Death is running out of time to fix the world, to talk people into being kind and generous and curious and laughing and dancing, and caring. You have lost the chance for immortality, physically living for a very long time. All your memories, everything you have learned, the memories of all your accomplishments and failures. Adventures gone and no longer remembered. Death is a stopped clock that evolution has not addressed for rewinding. Shuffling off this mortal coil. Goinging into the "good night" and not waking up. The end of investing your time gathering and using information. The last absurdity of life. The end of what Dawkins called "the tyranny of the genes."
