Opinions About This Perspective?

I just can't ignore ego death,i regret because i watched videos on this topic, and just not worked for me, i'm  not pushing myself to do stuff anymore ,and im not happy because of that,just don't care of anything and don't have pashion and drive to do stuff...if everything is illusion and we are here to just live and we are actually don't exist? For me,we are all have desires and that is normal,but in this stuff desires are illusions ,but we are naturally  like that.Anyway, watch this and share your opinion.

Ego death is not about not caring about stuff.  It is more about being equanimous/content with things as they are. That is, if you get something you want, you are content, if you do not get something you want, you are content, if you are left alone on an island, you are content. 

The ego usually wants things and measures things by past experiences, or things that you think you are. "I am a nerd, I am a jock, etc, etc"

With ego death, you see these as concepts, and you do not identify yourself with that concept.  And that can be emotions, ideas, labels, etc...

The death would actually be more about "understanding" that the ego is just that... a conglomeration of different things, and is not "self".  You could call it more an "ego check".

And then there are different paths that seek to make the ego more and more transparent until it is gone (for instance Buddhism) and the point of that is exactly as the video suggests, deletion from existence (Samsara).  

Here is a scientific perspective on this concept:

Thanks for answer. But,i think that is okey to identify with something that you want to be, for example artist,and creating your own dream story(whatever it is lie or not) ,and used that to be best self and achive golas. If i dont havestrong sense about who im i dont know where to go,im not centered,dont have strong direction in life. Is it to be best version of yourself but apricate where you are? For young guy like me that is really important...but if im nothing how to now what i want from life,im bored with that kind of life...maybe that is true,but true is also that we are here just to have kids and die like other animals, but we give to ourself stories about self actualization to be inspired ...identification with some picture in your head that is good for you,and try to be that person is working for me really,and knowing that i have bigger purpose than me to try to achive.
