So say you're not religious but open to the idea that some form of afterlife is a possibility.
Do you ever wonder if the way you die could have a theoretical impact on this? Let's say rather than our consciousness just shutting down along with our body, it was to expand into whatever comes next.
Well what if someone died by shooting themself in the head? Since we have no evidence either way, there's some grim possibility that blowing your own brains out could fuck this up, right? Or is there?

A third ontology, known as idealism, overcomes not only these problems but can
also be reconciled with the available empirical evidence. It elegantly explains the
three basic facts of reality: (a) that brain activity correlates with experience, (b)
that we all seem to share the same world, and (c) that we can’t change the laws
of nature at will.
If idealism is correct, it implies that, instead of disappearing, conscious inner life
expands—whatever new phenomenology this expansion may entail—upon
bodily death. This prediction finds circumstantial but significant confirmation in
reports of near-death experiences and psychedelic trances, both of which can be
construed as glimpses into the early stages of the death process.

I would like to consider idealism but using this sort of shit as an argument instantly destroys any credibility.

This is entertaining, have another (you) and amuse me some more.

That said, it doesn't actually disprove it

The pleadians told some hippies channeling them that nuclear weapons cause some sort of problem with peoples consciousness reaching the next sphere or whatever.
