What an insanely bad deal: I pay my life, and I get a thing which somewhat increases the quality of my life, contingent on me having ambitions that are big enough to require a death-sized motivational tool.<p>Why would you ever choose &quot;dying&quot; over &quot;not dying&quot;? If you live to be a million years old you have a million years to achieve all your dreams, albeit you don&#x27;t have as much motivation to achieve them in the first 80 years of your life. If you only live 80 years, then you have a lot of motivation to achieve all your dreams in that timespan but (a) your ambitions might not be achievable in 80 years (b) whatever satisfaction you get from achieving your dreams runs out once you die anyway and worst of all (c) you lose 999920 years of life.<p>It stands to reason that whoever chooses &quot;die at 80&quot; over &quot;die at 1e6&quot; or even &quot;never die&quot; just doesn&#x27;t value living very much.
