I don't like to think about it. The thought terrifies me.
You spent billions of years not existing before, you'll be fine.
I hope a void of nothingness where I slowly drift away like the memories of one’s dreams when you wake, you know you were somewhere, but you’ll never know where. Like it never happened, with my luck though it’ll probably be some bullshit afterlife.
you don't "go" anywhere, you just lose consciousness and don't wake up then eventually decay
you cannot fathom a lack of sub-consciousness
I kind of feel bad for people that have never experienced a supernatural event, of course they could just dismiss it as their brain having a fart so there is no point in talking about it
God could come down and speak and tons of people would just think it was an alien trick
I guess its called Faith for a reason
What was your supernatural event?
OOB experience while asleep
The cope arguments psychologists say about it its total BS from my experience, I saw things I could have not seen otherwise
Unless your ass floated up to heaven and got shown around its a pretty thin basis for religion.
Never said it was my basis for anything, its just one extra thing, at the end of the day you either believe or you dont and there is no point in arguing
like what? Did you see lottery numbers or something? Anything that could tangible prove you saw things you otherwise couldn't see or was it your brain just making shit up like everyone else's
I once went to beach during a thunderstorm and I watched thousands of thunders cover the entire sky does that count?
>God could come down and speak and tons of people would just think it was an alien trick
Exactly, you dont stop trying to figure things out, just because something seemingly supernatural happens doesnt mean it cannot have a perfectly normal explanation.
We wait in limbo until judgement day

I hope I don't learn, until it's my time to go.
The fear keeps me from killing myself.

Next season likely
Did we get any news regarding it?
No. It's not even known if there is going to be another season.
They've run their course quite well, honestly. Any continuation wouldn't add anything new.
I'll either find out or I won't. No point in sweating over it.
you meet your waifu and then she eats your soul
Nowhere. You're stuck in an infinite loop, a parallel universe that runs alongside our own, but in reverse. Your consciousness is forever stuck in a loop where you are running every single thing in your life over and over and over again. Every time you think you've understood and broken out of the loop, you're wrong. You've already done that. There is no point. You just accept that it is what it is and choose to make the best of the flow, for it is one that cycles forever.
The only thing keeping me going is the idea of an afterlife where I can see my lost family members again.
larkin is peak midwit slop. I don’t get the appeal of this shit at all, it’s like a george carlin bit
The same universe but all the colors are different.
Denver.
I almost died once for real. And honestly it's just like falling asleep. Except obviously if you survive then you wake up again. But it's nothing magic, no life flashing no bright light. Just a slow fade to black like sleeping.
Fade to black isn't like sleep though, since black is still some sort of visual phenomena. I had a similar experience but my voice echoed out too, like I was shouting on top of a mountain.
I didn't die but had meningitis and went into a long seizure. The event was strange.
Most likely? A cessation of consciousness which is something we can't really comprehend as conscious beings. I know it sounds pretentious and fedora tipping, but I can't really buy a God that's all about humanity when the Universe is so vast. It seems too convenient that we're all so scared of death, but DON'T WORRY there's ANOTHER even more awesome-er life after we die where we can eat and drink and see all our loved ones. I don't say this out of some kind of resentment or condescension, but longing and grief because of course I want that. I want death to simply be a set back for us so badly, but I know in my heart of hearts that it really is the end and that we will never breathe fresh air, smile at a loved one, or even just experience the passive sensations that we take for granted every day like the feeling of the air on our skin ever again. It's a scary thought that I try desperately to ignore, to say I'm not REALLY scared of, that I've come to accept, but it's not true. It'll never be true even after my last breath.
I dont think eating and drinking is involved, thats the viking afterlife, are you a viking?
And for example as strongly as you say you know its the end myself I just as strongly know that its not, apparently being religious is also an inheritable trait to some extent, go figure.
Ive never been scared of death I remember as a kid thinking it was ridiculous and it made no sense, of course death isnt the end I thought even back then even though I had/have atheists parents that mocked god openly.
