Thread 214061302

I am very disturbed by the fact that nothing happens after death and we are erased from existence

Why? You have already "not existed" before. It was fine back then and it will be fine again.

>>214061343
That was before I was aware of being aware, this argument is not comforting at all

thats a problem for you not a problem for me fuck nigga
TUR N UP

>>214061302 (OP)
Consciousness is just an illusion created by physical laws. Death is the ultimate truth

Have you tried simply not dying?

>>214061302 (OP)
just try to achieve your potential burgerbro then at least you'll die happy or die trying, which are both honorable

>>214061356
Are you disturbed every time you fall asleep?

>>214061302 (OP)
Just be urself bro

>>214061927
No because I'm pretty sure I'll wake up. It's not eternal.
>>214061752
That's how I cope, just having a lot of existential dread tonight

>>214061927
nta but obviously not because you know you'll wake up the next day. Dying is different because you won't wake up at all

>>214061732
This is the goal
>>214061945
Thanks man

the priest in my church says that there is afterlife when we die and god will decide where we go

I want to remind everyone that you thought that forcing people to look at this would make them sympathize with your "cause", ausfreak

How does he know?

>>214062026
Oh fuck no, get out of my comfy metaphysics thread dawg

>>214062015
I think this is the most likely explanation besides eternal nothingness

>>214061952
>>214061967
Some people die peacefully in their sleep, it's not improbable. Obviously dying is not fun because your body tries yo survive but as the greeks say, Panta Rei, after that last struggle you can rest forever.

>>214062027
the bible o algo

>>214061952
i mean theres nothing else to do its human to fear death, just try to make your stay worthwhile so that you can say i want to again if you were ever given the chance

>>214061302 (OP)
It's not a fact.

>>214061927
But your brain is still active while you sleep? You're not ceasing to exist while you're asleep you're dreaming

I feel like not being utterly afraid of death is a sign of low IQ.

For instance niggers are simply too stupid to even understand the concept yet alone ponder it endlessly. "lol i didn't exist before i existed so it's okay" is basically being one step above a nigger.

>>214062379
i dont fear death as long as i achieve my potential and truly become myself. otherwise im deadly afraid of dying before i achieve those goals. deadly afraid in fact

For most of the time you are unconscious

>fact

I don't even care anymore

>>214062379
Fear of death is a sign of only average intelligence. It's being aware of your impermanence but unable to act upon it in a way that makes you fulfilled.
The wisest men do not fear death, their lives are driven, each second filled with purpose and intentionality, they're not like the masses waiting impatiently for life to begin, fearing that their time is running short. To the wise man, death is but the end of a chapter, his work will remain, imperceptibly, his mark gently swaying the course of history.

>>214061302 (OP)
ii think about this sometimes

>>214062548
If there is no afterlife you won’t be there to be dissappointed either so what does it matter?

>>214064499
The heat death of the universe will make sure their works are utterly destroyed making it pointless in the end.

>>214064668
It matters very little things everything will be gone eventually. It is a folly of the foolish man to think that he will be remembered or that his actions will reverberate for all of eternity. What truly matters is the here and the now, what one can affect, what one can feel.
The natural world is senseless and brutal, hence it is up to you to make sense of it, however you can.

>>214061302 (OP)
This doesn't bother me at all, in fact I really want it to be this way. To hell with all this gay shit of afterlife and whatnot. I could not deal with having to exist further after death in a way that is so different from what the current mess that is reality already is.

you get reincarnated as a pepe

nothing happening is the best outcome. imagine going to hell or being reincarnated

>>214061302 (OP)
well you don't remember what happened before you were born, you can't experience non-experience lol
the problem is we don't know if we respawn in this universe/planet after death or if there are other universes with other life forms
that's kind of nasty and people hate uncertainty , hence invention of religion to fill questions about eternity and infinity

>>214065962
I believe in reincarnation because I believe in energy conservation, big bang was an ultra dense concentration of energy that expanded. I don't buy the viewpoint that this energy popped out of nothing scientifically speaking
this energy had to come from somewhere but we don't know and it's annoying as fk. we're programmed instinctively to hate uncertainty

There is an afterlife. We most likely are in-between Heaven and Hell which is why bad things happen here. We basically align ourselves with where we want to go.

>you get a chance to know when and how you will die
Would you want to know it?

