    I was gonna say this.

    Existentialism is kinda boring IMO. But the philosophy of language, knowledge, and ethics are all super interesting.

      I, too, have no fear of dying. There’s absolutely nothing to worry about. I won’t even know I’m dead. The only thing that is a bit scary is the process of dying, especially if it is something that’s really drug out, like a terminal disease. Then, I have to think about it for the rest of my life. Otherwise, if it just happens in a flash, like a nuclear bomb, I won’t even be aware I died.

        In addition to questions of end-of-life, Existentialism also deals with questions of purpose-of-life. Which can be mind racking even if you’re not afraid of death.

        Still not super interesting questions to me though.
