No you don't.
There's just nothing.
I've died about...twice.
The last time I felt the warm slip of death and the all consuming nothingness I actually fought my way back from death because I wanted someone to turn off that goddamned loud BEEEEEEP sound.
When I asked the nurse what it was and if she could turn it off she said that it was my heart monitor and no. It needed to stay on. I thnk she said that my heart stopped and that I had died.
Was funny as hell now that I think about it.

If you raise a strong family you'll be remembered for hundreds of years. I know the name of the patriarch of my family who moved from Silesia to Gotland in 1360. We had a celebration of 750 years of our family name in Visby in 2010, 300 people from 6 countries attended. I can trace my line back to this man though 28 generations.

If you don't know who your ancestors are, you are probably doomed to be forgotten as well.

I'm kind of drunk so I don't know how well this will translate.
It's not so much a fact of the afterlife as much as it is what you get to experience. You're entire life could be fucking garbage but there is an infinite amount of (You)'s that got to have a way better time and achieved everything you ever wanted but some weird thing was different to those people (chaos theory, string theory-ish) so everything you've done in this obviously fucked life is irrelevant, enjoy the fact that a perception of yourself got everything you ever wanted. (Don't be a faggot make the best of this roll but still..) even if I kill myself I'm stuck in the inevitable nothing yeah but man. There is a me out there who is killing it at life.

This, you stupid niggers. Stoics would meditate on this fact every day: "you" never experience death, so there is nothing to fear. The state of being dead is permanent unconsciousness and ceasing of bodily functions. The self, who you are, is predicated upon consciousness; if there is no consciousness, there is no you. So, if you are alive, you are you, and if you are dead, there is no you. Thus, you never experience death, so there is nothing to fear. Stoics knew that shit back 2000 years ago

That's just wishful thinking. The only way to escape death is through medical and technological breakthroughs that either allow you to extend your life exponentially, or transfer your consciousness into a computer. Neither of which are within our grasp for at least a few more centuries.

We were born too early. All of us are dying. Maybe one of your lucky descendants can experience that.

If life were infinite, then nobody would aspire to anything.

You could do something tomorrow, or the day after that, or the day after that ad infinitum.

How boring and stupid would that be?

It's the fact that life is limited that should give it meaning and purpose, strive to make an impact so that you're remembered after you're gone, think of how the greatest men have had their names past on, still "living" through their memories and accomplishments.

The probability of you being born in the first place around in 400 trillion, those are the chances of you being plucked out of the void and put on this earth to do what you can with your own life and you waste these insane odds being an existential sadcunt.
>>
>>39559161
It's the other way around
We are all "I" we share the same conscious energy, we have different hardware, which accounts for our memories, feelings, likes, personality etc.

When the hardware dies, then the personality and memory dies with it but the consciousness is universal. We literally are everyone, we only have the illusion of being separate. The fact is, we came from one big bang and continue to be that one big bang for eternity.

(You) exist because (You) must exist, have always existed and will exist for eternity.

Consciousness is existence and cannot die.

>>39559176
bingoooo

They get trapped wallowing in their own nihilism, convinced nothing matters anyway, which gives them justification to not really try to improve their situations day-in-day-out, which feeds more into their nihilism, etc etc etc.
Really I think it's just fear at its core. They fear failure, but not so much to actually put a bullet in their heads and end it all, because they also fear death, rather they lack the courage and character to do anything but live out the meager existence handed to them by their circumstances.

And then they die, because death comes for us all.

But there's still time, yet. Go sort yourselves out and squeeze however much you still can out of the however long you've got on this rock. Create meaning for yourself. My most pessimistic view on all this is, if life is meaningless anyway, you might as well pick a lane and be as happy as you can be in that lane, and try to bring as many people with you along for the ride.

A lot of people die momentarily only to be revived at the last minute and they describe it as experiencing nothingness. There is no life after death. People who have been under general anaesthesia (myself included) should have experienced something similar. Your consciousness just ceases to exist.

seems false, this isn't how desires work, and aspirations are either instrumental to other desires or are desires themselves

people want to do things; in order to do the things one wants to do, one must put himself in a position that enables him to do the things he wants to do

so long as eternal life doesn't somehow entail immediate gratification, which it doesn't, people would keep on wanting things and trying to get them

You exist because you are existence, we are the one same big bang, we are existence and shall exist forever.

