So I thought of this theory id like to share, when you die, you

You wish OP.

Nope, all the stupid ass errors you've made have fucked up this one chance at life you got. There are no do-overs. You done fucked up.

Why would you make different choices if your life was exactly the same? If your theory is correct, then you'd make the same mistakes over and over again for all of eternity.

>>17247911
but if you don't remember anything how can you change anything. What makes a do-over in video games great is you know how to fix the problem

>>17247911

Sorta... except you never make different decisions. Everything you experience in life, you relive over and over again, infinitely. Regret nothing, OP.

>>17247911

So if all memory got wiped, why would you make any choices differently from how you originally made them?

>>17249785
why would you make the same ones? chaos theory would be one. maybe one electron that was present in your brain during birth is now in your toe and it changes everything through the inherent randomness that the universe seems to generate

>>17251132
OK op I'll engorge your troll. So everything is exactly the same except for that electron now in your toe? Pick one narrative. Either everything is the same meaning your born to same family and you make the same mistakes again it everything is different and you aren't born till 2377

It would be true if we lived in a computer simulation and "life" is just the period the test runs based in some parameters (your characteristics and choices over life, for example). When this simulation ends, it starts a new test. The ones doing these tests would then gather statistics.

But it would be kinda of crazy, won't it? :)

Not your theory. This is part of the infinite worlds quantum theory. The you that continues to exist has probably already died multiple times within different realities but because you are conscious and continue to exist you will always remain the one that survives. Much like a super Mario game, even though you have many "lives" and die after several attempts at completing the level, one Mario eventually makes it to the end as long as you keep playing. It's not about "when you die", it's that you have already died before.

I've contemplated this theory as well. Perhaps our consciousness is eternal and physically bound to our body but lives on through parallel universes in which our body exists.

When we die, our consciousness splits off from our current universe into a universe where we didn't die. Think about it, we could have died hundreds of times in our lives and have no idea it happened because our consciousness can't be killed.

Imagine what that would be like for old people. Instead of dying peacefully of old age we would be eternally doomed to a hell of infirmity and pain, unable to end it.

>So I thought of this theory id like to share, when you die, you don't go to afterlife, your life starts over, not exactly like reincarnation, but your life as it was exactly before, you won't be able to recall how your life was before, but you would be able to make different choices which could lead to a better or a worse life.
kinda my thoughs

It would explain the massive amounts of De Ja vu people have while growing up

So, none of you guys remember the bright tunnel from before, right?

>>17247911
I was gonna say that's absolutely entirely impossible in every way shape and form, but I guess it'd explain the mandela effect.

No, much like the Mario analogy, we can quit playing the game by self terminating (suicide) or reaching the end (death by sickness or natural causes). What comes after that is the feeling we had before we were born: nothingness. Outside of that, accidental or incidental death is impossible. You will always survive.

Yes, the groundhog's day theory of consciousness is not new. It's also ridiculously easy to falsify.
