If you redefine "you" and "exist" I'm not so sure. What if "I" am just my conscious being, and what if I "exist" across many systems that have a ~0% chance of failing catastrophically.

Anyway, this is going all scifi and silly. My point is really that death sucks, trying to say "oh but you can't fear death because it's not a thing" doesn't seem helpful, and we can probably do massively better than a ~125 year max lifespan.
