no, this place is designed to have you reincarnate over and over because we're all human batteries

Yes and no. Time is a ring. You will experience life again, infinitely many times, but you will always exist in the same circumstances and make the same decisions.

The eternal return concept honestly seems so horrific and so mundane at the same time, I don't know how serious Nietzsche was being with regards to whether or not he was making an actual statement regarding what happens after you die but based on my armchair cosmology that is loosely based off of the ending of Jojo Pt. 6, an assumption that mass and energy actually are conserved, and some shit that I saw when I was 20 and drank 2 5oz bottles of DXM and tripped harder than I ever have on any "real" psychedelic, I believe find it plausible. But the thing is, that also means it's not your first time around so at least the total loss of memory between incarnations actually works but lately I've come up with a new cope to convince myself against hard determinism involving a new type of wave similar to those on the electromagnetic spectrum but able to go backwards in time and break the chain of causality by affecting matter or even being used intentionally to send and receive messages as you would with a radio or something, but that would take a whole other post and a half to explain in detail.

> I don't know how serious Nietzsche was being with regards to whether or not he was making an actual statement regarding what happens after you die
To Nietzsche it was a philosophical thought experiment to encourage someone to always live making proper choices that are true to themselves, it was a call to pursue life affirming decisions instead of being chained to worries and regrets.

I'm not serious about it either. I believe you only get one shot in this world. Even if you reincarnate, that's not really you coming back. You are tied up with all that stuff that dies when you die.

Unlikely, because open individualism is the most parsimonious view of what exactly "you" are, so every shot at life is probably "you".

I don't disagree with what you're saying but I take the opposite conclusion from it. You are a part of everything, a piece of the greater whole, but that doesn't mean you are that greater whole. You can and will die and flake off the great everything like a skin cell from your body.

According to all empirical evidence, it is. Which is why I wish human nature encouraged us to treasure it, but ultimately life and nature is just a glorified petri dish.
