Or some other incident where your consciousness could reappear. Cyclic universe theory is the scariest

Hey Guest,
An update on the OFCOM situation: As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. OFCOM, the UK’s communications regulator, has singled out our community, demanding compliance with their Online Safety Act despite our minimal UK presence. This is a blatant overreach, and they have been sending letters pressuring us to comply with their censorship agenda.
Our platform is already blocked by many UK ISPs, yet they continue their attempts to stifle free speech. Standing up to this kind of regulatory overreach requires lots of resources to maintain our infrastructure and fight back against these unjust demands. If you value our community and want to support us during this time, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations.

Agreed. I hope to just stop existing. I don't find reincarnation very plausible, but I guess you never know.

If this is enough to scare you from ctb, then maybe just... don't. It's a bit ridiculous for my standard, if I'm being honest.
Not reincarnation exactly but cyclic universe theory where your experience would be repeated over and over again because of how the universe works

The universe has been around for 13.8 billion years, for those first 13.7999999 billion years you had no conscience, you dont remember anything, and then all of a sudden you appear. Why would it be any different when you die than to when you were born. There is a high chance its exactly like how it was before you were born... Nothingness.
Yeah this idea is relaxing , but what if I'm gonna be reborn at the same manner with the same life because of the laws of physics

What do you mean by this? At the very worst you would be reborn but your conscience wont transfer, you cant be reborn into the same life again. It would just be like you are born as a new person. (ignoring any religious beliefs)

Why would existence take the form of an infinite expanding and collapsing universe
If time and existence are infinite, then any possible arrangement of matter (including your exact self) could repeat endlessly. It's like rolling dice if you roll them infinitely, every possible result must happen an infinite number of times.
If some deeper reality is eternal, then there's no conscious choice behind it—no purpose, no intention. It simply follows whatever fundamental laws govern existence. A cyclic universe, for example, could just be the inevitable result of how physics operates at the deepest level.
The universe doesn't show signs of having been designed with intention it just follows physical laws. Stars form, planets appear, life emerges, but none of it seems planned. It's just cause and effect, one thing leading to another in a chain of natural processes.
If no thought went into creation, then existence is just a brute fact . That makes everything, including our own lives, a kind of accident, not part of some grand plan.

If you have no memory of previous lives, surely you would have no memory going into the next life? So you would effectively be dead right?

I don't think it's likely that something came from absolutely nothing at all. True nothingness—meaning no space, no time, no laws of physics, no quantum fields—shouldn't have the ability to produce anything. There'd be no mechanism, no potential, no "spark" to make something happen.
If something exists now, it makes more sense that something must have always existed in some form—whether it's an eternal quantum field, an infinite cycle of universes, or something beyond our understanding.

If the world population is rising then there must be new souls being created no? In 1804 there were a billion people on earth. Now there is 8 billion.
If it was just a recycling then there wouldn't be enough souls. Seems like new souls are being created as well.
Hope that gives you a bit to think about and maybe eases some existential angst.
