Death can't just be darkness, right?

Haha let me tell you. I had some minor surgery (appendix exploded) and they put me to sleep. The whole experience gave me an existential crisis. Basically I just went to the hospital alone in extreme pain. The nurses and doctors were all uncaring. I know its just their job and they see thousands a people a week or whatever, but man I was scared to go under. Like shaking even. They put the tube thing in me and counted down. Then just darkness. No dreams. No memories. Just hours of almost nonexistance while some people fixed my insides or whatever. Coming back from that is weird. I know its a common surgery and not a fatal or near death thing, but man I like existing and leaving like that--alone in a hospital with someone counting down your potential death is kind of unearving. I don't really have any advice for you. But recently I saw this clip again. It made me kind of happy.

It's not darkness because your consciousness won't be there to perceive said darkness. It will be nothingness, just like before you were born.

When you sleep and youre not dreaming, its just like an instantneous snap from sleep to wake is it not? You dont experience the darkness

Yeah I was put under for surgery and it was one of the worst experiences of my life. I woke up midway through and they all made fun of me for waking up (probably thought I wouldn't remember) and joked that redheads need more anesthesia and I was paralyzed and couldn't even scream. The way they had no empathy towards me really shook me. I'm never going back to the hospital I'll just die at home

Lol dude that's brutal. I don't blame you. Going out like that is awful religious or not.

You go to hell, purgatory or heaven depending how well you did in life

>>82821429 (OP)
why can't it?
what was it like for you before you were born?

>>82823509
We can't remember
But that might be a design feature. We cannot know what happens before we are born or after we die

It prevents metagaming

Don't worry, you'll be going back to the void forever. There is no meaning. There is only endless death.
