Looking at this article
I wonder why a perfectly good piece
has to be made an issue with such a sensational, money-reeking headline..
please don't—
don't even know if your own writing is salty or spicy..
without even noticing whether your own body reeks of stale cigarette smoke, may you not get used to it that way..
Still,
there are a few parts I resonated with, so I'm keeping them here.

Hawking said,
"I am not afraid of death, but I am in no hurry to die",
"because there is so much I want to do before then".
He also said, "I think the human brain is like a computer — when its components fail, it stops working",
"There is no heaven or afterlife for broken computers;
that is a fairy tale for people who are afraid of death".
In the interview, Hawking rejected the very concept of an afterlife.
Hawking said, "We must seek the highest value of our actions",
and emphasized the importance of using our lives well
to fulfill our potential here on Earth.
