You don't think about it much. You see death, you hear or read about death, and it doesn't register emotionally. The concept of your own death seems too distant to worry about.

That's what I understood GP to mean, though there's another form of death denial: all the stories people invent about "death giving meaning to life", about "great circle of life", or the various reasons people give to dismiss the idea that we should focus a bit more on working towards extending life.
