I agree. Death is not a problem. It is a solution of a problem.

I will take a look at the problems you link too, but my opinion is that Riemann hypothesis is one of the most important problem to solve.

Then, progressing a bit in mathematical theology, and getting why people get irrational so easily around that field is rather important too.

Technically, it would be nice to decide which of the intensional variants of self-reference fit the best nature's quantum logic. That would provide actually some light on the 1p-death problem: what can we expect to live when dying knowing that our consciousness is not attached to a singular body, but to infinities of representations of them (in arithmetic, or any Turing complete theory).

The practical problems is: how to stop the religious lies (1500 years of lies), and the one simpler (but already difficult): how to stop the lies in the health field (75 years of lies). How to stop prohibition of medication, and how to restore the free market (that prohibition has made disappear).

Aristotle was wrong on this: humans are not rational animals, but they are irrational animals. No animal would kill another animals based on fairy tales pseudo-theology, but humans do that all the times, and it is part of the source of the human suffering.

The big general problem is the suffering of people, especially children. Buddha made some progress in the right direction, I think, but the path is still long before we get rational (like buddha was) on this.

It's funny. If you look at the surface of it, of course you will get into such contradictions. The real problem that life is solving, is the retention of information under the influence of entropy.

Information preservation density and reliability?

​One problem towers over all others, death.

I thought that was the solution to over population.
