>you will die one day >there's nothing afterwards

Probably not true. I mean, how can something come from nothing, and then become nothing again? Don't make sense I tell ya h'whut.

Tell me about your life before you were born.

I don't want to return to nothingness.

Only the ego dies. We are just fragments of a greater force that animates flesh, that is the eternal self, god.

seriously, its probably 10x worse.

Oh well~
See you after equalibrium

If there is a reincarnation-style next life then it's almost certainly going to be influenced by your actions in this life and that probably means that you have a much better chance of being reborn as a tapeworm attached to a stray dog's small intestine than as a rich kid.

>>38143945

you didn't exist in any sense prior to birth.

>>38143709

>implying we aren't already in hell

Shockingly unoriginal kek

>>38143945
>I can't see it
>Therefore, it doesn't exist
Your theory also disproves the air you are breathing.

Explain to me how you know you actually exist in the first place, then we can talk about your continued existence that persists past your body.

before I was born I was hot sticky jizz in my dad's ball sack

>>38143709
I'm more than fine with this.
The idea of heaven scared the shit out of me before I grew out of christianity at the age of 6.

>>38143709
For some reason the idea that I'm gonna die triggers me even more when I'm tired, like right now I almost had a heart attack reading this

You can feel and measure air, dumbass. Are you unironically serious right now?

Fuck me.

>how does anything exist?

We don't know how the universe began if that's what you're asking. What, you think that somehow means consciousness is fucking magic or some bullshit? How does that follow, you pseudo-intellectual twat?

You missed both points yet pretend you are the smart one.

You cannot see air. Yes obviously you can detect it other ways, but that is not the point.
Things can also happen that you cannot remember. The same reason air still exists is the same reason things you don't remember still happened.

I said nothing about consciousness. If you claim you exist, prove it to me. How can you prove to me you exist?

>>38145390
>Yes obviously you can detect it other ways, but that is not the point.

Except it is the point, retard. Air is objectively measurable. Is the conscious existence you claim we had before we were born empirically verifiable? Can we see and alter its associated processes and structures like we can with real consciousness and the brain? Dumbass.

>prove to me you exist

I can prove it to you to the best of our epistemic limits with the scientific method. Only my own consciousness is more provable to me than that.

>I said nothing about consciousness

Yeah you did. You mentioned how ridiculous you think it is to say that our conscious experience reduces to nothing after death like it was before life, with no good reasons for that belief, and you still haven't backed it up.

>>38145511
Again, I said nothing about consciousness.

Someone tried to prove they didn't exist before they were born on the basis they could not remember it.
So anything I cannot remember did not happen?
Anything I cannot see doesn't exist?
It's not a valid argument.

How is it more provable to yourself than me? It requires faith to even believe your own senses. If they are electrical impulses isn't it possible reality doesn't exist and you could be a brain in a jar electrically stimulated to believe you are real and everyone around you is real?

>>38145572
It isn't only about a single event in memory, it's about a chain of memories. I don't remember what happened to me last night while I slept, but I remember plenty of things before it, and are experiencing things after it. I have reference points in memory stretching back to a certain point in early childhood like everyone else. No one has memories of before their birth and - what a coincidence! - that happens to match up nicely with a naturalistic model of reality in which our consciousness depends on our bodies functioning.

>How is it more provable to yourself than me?

I think, therefore I am. I can't doubt my existence while I doubt...

>It requires faith to even believe your own senses.

Oh you think you're clever for acknowledging the "brains in jars" thought experiment? As I said before, I can prove to you that I exist as well as is possible **within our epistemic limits**. Ultimately all I can know is that I exist as a conscious entity, yes, and beyond that, everything, including the senses which inform my consciousness, must be assumed to be true for practical purposes, mr. first-year philosophy. So we're tasked with devising a method for discerning objectivity as best we can, which is where science comes in.

Tell me, how can you do better than science when trying to figure out what's real, as best as you can tell?

I don't want to persist through another life or even eternity

You proved nothing except your own ignorance.

>>38143709
Ill have lived a good life and thats what matters.

>inb4 unfunny comment saying i have no life.

>>38146395
Your consciousness is your brain. All you thoughts and memories are electrical impulses. When the brain rots away all that information is destroyed.

>>38143709

literally the only good thing about life. what's wrong with you people?
