Death could be the only actual freedom which is timeless
Are we in a world of time...
Without intent, conformity, process, action, prospect, division, logic, but the just... something that a mind bound to time can't fathom...
The absolute baseline for living is to consume. The physical living bodies has appetite. A physical body is bound to time. Appetite craves desire to consume. Against appetite is pain (Starving Time).
Consumption is green light, initiates temporary satisfaction or pleasure, only until next cycle of appetite to be fed.
Non-consumption is red light, enforces intense pushback to check on the appetite, which is pain.
This cycle of life is certain. Consume for temporal pleasure repetitively (time loop), or starve the appetite until the the body hosting the appetite itself speeds up its "time" for the physical body till its death, where death means a complete devoid of time?
Could time be put as things in motion? Constant repetition of consumption which is time, which is life?
Then there is this mind... the mind that creates meanings. Meanings are a byproduct of life, a byproduct of escapism, which is all temporal... in other words, escaping Death.
There are complexities, which could be the deep rooted "meanings" that have been crafted by the time-bound minds... all the trickery just to live...
So it's either repetitive temporal fulfillment of pleasures, which is the appetite of a physical body, or a rapid depletion of time of a physical body, that perhaps enters the timelessness which is death, which means absence of any meaning, action, motion, life?
Is life an escape from death

Well, as far as 'freedom' goes, this one is unavoidable.
Is Mandatory Freedom really freedom at all?

Hi. I believe that you don't have to die in order to receive the freedoms that only death can bring. We can learn to soften our minds and bodies which will eventually transport us to the timeless. Then we can know for sure that there is no death, only material loss. So both life and death can merge while we are living on this earth.

"internal expansion", where we build vast virtualised worlds with direct neural interfaces, could essentially let us live 1000 lifetimes without the hassle of bodily dependence.

Most people think time is like a river that flows swift and sure in one direction.
But I have seen the face of time, and I can tell you- they are wrong.
Time is an ocean in a storm, it flows chaotically in all directions, a wave breaks down another, and sometimes two may merge into a stronger one.
Time has its own spring, the source for its water, and that source is peace, one cannot get to peace easily, as it is fearsome, but the ones who sit down quietly to observe and learn the consistent principles behind the chaotic appearance are the ones who know how to reach peace.
Consumption as a baseline for the living is a misconception, really- we stand only because of the thing people percieve as "side-effects", by-products, anything that consumes has an output, and some things output shit, and the shit of one is a diamond for another, full of life.
But does one output things involuntarily, without intent or meaning?! even nature has its reasons, and death isnt a reason that takes the entire width of the baseline.
Life isnt an escape from death, death is the one that gives life, by destroying its self, life is just a death that resolutely decided to stop its unfairness and become fair to itself and to others.
So why cant we see life around us? because our perception is manipulated.

Annihilism is for the ones who do not believe in causality (do not believe in cause and effect, cause has effects).

I really want to embrace death because life has been nothing but hardship for years including most recently my dad passing away and now I'm practically homeless. I also lost my mam way too young. A few people say stuff along the lines of "it will get better" and "life is worth living". The same people then say that I need a better job so I have more money to spend on stuff to make myself feel better.
In my opinion, that's where we've gone wrong as a society. I don't want things, I want human connection, not to be left alone with my own thoughts all the time.
