Hello stevenyc,
It's possible that some people would be slobs, but I don't think that's necessarily true. People get things done for other reasons than that they know they are going to die. People work because they need to make a living. That's the pressing need. People who are independently wealthy have a lot more freedom to pursue personal goals, but I don't know if we can really say that it's because they know they will die.
Most twenty-year-olds don't think too much about death, and yet they actively pursue goals and dreams. Regardless of whether I had 50 years or 500 left, I would certainly work to improve the world and my own personal life.
Just my thoughts.

If, during my lifetime, technology is developed that allows us to rebuild failing body parts, restoring health and adding longevity, I will definitely take it. There's so much to do! There's so much to create and explore and improve!
With regard to the question of how life on earth stacks up against some possible next level, my thoughts are this: We definitely know we have life here. We don't know for sure about anything else. Might as well make it last here. If there's something at some kind of next level, that's cool too. But why give up this life on a wager that could very well be wrong?

How do you refer to the generic singular third-person?
by seattleniceguy inenglish really has no satisfying mechanism to do this.
i'm talking about sentences in which you're speaking of a hypothetical person and you must identify him with a pronoun.
there are several options available, all equally unsatisfying:.

Unfortunately, there are times when using anything but a pronoun feels extremely stilted. Try this on for size:
The person looked in the person's wallet and remembered that the person's friend had not returned the money as promised.
Versus
The person looked in his wallet and remembered that his friend had not returned the money as promised.
When there is only a single reference to a person, naming them explicitly will work. But when they start appearing multiple times (especially in different forms - possessor, object, etc.), it ceases to sound natural.
Incidentally, Japanese doesn't have this problem because of several interesting characteristics:
- Subjects and objects are not specified when they are easily understood by context. (The English words "he" and "she" are really just placeholders for a subject that we expect our listener to know.)
- The construction "that person" is frequently used and natural.
- Possessors who have previously been named can be deleted. ("The man looked into his wallet" becomes "The man looked into wallet." Which wallet? The default understanding would be his own. You would need be more explicit to mean something else.)
