According to best-selling author Peter Attia, we should start fighting death immediately. Okay, what about the big feelings?
Admittedly, the following quote stands on shaky ground, severely weakened by the present, but it still stands: “In a society in which no one smokes anymore and everyone wears bicycle helmets, everyone wants to live as long as possible. But the lover doesn’t want a long life Life, he wants the big feeling.” It comes from the passionate a lot of smoking and loving director René Pollesch, who recently died at the age of 61 and who wrote exactly at the point of pain between big feelings and long life. “Too early,” you say, shaking your head as you take an e-cigarette, and considering the average life expectancy of a man in Germany, that’s true. Measured against Heidegger and death as “the very possibility of existence,” that would be a different story, but, oh , Heidegger, it is the year 2024, and the most unique possibility that Dasein is currently experimenting with is called Longevity.
