I wouldn't even know what to do with that much money. I have 5K in the bank and I don't even know what to do with it. I'd keep it a secret and anonymously donate most of it to charities, family, friends and probably invest the rest in initiatives to make houses more sustainable for those who can't afford it.

They’re going to spend most of their time in flights, commutes, and checking in/out of hotels. To enjoy the trip they should see just a third of those countries or less in that time.

I feel like the uplifting highlight should be what the Fred Meyer store did with their bonus (since the winner got the ticket from that specific store), rather than the lottery winner.

But for a very large portion of the world population, this is going to be very unattainable. Going to be costing a fortune which most people nowadays could never afford. I wish them all the best and I hope they have a wonderful time.

It's more of a human thing, that you state your point instead of telling people to guess what you're talking about and to find info about that. That's just being 21st century too lazy to even bother talking.

I have watched him, he is brilliant honestly. Not frequently, I must limit myself on when and how often. In the morning before I have to do a bunch of stuff for example I try not to think about it incase I get some anxiety but if its late at night, I have not much to do tomorrow, then maybe I can think about it critically. My therapist has also given me good outlets for it as well.

100%. The conscious mind may be gone, but the very matter that is you will continue until the end of time

I agree that it is completely natural to fear mortality. And I’m sorry you’ve been dealing with such deep fear. Sisyphus 55 on YouTube has some great content on suffering, death, meaning, et cetera, that I personally have benefited from. Do you feel like you’re able to think about death frequently without being crippled?

Boeing has 142,000 employees. If this is a "nod" to all Boeing employees then it's still a 1/142,000 chance.

Not OP but I heard that people do this by carrying close to nothing on them and sleeping at super cheap hostels while working for them part time, or just remote work in general.

What a beautiful outlook. For what it’s worth, I think you’re right. I think of how after death, the atoms that made up our bodies continue on. So, in a way, we also continue on.

And most likely a healthy lifestyle, I would bet that these two ladies weren't raging alcoholics eating junk food for decades

It's also perfectly natural to be afraid of mortality. I think even rhe toughest of people have spent a night tossing and turning thinking about it. It's just best to not be crippled by it, as I have been a bunch of times. I suffer from a pretty deep fear of death, the technical term being Thanotaphobia i believe.
Edit: Also thank you for your comment, I don't believe that it is discussed enough!

Oh i have sat and thought about this alot myself and my own conclusions are that if there isn't truly anything after life, then that makes life all the more valuable and that death (unless caused unnaturally) is a natural part of life and is returning to our natural state to make room for the next generation of life. It's sad when someone dies but after the fact the deceased is free of pain and wordly troubles and that fact also comforts me despite being irreligious.
