I highly recommend reading philosopher Tom Clark's essay, "Death, Nothingness and Subjectivity". Sam Harris actually did a podcast episode on it called The Paradox of Death. I have made many YouTube videos on it (what's called Generic Subjective Continuity) on my channel NaturalisTed.
With regard to your video with Ben Shapiro and the discussion of why the Western European culture dominated, you should read "The WEIRDest people in the World" by Joseph Henrich. I found it very interesting.