Don't take it personally, I don't fault anyone for believing in God or whatever they believe in. I envy that belief if I'm being honest. I wish I could have faith like you do, but I know that deep down I will always have doubt and that it's not true. I have great respect for religion actually, I've always found mythology and canon fascinating and beautiful, so I don't say what I say lightly. I don't think I'm superior to those with faith because of my lack of it.
I wouldn't let it get you down. One of God's best disciples, Saul (paul) of Tarsis vehemetly hated Christianity for most of his life and still expressed doubt about the organized parts of it well throughout the rest of his life. A bit of skepticism is necessary for a proper understanding of any kind of god.
Thanks guys. I would never think of disrespecting someone's faith. I don't want to be right. Hopefully there is something, even if it's something we men couldn't have dreamed of waiting for us after this. Until then, I hope you live your lives like it's the only one you have. Enjoy the little things, enjoy the small moments of happiness, be kind to others, and stop to appreciate what was given to us humans by design or by accident every day of your life. God or no, I think that will have been a good life to lead.
I also don't believe in any kind of god. I just grew up very religious in southern Baptism so I know enough theology to see the finer points of it.
>baptist
>theology
lmao
Better than being an idol worshipping Catholic.
>AGHHH IS THAT THE IMMATERIAL NATURE OF GOD BEING COMMUNICATED TO MY UNCONSCIOUS VIA A BEAUTIFUL OBJECT???? AIEEEEEE I MUST DESTROY IT!!!!
leld
But not gonna lie Mary worshippers weird me out
Yeah sure whatever blasphemer. Why not add more gold to your churches and frick more kids while you worship Mary and your God-King in the Vatican? Truly the Biblical way!
We hopped denominations a lot. That was just the main one.
Thats alright you are cool, you arent nasty about it, when atheist are nasty about faith and just laugh in my face it just makes me sad, and I dont even preach to people or anything even though Jesus wanted me to.
But hey I guess we will find out who was correct, wont we?
In the meantime lets appreciate and enjoy life and art.
it’s very odd to me that people see large spaces as some sort of an affront to themselves. there’s only one place those distances are experienced and that is within you. I don’t get the kind of moronation that is intimidated by endless inert nothing when as a perceiver you are the only thing capable of mentally intending it or bearing witness to it. consciousness is literally the centre of reality because it is the only thing experiencing reality. it’s a sign of how deeply narcissistic modernity is when they see how wide the splendour of reality is and get almost offended and feel diminished by it, instead of recognising the privilege of being something which can witness it
I want to frick that rabbit.
The notion that "you" can completely cease to be is nonsense, as it assumes that your consciousness came into being ex-nihilo—that it magically appeared one day out of thin air and will one day magically disappear into thin air. Far more reasonable to assume there was already some form of consciousness preceding the one you now enjoy. Whether it existed as a single disembodied soul as in most religions, or as a multitude of individual "consciousness units" which came together to form a single whole a-la panpsychism, you'll simply return to being that when you die.
And what if consciousness simply is a biological function of the brain and that when the brain ceases functioning then so does your consciousness?
That's the ex-nihilo thing I talked about. You're suggesting that the universe decides to pop out a new consciousness any time a man and woman get it on. It's ridiculous and unparsimonious. If your consciousness does arise from the brain, it's because the physical components of your brain already possess an extremely rudimentary form of consciousness even before they come together and "add it all up".
Interesting. Tell me more, Anon. I really haven't thought too much on the subject if I'm being honest, so it would be nice to hear your perspective.
I don't think too much about it either. Only enough to conclude that materialism is bunk.
Eliminative materialism is nonsense because consciousness self-evidently exists. "I think, therefore I am."
Non-eliminative materialism isn't nonsense strictly speaking, but it's not actually materialism—if you dig into its claims instead of taking the language at face value, all forms of non-eliminative mterialism are forms of either substance dualism or property dualism.
Beyond that, I don't care too much what happens after death, but if I had to guess, some form of reincarnation makes the most intuitive sense. The "one strike and you're out" theory of eternal reward or eternal punishment for a single lived life is just ridiculous.
