Just the title. Heavens? Hells? Purgatory? Nothing? Become one with the universe? Reincarnation?
Bonus question: If you could design the system of your choice, what would you want?
Same thing that was happening before I was conceived.
Your parents fucking is a weird way to envision the afterlife.
Just you having to watch a HHHHHD full immersion gif of the moments of your father’s final strokes as he pumps his cock into your mom.
The only thing more embarrassing than watching my birth video was watching the conception video
Good think it’s blocked behind an OF paywall
Not at our house. Come on over!
That video paid for your diapers.
The moment my kid crowned, I teared up. I’m not sure why. Until that moment and because of some past hurt, I was terrified (but planning to put in my best effort) to be a dad. The moment they started to emerge, I was fully invested. (I mean, I’m still terrified, but now there are a lot of other emotions as well.)
Biology is a hell of a thing.
You do not “become” one with the universe - you already are. 🧘🏻♂️
It’s more correct to say that you cease to wear the mask that temporarily differentiated you.
Good philosophy. I like.
The same thing that happened before I was born
Since I’m not religious, the most logical answer is probably nothing. We simply cease to exist.
Obviously though, I won’t know until it happens.
Will you know when /after it happens?
If it is indeed a state of nothingness, then I won’t know anything has happened as it’ll be theoretically impossible to perceive it.
I just hope I get to hug my dog again
Me too.
Fucking real
We just die and then we’re gone. Reincarnation could be a comforting idea while we’re alive, but even if it’s real, we’ll never know.
Have you ever been knocked out before? Instant time travel into the future. Probably something like that without the ringing sound in your head from whatever hit you. Oh, and also that you never wake up.
I like the idea of reincarnation, but maybe it’s my antitheist limited brain, transitioning to a creature with vastly different intelligence or central nervous system seems like the me I am still ceases to exist. Same vibes doesn’t even really check out when folks with brain ailments go through massive personality changes and I wouldn’t ever expect someone to “maintain their vibe” through that change.
Brain gets no more blood. Neural biochemistry breaks down. Brain dies. You die. That’s it. Except for some incoherent and contradictory texts from bronze-age books or wishful thinking by naive people, there is ZERO scientific evidence that heaven or reincarnation exist.
Hell was also invented much later by Dante.
no? only his idea of hell, not hell itself
damn, then I’m scared to die, because what does it feel like to stop existing?😰
It doesn’t feel like anything. You don’t exist anymore, so you can’t feel.
Do you remember what it was like before you were born?
Its probably exactly that.
A bit like the situation before your birth.
“incoherent and contradictory”
“flimsy”
sources?
The binke.
I don’t think there’s an afterlife, but I can hope that there is one. Just being a specter and getting to explore the universe until the end of time would be cool. Realistically, it’s probably just nothingness, unless somehow our brains are capable of creating an infinite dream for us.
We go to sleep and never wake up.
Nothing. Its over.
Probably.
I relinquish control of my atoms, at least to whatever extent I controlled some of them prior to death. And I no longer perceive or think or remember.
If I could reincarnate into anything other than a human on earth, I’m not sure I’d want to retain memories of a past life. I’d hate to poison a new and different life with the baggage of a human lifetime, for better or worse.
Mind uploading or cryonic preservation for possible future revival and treatment is a nice thought, but I would hate for evil billionaires to be able to cheat death, that seems like too big a tradeoff.
Immortality seems like a curse to me.
I would love to be immortal, depending on the rules and the specifics.
but I don’t want nazis or fascists or billionaires to be.
Nothing.
Your “perspective,” your view of the world, and all of consciousness, is an illusion maintained by your brain. Death is no different than turning a machine off and disassembling it.
I will say, the human ability to make conscious choices is really something special
Your “afterlife” is the hole you leave behind. It’s the impact you leave on the world, and how others remember you.
The same thing that happened before I was born.
The only people who know for sure can’t tell us, but realistically it’s probably a cessation of consciousness.
