and theoretically have no concept of time or consciousness to experience its passing won't that mean the whole 'being dead' part will be over instantly for us similar to being sedated or unconscious?

Youll die and be born again. Even if its a million years later itll seem like only a second to you.

Motherfucker posted:and theoretically have no concept of time or consciousness to experience its passing sure but the difference is there's nothing after the 'being dead' part unless you believe in some kind of afterlife. you will just... not experience anything any more. 'you' will cease to exist in a metaphorical puff of smoke

we'll burn in the lake of fire. There's a second option, but we're posting in GBS so we can safely assume we don't qualify. See you there!

appropriatemetaphor posted:unless time's like a wheel or whatever true, if after the entropic death of the universe the strange eons actually do that theoretical probability thing with anything and everything physically possible if not sensible happening eventually we could get another big bang maybe and then you'll just find yourself being physically born right after dying or something seems kind of unlikely though e: oh yeah, that comment a few posts up also isn't that much better than being dead for good - living the same life over and over again and never even being aware of it, ugh

We are judged according to our own deeds. I don't know if God was anticipating people stretching their assholes out for the Internet, though...so he may start judging us harsher after finding that out

when i used to huff gas i had this moment of like i have no way to describe it but the absolute knowledge that everything ive done and will do has already been done before and ive reached this conclusion a million times before and will do so again and it was amazing even though it was my brain malfunctioning because i was huffing gas like a desperate junkie but still i can remember the sensation and its robbed of its importance but i can't put it into words it transcended language, still probably not true unfortunately but who knows not me thats for sure

Last time I was over at Xi Wangmu's place I picked up some longevity peaches, I'll sell you one for a million dollars. Lower than market price and no transactions involving your immortal soul required! Great deal! Cash only.

If you think about it millions of years of evolution has taught us to fear death because otherwise we would just chuckle and stop living. Really makes u think!!

It'll pretty much feel like it did before your mom sat on that dirty truck stop toilet seat.

I lol cause ive thought through every scenario and they're all horrible oblivion is terrifying. Existing forever is terrifying. Being reincarnated in and endless loop with no memory of past lives for all eternity is terrifying. Doing that same thing WITH memory of past lives is terrifying.

It makes you feel like life and the universe really have absolutely no meaning and nothing anything does matters. I remember the first time I came to this realization it was loving star treks fault. I was watching an ep of TNG while high and was like "I wonder how the 23rd century will really be like?" and then I realized I wouldn't be around to witness it and that made me realize that my consciousness would end and oh god. I had a p scary panic attack
