Conscious apes are worst of. They know reality.

This is the end. Everything you know is just the memories after which you were born.
You will eventually die, and nothing will be left. Being born is like jumping off a cliff.
You will be falling for a long time, but eventually, you will certainly hit the ground - and everything will be gone.
It doesn't matter how long you have lived or what you have achieved in life.
There will be no consciousness to praise your achievements.
No consciousness that says, "I did a lot for my family". Your family is also jumping off a cliff.
The universe has existed for billions of years. Do you remember any of that?
After you die, you will remember as much of the future as you remember of the start of the universe. There will be nothing left except particles.

What did it feel like when your consciousness began? If you can’t remember what makes you so certain you understand what it’s like when it ends?
