I don't believe we are reminded of this at all. People make ridiculous decisions today with no thinking of the future. It's a common fallacy on the mind. We think of our today "self" and not the grander "self" of from birth to death. If you think about the finite-ness of life you've live healthier and more productively.
I expect it's designed for people who don't think about the future, yet I imagine people like us will end up getting it and just get dipressed every time we have fun rather than preparing out legacy.
Is simply "not thinking about it" the answer though? It seems to me that a lot of people deal with death by forgetting about it, and avoiding anything that reminds of it.
