What if after death there's nothing, but we're still concious? What if all that's waiting for us is eternal nothingness in solitude? I'm scared /adv/.

your consciousncess is your brain and brain shuts down so does it, how do you figure you would still be conscious without a functioning brain

I think your brain stretches out a really long dream so you don't have to face death. I don't know though no one does.
Death is inevitable and so is what comes after. No use thinking about it because you can't avoid it.

Pretty sure I'd fall asleep after a while. Don't be afraid of death. You'll be dead anyways.

I liked doctor who's view on after death in that one episode.

we don't know the full nature of consciousness but it's safe to assume it can't exist without a brain powering it
so it's probably just gonna be an extended sleep period
