Philosophy Wire by Spiros Kakos [2017-09-05]: Research from psychologists at the University of Kent shows that creative achievement can provide a buffer against being anxious about death. [1] Stupid people. They are afraid to die and do anything they can to stay “forever” alive. But only those who are not afraid of death do nothing to deal with him. Every creation will be one day gone in the ocean of oblivion. Only those moments of lack of creativity will persist. Those moments where you relax and do nothing. It is at these moments that the universe pauses and stares in awe. Because it knows that at this very moment it has seize to exist and all the cosmos just Is.