You do realize you're a completely different person then when you were a child because of brain development, right? People have changed after losing parts of their brain or getting dementia when older. Most emotions are also created from bodily automatic responses that were dictated by genes/upbringing.

True and false.

The physical aspects of a person can change, the consciousness is universal. The me that i am is also the me that you are

We are the same conscious energy, nothing to do with reincarnation.

It's like a household connected to one power source, 10 computers in the house, each computer with its own hardware and operating system utilizing the same source of power

The computer dies, but the energy that runs it continues on

My worth in the universe is the worth of an ant, and the worth of the universe, for we are the universe

Time happens to go in one direction.
Our desires are about the future. Having your desires spoiled is harmful. Death spoils those desires. And so death harms us.

When ancient philosophers talks about our pre-existence not being bad for us, this is really because times arrow doesn't point that way. We don't mind the time before our birth because we have not considered mourning it.

But if we could live further in the past, this would be good if our past lliving were good. If I found out that I really was born in 1700 and helped fight in the Revolutionary War before somehow losing my memory, these forgotten years would be something I had lost. I'd suffer a harm in not having more past. How could this be if the Ancients were right?

Because times arrows points to the future, and death deprives us of future goods, it is a great harm. Hopefully the afterlife exists.

I realized that partially thanks to 4chan's nihilistic nature. Honestly I feel like otherwise I would go through life drifting, never fully aware of whats happening around me. I too once had normies around me telling me thats everything is A OK', rationalizing status quo 24/7.

The downside is that Im now unhappy and conscious of it. Maybe doing something about it will give me some sense of control over my life.

i'm pretty sure this is what happens

over an infinite amount of time everything will happen

infinite time is what you have on either end of your birth and death.

so naturally you will awaken again in some random consciousness. Eventually every consciousness.

But don't you guys believe in rebirth? Well, technically it's equivalent to dying because you wont (in most cases) have any memories of your previous lives and it's like you're living for the first time. Just as scary as being dead forever in that sense. Most if not all non-semitic religions have this idea of an eternal life cycle of some kind

I experienced unconsciousness when I pass upright in my chair in front of my desktop but I don't care much about it, other than dread.
>>
>>39559281
I don't think you've quite thought this through; consciousness persists throughout time even though a huge variety of things happen in your brain—what is responsible for this persistence? Even if you think your consciousness is bound up with the particles that make up your brain, his thesis, if true, would hold, because eventually, some billions of years after you die, those very particles would become arranged again so as to be conscious. And because you were unconscious for the interim, it appears to you that no time has passed at all.

>>39559282
unfortunately not, though I sympathize with your agenda. It's perfectly conceivable, for instance, that a Groundhog Day loop occurs, no? And this could go on for infinity, couldn't it? If not, what makes that impossible?

Consider an analogy to your point with regard to space—even more obviously false: the claim that it's logically impossible that an infinite space be entirely blue.

>>39559290
One can't experience unconsciousness, what do you think these two words mean?

If that's the case then there'd be people with memories of their past lives.

continuity of consciousness isn't the same thing as integrity of memory, right?

>It's perfectly conceivable, for instance, that a Groundhog Day loop occurs, no? And this could go on for infinity, couldn't it?
there's an idea that "some infinities are larger than other infinities"

so you can have an infinite groundhog day loop universe existing as part of a subset of all universes.
You can even have an infinite number of slightly different infinitely looping groundhog day universes all as a subset of possible universes

The issue here is that what you need to be in a single universe in which everything possible happens; it's not enough that alternate universes exist in which everything possible happens, because things don't and can't switch from universe to universe

yes it can, absolutely, but the issue is that for your argument to go through, it's not sufficient that the universe you exist within *can* reorganize itself in infinite configurations; you need it to be the case that it *must*
and unfortunately, it appears there's no more likelihood that it will adopt all possible configurations than that it will adopt some small subset of them
you roll a die six times and you have only a 1/6th of each possible outcome (one through six) being represented, and this is what's required for your reincarnation to be assured, except that instead of having six sides, the die we're speaking of has virtually infinite: the chances of all possible configurations being manifested is actually infinitessimal

