“I think there should be countdown boxes issued by the government. People can go to any grocery store, public school, or police precinct to pick up their box. It displays, for each person, what remains: how many more good meals, how many good conversations, how much satisfying sex, how many more books (records, movies) that really matter. The numbers will be fairly low, and thus each person who picks up his or her countdown box will come to understand both that they should feel daily gratitude and that anything that feels rewarding is itself a marker of mortality."
