I've been very open with my family that at any sign of mental degeneration I'm flying to Europe to die in a dignifying way. I consider 80 to be my expiration year unless I feel perfectly fine physically and mentally, in which case I'll extend beyond.

You should watch the movie "Harold and Maude". Especially if you like Cat Stevens's music.

Can I have your TSLA stock?

Lol, I've had a few exchanges with young CC's who are long TSLA, telling their viewers to chill about the downturn, that if they. keep the stock long term everything will be alright. Arrogance of youth! I turn 60 this year, ffs, my long term is 10 years at most, preferably 5 years. After that, it's all spending!

5 months of chemo with hair falling out and lots of vomiting. Who wants that?

I have a pillow guy. I told him if I am in the hospital on a breathing machine or at home, demented, he comes over and gently puts a pillow over my face for 5-7 minutes.

And if that's the case it shows how primitive America is when it comes to end of life choices.

Most likely, his conscience caught up with him. How good would it feel to live a life of luxury based on the hardship of others.

On another note, maybe an idea whose time has come.

You should get a pill guy who will give you a lethal dose of sleeping pill that will put you in eternal sleep when you really want or need to. Dying by sleeping pills is the most painless way to die and makes you look the most dignified. Suffocation apparently is really painful when your lungs are struggling to breathe. All living creatures are born with natural instincts and mechanisms to help you survive and it's when those instincts and mechanisms kick in to struggle to try to help you to survive that makes you suffer the most and look least dignified in the process. So when you numb those natural instincts and disable those mechanisms with things like sleeping pills that's when you can die more comfortably and look the best. (Another reason why I think executing those criminals who have committed heinous crimes by lethal injection is a joke; they should be made to suffer just as and actually even more than how they made their victims to suffer; that would be the only fitting punishment)

Hope you never get to that point still...

It seems like everything that goes against social norm is considered "mental health problem" these days. This is setting a dangerous precedence. Eventually, they will lock you up under the same guise of mentally unfit.

I agree with that.

And "social norm" defined by whom? What is considered "norm"? That's the problem.