I'm trying to find a good editor and copywriter atm, everyone I've talked too so far has given me really average preview and keeps blowing smoke up my ass about how good the first few chapters are. I've published flash fiction and a short story before and have been asked to send in more of my writing to a few mags so I'm confident that someone will pick my manuscript up, I just want it to be really really good first.

The problem with this quote is that we do not have a choice. We can't choose to "have or do whatever we want" at the expense of death. Death is thrust upon us. It is the inevitable outcome for every living creature and many live very unfortunate lives before their end.

You should absolutely pursue the most pleasure while you can even though it all becomes meaningless at death. What is the alternative? A shit life followed by meaninglessness at death. Enjoy what you can while you can.

It won't find another human brain to inhabit. It will however drift towards the overarching consciousness of the universe (aka God) and reunite with it, as it once was, before the Big Bang.

you find out tomorrow that your life will go on indefinitely; is that the end of your existential angst? has it been imbued with meaning? to the contrary, existing forever as a finite being seems like a near-perfect recipe for huge swaths of meaninglessness; whether your life has meaning is, in the case of immortality, just as in the case of immortality, dependent on what you are like and on what your life is like

Anons argument was that there is no evidence that shows there is just nothing after death, therefore we don't know, and by proxy there might be something after death.

Or

There might be something after death because there is no evidence that shows there is just nothing after death (because it has not been proven false).

That sounds a lot like the Argument from ignorance, a claim bing true because it has not been proven false, to me.

the *might* is why it isn't an instance of the supposed fallacy you named, (though, just to note, an argument's being an instance of a formal fallacy doesn't imply it isn't valid, for the reason I just mentioned).

Do you see how the "might" works? That's a completely legitimate and valid move: if we have no reason to believe something is impossible, well then ipso facto we have reason to believe that it is possible, and thus his statement, which is really a tiny little claim pointing out that something that we all thing is logically possible is logically possible, is justified

But it wouldn't really matter if that was the case or not. You could be the the third rearrangement of a person in this very moment and it'd be the exact same as if you were a first arrangement of a person. With no memories of your past, it wouldn't be an experience of "omg, im being reborn", it'd just be another consciousness put into another newly wombed brain. Whether or not you ever get to exist again doesn't matter because the chemical connections in your brain is what creates consciousness. So even if someone on earth took your corpse, broke it down and used the atoms that built you up to make a clone of you right after you died, it STILL wouldn't be "your" consciousness, it'd be a brand new one

no, if it were inevitable that all possible events and configurations of the universe would come to pass, one configuration would eventually come to pass in which the stuff that makes up you reforms in a way just such that not only is this new being/brain continuous in consciousness with you, but it also has your memories; that's a logical possibility, and if all logical possibilities must inevitably come to pass, which is what they're arguing, that would inevitably come to pass

of course, it isn't the case that all logical possibilities would inevitably come to pass in infinite time, because this isn't how things work

Essentially I don't feel it's worth it to keep existing in a world without absolute truth/God, because I had my share of worldly pleasures and don't really care about them anymore.
>>
>>39559372
okay bud, this is getting a little frustrating, let me try to give one more illustration of where you're going wrong

imagine things freeze, nothing happens, the configuration that the universe is now in sticks in place
and now imagine it stays that way forever, which is to say for infinite time

so, again, there you go: you have a universe in which infinite time elapses without infinite configurations manifesting

the issue here, I think, is that you're assigning an infinitesimal, non-zero probability to each possible configuration, and then you're multiplying that by the infinite number of configurations (time-slices, let's say) that would elapse over infinite time, to get, of course, certainty: you're concluding that it's certain that each of these possible configurations would manifest itself, and you need to conclude this for your argument to work.

