That’s a classic Alan Watts moment—highlighting both the humor and the deep irony in how people approach topics like death and the afterlife. The country squire's response shows a certain detachment, perhaps even a bit of discomfort with contemplating mortality in such an open way. It's a reminder that sometimes, even the most pious or assured individuals shy away from deep, uncomfortable questions, preferring to stick to comforting certainties. It's fascinating how different people navigate these existential topics.
