If we follow the 'logic' then total (as opposed to partial) exposure to death, must have a collory, total life. How 'good' must life be for a person who actually dies.
That's one of the more interesting and original spiritual arguments I've heard, but it isn't exactly logical. If one beer makes you feel good, and two make you feel better, then does it follow that 18 will have you feeling absolutely freakin' terrific?
If our processing speed increases due to partial exposure to death then the 'logic' above means death would cause an infinite increase in processing speed
Our brains can work faster when we feel threatened, but how fast they work isn't necessarily proportional to how close to death we are. In fact, time can appear to slow down even when you're perfectly safe.