the issue is that the logical possibility represented by the non-zero infinitessimal value you've assigned to each of these configurations doesn't correspond to the actual class of outcomes given by the infinite time slots, because in fact, many, many of the logically possible configurations should actually be assigned a probability of zero, and we have no way of knowing which ones are which
>>
>>39559377
Why would things freeze?
>>
>>39559378
I have no idea, all we need is that it's logically possible that they could, and that they could then remain that way—if you'd prefer not to think about the configuration remaining static, take a loop instead, a groundhog day type deal, or whatever
it's merely to illustrate the point that, even if things continue to happen, it isn't the case that every possible configuration must manifest itself; there is no such restriction, and without it, the kind of reincarnation you've suggested is extremely unlikely—the odds are, again, infinitesimal
>>
If you want to hear something comforting listen to this.
Everything you do now, MATTERS while you still exist. Just because you do a miniscule nice thing like brighten up someones day,improve yourself, etc, won't have any meaning at all in a hundred years, doesn't mean it has no meaning now.
How I cope is
1. Death is probably the ultimate end, but there's nothing scary, uncomfortable or bad with BEING dead.
2. Death is irrelevant when you're alive because all the thing you do in life matter in YOUR life as long as you're still alive, and when you're dead, it's over, so death is entirely irrelevant to your existance.
3. There's nothing you can do to stop death. Worrying about it does no more good for you than worrying about other things you have no control over in life, like your plane crashing or you catching an extremely rare disease. If it happens, it happens. No amount of worrying will change that.

And who knows? Maybe living a long satisfying life where you reached all your goals will make you more accepting of death when you're old? All you wanted to do, you did, and while being old and alive is nice, it's fine that one day you're gone too. You were pretty much done in life anyway.

again, that was an illustration of the point that there is no restriction that entails that across infinite time, every possible configuration must be manifested; now that we know that the restriction is false, you can see how time could and would (extremely) likely proceed as it normally does without manifesting every conceivable configuration

not at all; so long as any repitition in configurations is possible, which it is, and which it must be for the reincarnation you've suggested to be possible, it's possible for one configuration to be repeated over and over, timeslice by timeslice

matter doesn't need to freeze, there only needs to be a restricted range of configurations that it cycles through, like the groundhog day case; and if the groundhog day case is too strange, then why is it any less strange that the atoms that compose your brain should come together to form another, presumably billions or more years later? that's just groundhog day on a longer timescale
so you're betting on the existence of repetition, yet you're failing to see that that very repetition makes it extremely unlkely that every possible configuration stuff should be manifested

>>39559398
you're missing the point by such a wide margin it's almost impressive, but if time isn't infinite, all the better for my argument, which is only that the infinity of time would not entail or even imply that all possible configurations of stuff would eventually manifest, and thus the physicalist reincarnation suggested this guy and others isn't remotely likely, much less inevitable

That's my point though.

>you're missing the point by such a wide margin
lol. you've missed my point. You're entire argument shouldn't even exist. You assumed that time is infinite. I just told you it isnt. So you're wrong. And as a result, you don't know when you thought you did.

Optimal progression. Gains questionable...
>>
>>39559402
I obviously understand your point, try to reread what I've written

>>39559404
my argument was, as I just laid out, one with a conditional conclusion: (even) if time is infinite, it is not necessarily the case that all possible configurations of stuff would eventually manifest
I didn't assume anything about the infinitude of time—do you see the difference?

>>39559407
>(even) if time is infinite
I understand what you're saying, but I'm gonna be a little more clear.
Time can't EVEN be infinite. That's like saying: EVEN if a circle could have 3 sides.
It's not ontological.

>The Universe is not eternal.
Why not?
>>
>>39559410
you utter fucking idiot, there's nothing analytic or otherwise necessary about the sentence "time isn't infinite"; if time isn't infinite, that's a contingent ffact about the kind of world we live in, which is easy to discern by conceiving of forever
>>
>>39559413
also, I should point out that time's having a beginning doesn't suggest it isn't infinite, and particularly since the matter at hand is predictive (does life go on after corporeal death?), the only sort of infinitude we're worried about, the only kind that needs to be possible, is infinity of future (not of past)

I think people cannot truly comprehend nothingness, void. I think intelligent people get closer to this and the closer we come to the idea the more terrifying it is


Ceasing is against everything you can ever know. Life is struggle, movement. The opposite of it should terrify you.