>>214066621
no thanks
Universe is full of chaotic systems anyway, it's physically impossibe. If you knew then such a universe would be very deterministic and boring and lame
imagine a universe without three body problems or weather. there would be like 1 sun and 1 planet and its a desert, ocean world, some sht. life wouldn't even be able to generate

missed cheesy https://derpibooru.org/images/3150749

I even notified you here 213673358 but you missed that too. lazy missy Lee

>>214066826
Imagine if it's a car accident or cancer. You'd be able to change your fate and live longer

>>214067052
yea that would be cool but this implies we get a deeper understanding of random events
requiring our brains getting better cognitive ability and intuition of concepts like chaotic systems and infinity

societies have evolved rapidly recently, human biological evolution not so much in comparison. car accidents and some cancers wouldn't exist / happen rarely if we yet were cavemen

I was i was dead, so peaceful so comforting

>>214067357
bruh you can't experience death. its a transition phase into something else you don't know, you might respawn as a dalit in 1500AD Delhi. or idk some hyperintelligent 12 legged creature on a far away solar system. just some entity that has "awareness"

We aren't, your line goes on. This is why familial, unselfish mentality is essential to true happiness. If you're self obsessed then the idea of death is very painful. If you realize you are merely a link in a chain and your essence goes on it is liberating.

>>214061732
If we could have immortality, where your consciousness is taken out of your body so it can continue to live on unimpeded by natural physical aging......would you still do it? Would you live forever, and live through everything and anything that can occur in the next few hundreds of millions of years?
Wouldn't it just become boring after a while?

>>214067441
and consciousness btw. its still a philosophical and biological question what is exactly being a conscious state

>>214067357
Every time I want to kms I think about all the happenings I could miss. You learn about history in school but in 500 years they will learn about our period and wonder what it was like.
I'll probably die from a nuclear bomb. It only takes 1 unhinged country to start slinging and I'm wiped. Chances of that in my lifetime are pretty high.
At least it's instant

>>214067498
What would your personality even be like? The one you had at 10? 20? 30? You could take a blow to the head and change your personality because something in your brain got rewired.
A "soul" does not exist.

>>214062007
>INSTEAD OF LETTING YOU SLIP INTO OBLIVION AND NOTHINGNESS YOU WILL SUFFER FOR ETERNITY BECAUSE YOU DIDNT FOLLOW THAT ONE SPECIFIC BRAND OF FAITH

I thought about this recently too when my cat, who was my best friend too, died two weeks ago... Seeing his body without any movement and stiff made me realize how fucked up dying is, he simply just stopped existing and the most fucked up thing is how fine he was 2 days before passing away... Life is so fucked up and dying too... The worst part is knowing I'll be the only to remember him and when I die he'll basically be forgotten and all the memories we had together will be lost forever and nobody will care....

>>214067884
rip
It's why I don't have pets anymore even doe I love gatos. Hell I don't have friends and I'm pushing my family away.
Losing stuff you're attached too fucks me up too hard.

>>214067884
>>214068004
Be happy you knew and loved them.

>>214068004
Thanks, I had my friend Mateo for 15 years and seeing him motionless and not moving anymore fucked me up really bad... His eyes blank and his life gone and he just remained there.... He went away naturally so I hope at least he didn't suffer too much...
>>214068110
Yes, I'll still cherish the memories I had with him and write them down.

>>214068160
imagine that this happened to every human being in history, a person who had the memory of dozen others and when he died it all disappeared. Especially during wars and so on.
Life's a joke so why cling to it

>>214068160
>>214068292
>Life's a joke so why cling to it
Just to clarify this is my own thought after seeing a lot of people and friends die over time. The first time you see something die is horrible but as with everything your emotions deaden with time. Especially as you get older. I never found any meaning beyond what the buddhists said to be honest, life is suffering and theres no point in believing there's a way out of the suffering. The only way out is to accept it and stop craving for meaning, thats how I got over it

>>214067493
yep agree with you, selfish people have the hardest time about death because their death negates their purpose in life. but death its inevitable making it an absurd position

although pure altruists are just the opposite of egoists like above, its utopia as humans have an instinctive drive to be rewarded for effort

I prefer "altruism with an underlying selfish motive" akin to the golden middle way of Greeks and Buddhists. don't get too aloof and neither too attached etc.

>>214068292
Yes, I'm still processing this and I'm not sure how to feel yet... I had a lot of things planned for the future and this changed a lot for me... It's so weird and my current depression doesn't help at all...

>>214068630
Time will help, beyond gratitude for what has happened and what is happening in the present moment theres nothing else you can do however.
If there's something beyond this life you will meet your cat again and we're going to be all happy. If there is nothing then we're equally fucked no matter who remembers you I guess lol

Only intelligent poster ITT. We absolutely reincarnate. There are parallel universes and other planets, and time is not linear in the way we understand. This lines up with theoretical physics and basic concepts like matter and energy not being able to be destroyed and being transferred other places. NDE experiences, past life regressions and the recollections of children all point to this as well. We are eternal beings and anything is possible. Even re-living this current life.
