In "Death and the Afterlife," Samuel Scheffler uses various doomsday scenarios to show that other people matter more to us than we realize. Focus on the first doomsday scenario, where a meteor will destroy the earth a few days after you die. Scheffler thinks that if this scenario were true, you would have good reason to be depressed and lose interest in many important projects in your life. Explain Scheffler's argument. Why does he think that the doomsday scenario gives you reason to be depressed and lose interest? Do you agree with Scheffler's analysis? Why or why not? Do you agree with Scheffler's broader conclusion that the survival of other people matters more to us than our own survival? Why or why not?
