry ticket. Fanatical Muslims behave in an absolutely rational way in accordance with this worldview. Just like Etruscans or other cultures that joyfully celebrated the death of their loved ones as an entry into a better world. This is only logical because after all you will spend more millennia in paradise than seconds on earth. Christians who cry at a grave don't really believe otherwise they would rejoice from the bottom of their hearts. That applies to 99,9%. The “belief” in God in the West is not a belief but a collective fearful hope.
