Reminds me of one of my favourite Alan Watts quotes:

"When you die, you're not going to have to put up with everlasting non-existance, because that's not an experience. A lot of people are afraid that when they die, they're going to be locked up in a dark room forever, - Try and imagine what it would be like to go to sleep and never wake up. And if you think long enough about that...it will pose the next question. What was it like to wake up after never having gone to sleep? That was when you were born...you see...you...you can't have an experience of nothing so after you're dead the only thing that can happen is the same experience or the same sort of experience as when you were born."

From what I know about the dutch, they bake very nice bread at least. We have a lot of Dutch brands of bread over here that are pretty good.

The irony of assuming that it's cheaper to let people grow old and die when the reality is a senior pension requires the income of two working aged citizens to subsidize it is not lost on me.

Such a cynical take.

That would only work if it was trained accurately and not tweaked to favour clearly false information by it's creator.
