Website: https://sites.google.com/view/tomcochranephilosophy/ Summary:In this interview, we discuss how we can address the fear of death. Cochrane argues that our fear of death comes from our will to live; hence, one way to address the fear is to change this underlying motivation. He argues that we can encourage a natural tendency for the will to live to decline as we approach death. We also talk a bit about religion and its role in addressing this fear.","meta_description":"You can support me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/chenphilosophy Tom Cochrane is a British-Australian philosopher working at Flinders University in A…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":3423,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-ethical-frontier-6723630/episodes/74-the-fear-of-death-tom-cochrane/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-ethical-frontier-6723630/74-the-fear-of-death-tom-cochrane.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
