I don't want to die miserable and broken. In a way, I feel that if I die that way that i'll always feel that way since my brain has no concept of not existing.
Why does a person's personality change when their brain is damaged in a certain way?You might not be your brain, have you ever considered that?
When you're playing a video game you have a number of decisions you can take with that character, but if something happens to the character you will have a smaller number of decisions that you can take with it. It's the same with our soul. The ego is the soul character.Why does a person's personality change when their brain is damaged in a certain way?
Your asserting something without evidence and therefore I dismiss it without evidenceWhen you're playing a video game you have a number of decisions you can take with that character, but if something happens to the character you will have a smaller number of decisions that you can take with it. It's the same with our soul. The ego is the soul character.
I wasn't claiming, I was proposing a possible explanation for your question. Besides you believe that the universe exists without consciousness, but we can only ever see the universe in our consciousness therefore I dismiss materialism.Your asserting something without evidence and therefore I dismiss it without evidence
Your asserting something without evidence and therefore I dismiss it without evidence
For me it is 100% fact that the afterlife exists, however from a general standpoint I think the wisest view would be an agnostic. You don't really know what awaits you after your death.
Have you ever had a verified OOBE? Like, did you see something you could have not seen unless the experience was real? It happened to me only once. Most of the time my oobes look just like normal lucid dreams or hallucinations.
So then what's the point of suicide if we keep existing after death?I wasn't claiming, I was proposing a possible explanation for your question. Besides you believe that the universe exists without consciousness, but we can only ever see the universe in our consciousness therefore I dismiss materialism.
In that case nobody will be able to change your mind since there is no evidence for anything when it comes to afterlife.Your asserting something without evidence and therefore I dismiss it without evidence
How can you back the idea 100%?For me it is 100% fact that the afterlife exists, however from a general standpoint I think the wisest view would be an agnostic. You don't really know what awaits you after your death.
Why do you think there's an afterlife? Do you think it's eternal too?In that case nobody will be able to change your mind since there is no evidence for anything when it comes to afterlife.
You believe what you believe.
I personally completely disagree with your way of thinking. A brain can definitely stop existing. We just aren't able to grasp the concept of not existing while we are alive.
I don't think there is an afterlife.Why do you think there's an afterlife? Do you think it's eternal too?
To play in a better game because this one sucks duuuh.So then what's the point of suicide if we keep existing after death?

I think the strongest evidence for NDE are born blind patients seeing during them.Because I have read many scientific books on the subject and read of thousands of OOBES and NDEs and know people who have had that kind of experience. I have also had many experiences I cannot explain so it leads me to believe it 100%.
dude x'DTo play in a better game because this one sucks duuuh.
Very interesting question.Santiago I agree with you that NDE are not death experiences, but why do you think, in case an after life existed (i think yes) you would need to be dead to find evidence for it?
Another chance.So then what's the point of suicide if we keep existing after death?
Existence doesn't interest me. Ever since I was a little boy, ive never wanted to live. I didn't know suicide was an option then or else I would've done itAnother chance.
You can give up your ego when you die if you want and merge with source.Existence doesn't interest me. Ever since I was a little boy, ive never wanted to live. I didn't know suicide was an option then or else I would've done it
Well since we are making up hypothetical situations..what if you no longer feel the way you do now and you just become this different 'person'?Existence doesn't interest me. Ever since I was a little boy, ive never wanted to live. I didn't know suicide was an option then or else I would've done it
In my opinion, you would be gone, I won't be worried by that.Existence doesn't interest me. Ever since I was a little boy, ive never wanted to live. I didn't know suicide was an option then or else I would've done it
I could use the Quantum Physics argument which clearly shows that we collapse the wave function therefore we ourselves, the consciousness, create the brain and not the brain creates us, but I will be attacked by "Naaah bruh quantum physics is just weird and no one understands it" kind of guys. I think even scientists know this but because the consciousness model of reality is not practical they just don't recognize it and give us bullshit explanations like "it's just a weird thing that seems to contradict our materialism, but don't worry guys one day we will be able to explain it with our materialism" It's like god of the gaps.Still think your original idea is flawed as the brain stops working once you die (not immediately but seconds after)
Now I get it. I said it myself in an earlier comment..we know very little about anything so who knows right. We all like to speculate.
But until the opposite has been proven by scientists, neurologists etc. I do like to side with what we actually currently know which is that the lights go out and that's it. Non existence.
