Just imagine the person MOST dear to you. Dieing from cancer. Sick, throwing up all the time, no hair. Eating pill after pill. Throwing up. Shriveling to nothing from not eating. And they die, because that man who had the answer that was working his entire life to find a cure died before he could figure out his calling in life.
indeed that would be sad.
but a point comes from here too.
if you are immortal then you cannot die to sickness. the only way you can die is by being chopped into bits. if your imortal status kept you from dying from a sickness that isn't cureable then that would be eternal pain. you'd most likely rather want to die than to live in pain.
i think i should say that when i say 'you' or 'your' or it sounds like i'm talking about someone, i am not. equally i could replace 'you' with one, so i hope you (in this case bullet and ataraxy) don't take what i'm saying personally! 
i'm more picking out a random instance of a random person

Accordingly, there are three types of people.
Those who learn from their mistakes.
Those who learn from other's mistakes.
Those who don't learn at all.
At least 2/3 of the population learn and gain from experience which can determine what happens to the other 1/3 by majority.
your conclusion 'at least 2/3....' doesn't follow from your three types of people. unless you mean to say that the spread of those types is evenly distributed (or close enough). but i would question your source

you're probably right. but it's not usually genuine.
people unite in tragedy. once it's over so is the unity. it will fade into nothing and people will hate/love each other as they once did before a tragedy. obviously it doesn't happen suddenly though.
you're right about rules. a lot of people can't live without someone telling them what to do. that doesn't make them worse than the ones who can live without someone telling them what to do though. a lot of people have a lot of skill but no direction and that's what authorities can provide.
that's a "Ch" pronounced as a "K"