This doesn't make any logical sense for various reasons. You just can't fold paper and end up with something that is substantially anything other than paper... Folding matter could not make something that is not itself matter. But the mental representations we see are not material objects, so it's just impossible by any logic.
But I can't comprehend what the alternative would be like. Sometimes it worries me because if I manage to get through this life without being murdered and not having to work etc, if life just keeps going then it's inevitable I'd eventually have to work a rice field and be brutally murdered etc.
a morgue. but if you live in Haiti probably into someone's belly
And she: “Filled as you were with the desire I taught you for That Good beyond which nothing exists on earth to which man may aspire,
what yawning moats or what stretched chain-lengths lay across your path to force you to abandon all hope of pressing further on your way?
What increase or allurement seemed to show in the brows of others that you walked before them as a lover walks below his lady’s window?”
My breath dragged from me in a bitter sigh; I barely found a voice to answer with; my lips had trouble forming a reply.
In tears I said: “The things of the world’s day, false pleasures and enticements, turned my steps as soon as you had ceased to light my way.”
And she: “Had you been silent, or denied what you confess, your guilt would still be known to Him from Whom no guilt may hope to hide.
But here, before our court, when souls upbraid themselves for their own guilt in true remorse, the grindstone is turned back against the blade.
In any case that you may know your crime truly and with true shame and so be stronger against the Siren’s song another time,
control your tears and listen with your soul to learn how my departure from the flesh ought to have spurred you to the higher goal.
Nothing in Art or Nature could call forth such joy from you, as sight of that fair body which clothed me once and now sifts back to earth”
And if my dying turned that highest pleasure to very dust, what joy could still remain in mortal things for you to seek and treasure?
At the first blow you took from such vain things your every thought should have been raised to follow my flight above decay. Nor should your wings
have been weighed down by any joy below—
love of a maid, or any other fleeting and useless thing—to wait a second blow.
It doesn’t matter to me. I don’t even care if God is real or not. It’s got nothing to do with me. What’s important is that I’m here now and I make the most of it, I guess.
NOTHING MATTERS MORTY
I don't have a concrete answer because as an autist I don't believe shit without proof but I would like to believe in an afterlife or reincarnation based on the accounts of people saying they've either witnessed an afterlife or experienced a former life. I also just sometimes think I might just be living life on repeat since every few months I just get random deja-vu moments. I really don't like the idea of there being nothing when you die because I just cannot simply fathom not existing
The cycle of life, simba
>I just cannot simply fathom not existing
No one can. We've only ever experienced the state of existing.
I think you return to absurd- or whatever you were, before you were.
But I won't let you lose yourself in the rain.
mu
Nothing can disprove the existence of an afterlife, nothing can prove it either, but that just means worrying about it doesn't make any sense since we're all going to die one day, the longest life any human has ever lived was a mere 122 years and she died 27 years ago.
You didn't have any problems with not existing when you didn't yet exist, but if there is an afterlife then that's cool too.
Even if we were immortal in every sense of the word it wouldn't matter, what we call the past was once the future, in that sense none of our actions are even our own, not even time travel could affect this since any time travelers were always going to travel back in time, our understanding of time is infinite, it never started and it will never end, so anything finite that happens within it may as well never have happened at all.
As for infinite universes, seriously? Even if it's true, none of them can interact with each other, otherwise they would've done so by now, infinitely. Humans can't even comprehend the scale of infinity beyond it being a number that's higher than whatever number they can think of.
My advice in the face of all of this? Either don't think about it and go about your day like you usually do or use it to motivate yourself, there's no harm in doing whatever you feel you should if nothing matters.
Existential dread is gay, I can't believe this shit used to give me anxiety attacks.
>you see that joke is funny 'cause that is really fricked up
>*everyone laughs*
>like, wait, why is that funny?
