I did about eight years ago. The me of that time is mostly gone now, so I guess in a way she ended up dying. But the me of now is glad to be alive and very much wants immortality, regardless of how shitty the world is. Apparently this is a really common experience, although I doubt most people take it to the immortality extreme.
The inefficiencies are staggering and mind-boggling, yes, but I think my reaction is very different from yours. To me, they’re just obstacles to be worked around, not something worth getting angry over. It’s just how the world is. Railing against it would be like yelling at gravity because life would be way easier if only you could fly.