I try not to think about it. I think the best option we currently have is to live healthy, eat well, and take care of ourselves in hope of options brought on by techology to extend life or cease death
If you think immortality would be boring (it wouldn't, at least until humanity reached perfection and/or annihilated itself) I'd rather be bored than not be.

Ancestor fetishes are just fear of the dark. Being remembered doesn't matter; only thing that matters is living a virtuous life in the now. It's to the same effect and you don't sound like a nutbar who's turned to /pol/ to cope with his paralyzing character defects.
>>
>>39559426

Virtue is a product of legacy and the desire to be well regarded in life and death so ancestor worship is necessary for a virtuous society

PROVE ME WRONG

NAME ONE PERSON WHO WAS VIRTUOUS THAT NO ONE REMEMBERS. OH WAIT YOU CAN'T

Wanting and accepting reality are two different things. You have to make the best of what time you have. So go forth like a champ and tap that ass so you can spend the rest of your life being raped in prison like you deserve, ya fucking pedo.

>>39559346
You have a near death experience that forces you to reason through the fear and reach peace. Get out and live more; play in traffic.

No it doesn't you fucking child. The board was changed from "Mental Health and Fitness" for this exact reason. Emo losers kept fagging up the board with their issues instead of more pertinent mental health topics, like developing better study habits.

Now, go to the rules page. Go look up the rules for this forum. There are only a few. Go read those few rules, realize how this topic doesn't fall in line with this board, and then eat a dick.

I personally don't give a shit what gets posted here, I just don't like when smartasses like you tell everyone something is designed for a purpose that it clearly isn't.

>>39559427
Virtue is an aspiration to guide your conduct, so that you can become better, and make the world better for the rest of us, while we're in it...

Well, i have this life, gotta make the best out of it.
Why would i fear the inevitable? Even if death isnt the end, its surely going to be the end of anything i can think of as "me" anyway. I will reap the fruits of life and experience its sorrows and when my body will be too damaged and my mind will start to wither away, i will welcome darkness with open arms, for i have took everything i could take from life.

STOP WORRYING ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS AFTER DEATH. chances are you'll probably have a lot of time there to think about it, if not then its not worth talking about it. life on the other hand is limited. grab life by the balls and go live

I think our brains create an eternal paradise for us when we die, which compresses the experience of an infinite amount of years into the last seconds of our life.

Kind of like a last dream but you never wake up.

This is simple.

Until you die you are immortal. You can not experience death and will only ever experience what it is to be alive. Worrying about death is to worry about something that will never happen to you.

We all know that death happens eventually but a single person can never experience their own death and after it happens they will have no recollection of their death or their life.

You are literally worrying about something that can never "happen" to you.

the reason to keep living is that you will not exist forever anyway. The alternative to living is absolute redundancy.

Of course a despicable human being will say with such certainty that our lives are a mundane freak accident and we are nothing more then stardust that gained consciousness.


In all actuality, we aren't ready as a civilization to meet our maker. When God gave us the opportunity by coming into contact through him we ended up destroying his vessel.

We are not ready for a being that is more perfect then we can comprehend when we as a race are too busy caught in petty triviliaties delivering ourselves into evil and damnation everywhere we go.

God is patient and also knows that we are going to bring ourselves into damnation for good, and when the 25th hour strikes, he will come again to lead is into salvation

Hedonism by itself doesn't give you a purpose, though. It's just using pleasure as a way to escape your fear of facing reality. It's why normies like to go to parties and fuck around.

The only thing you can do is create your OWN purpose, but that is not an easy thing to do.

Everyone who isn't ok with being unconscious forever is a normie. Why? Because robots can barely stand the soul crushing agony of being conscious with their past, present and future experiences. Normies want to stay conscious because they love life and they love living it.