>"who cares? who cares if it's funny or not? who fricking cares if it's funny? we're all gonna die"
>*everyone laughs harder*
Sadly the "reality" side is often that of an addict, to alcohol, to porn etc. someone sad and pathetic that doesnt do anything or puts effort into things because nothing matters
They also cheat and treat other people like garbage, I mean nothing matters right
That's dumb.
Hell.
Heaven!
Pittsburgh?
According to South Park, Detroit.
You go to Hell before you die
Hopefully I'll be reborn as something else
Something like a starfish would be nice just drift through the ocean and eat and not worry
Well this guy explains what dying feels like. I'm not afraid of death really, it's whatever I leave behind that's important.
FRICK D*NCAN
My fear of death has become less of an issue. Now I just have a general fear of extreme suffering in life for me or my loved ones.
REPENT
THE MERGE IS UPON US
SONICHU SHALL DESCEND FROM THE HEAVENS
Im scared of the idea like a deep fear that cant be controled
Summerland
>Where do you think we go after we die?
A space where you endlessly dream, but you have complete control of the world this time (for the rest of eternity).
That type of afterlife is what I really hope for.
I had that same thought when I was younger. From what I understand it's kinda like the mormon view.
>In Mormonism, the concept of divinity centers around an idea of "exaltation" and "eternal progression": mortals themselves may become gods and goddesses in the afterlife, be rulers of their own heavenly kingdoms, have spirit children, and increase in power and glory forever.
I'd never argue what the actual answer is but there's just no way anyone can change my mind that when the brain dies everything is over. Which depending on how you look at it is not a bad thing.
Talking about death sucks but whats wrose is hearing shit from people who have "come to terms" or "are at pece" with being dead like its not a big deal and their ok with it and somehow me hating the idea with every fiber of my being somehow makes me irrational.
I went legit very insane thinking about the true answer to this question once. For now I'll just say "when it happens, it happens"
Where do you think we were before we were born? That's the cosmic puzzle piece for death.
prelife = afterlife
unless a cosmic being is just playing a big joke on us, there's that too.
i want aging to be cured
You really dont
What would be the biggest change in society if we became basicly immortal?
They'd probably force sterilizations except to replace people who have died from things like accidents or in cases where population expansion was seen as a good thing again, like in the event of mass space colonization or in the event of some massive natural disaster wiping out a significant percentage of the global population. If everyone were functionally immortal a TFR of even just 1 would result in massive unsustainable population growth.
we'd spawn at least 1000 types of new cancer before ever answering aging and gaining immortality.
CRISPR tech is going to get us there. They've already made glow in the dark mice using it, and while that's baby steps compared to the triathlon that would be curing senescence using telomeres, it's a proof of concept and they did that like ten years ago. Give it another ten or even twenty, and they'll do it.
And every time I bring this up, people always say "oh, but they'll never let regular people have that" which is completely incorrect! You know why?
Because under capitalism, value is based on demand multiplied by scarcity. V=DxS.
Companies who need you to work automatically create Demand, and so the only way for them to reduce the value of your labor, and therefore get away with treating you worse and make more money, is to eliminate its' Scarcity.
Right now, your labor demands a certain amount of pay and consideration because it is finite. Capitalism's creeping, materialistic evil *can only* end with human immortality ensuring you will work in a poorly-lit, abusive office hellscape until the sun explodes.

One day you didn't exist
Then one day you did
Who are you to say you won't exist again?
I think Alan Watts said pretty much this, something like "If you think about death as going to sleep without waking up, then you must ask yourself what was it like having woken up without going to sleep?" or something like that. Nature doesn't waste anything, "Nothingness" doesn't exist in nature, everything gets recycled into something else. Your consciousness may become part of a rock, tree, water, star or whatever and maybe eventually comeback together.
Alternatively, we could just be extra dimensional beings, living out infinite versions of ourselves and when one version ends what we call our consciousness hops to one of our other ones.
Personally I'm more hopeful for a heaven of sorts, but whatever the outcome is doesn't really matter since in all likely hood, if the non heaven ideas are right, I won't remember this life so I won't be missing anything from this one.
you are in hell right now
