I like this guy, he seems to have the same idea about death as I do

It was a great learning experience to get to have him talk with us about his condition and path forward!

It's such a shame that he prioritized his work over his health, not to mention that his cofounder insisted that he cancel a doctor's appointment for an event when he was experiencing facial paralysis!

It seems like only after his recovery when awry post-surgery due to work did he actually decide to take steps in helping his body heal. Hope his health will continue to improve.

I wish he would explain his thinking further, on why he feels fear of death correlates with lack of character?

IMO death is inevitable, why should I fear something that will come eventually? In some for death is mine and I will embrace it.

My former cofounder Ilan Zechory always used to talk about how much he fears death - I was thinking of how little character he has when I made this statement

(this is his wiki btw: https://www.everipedia.com/zechory/ )
