What do you believe happens after you die?

[tannhausers]

A complete and total cessation of my self-awareness and consciousness—no observer at all; I won't even be able to realize that I've died—absolute emptiness and...

peace.

Think about the time before you were born, that's what it'll be like after death.
A nothingness you can't even be aware of.

HOW ARE you so sure of that?

HOW ARE you so sure of that?

I'm not a 100% sure, just somewhere around 90% because that's where proof points to.
We live somewhere inside this fatty tissue full of neurons talking to each other, we're chemistry and electrical impulses. When that ends, I can't imagine our limited biology somehow transcending into some unknown, unobserved and unprovable form of matter/energy where we'll continue being self-aware and conscious. We'll just turn into heat, gases, bacteria food... like any other creature.

does that scare you?

If I think too much about it, if I make my brain try to picture what ceasing to exist feels like it'll cause a fright. You can't really picture it, it's impossible, you've spent your entire life experiencing things. What do you mean you're suddenly not going to experience anything, not even the feeling of the atmosphere touching your skin, or the air entering your nostrils as you breathe? You won't have a single thought? What's that like?

It's a frightening idea for a processing machine to try to picture not being able to process anything anymore. You go crazy if you're sensory deprived. So yeah, tldr, it's scary to think about.

isn't it like sleeping?how is that scary?

 

[Bybye]

Nah man, you're still processing while asleep, you just don't remember it.

If I think of sleep I think of dreams. I think of the next morning. I can't think of the blip erased from memory that's not really there, just like I can't think of death.

yes but non existence is like sleep without dreams,it does not scare me atll.It is like sleeping

 

[Bybye]

That's cool.
I just manage to glitch my brain into the weirdest feelings now and then. I also gave myself a spook by picturing my body growing cold as my heart stopped beating.

There is nothing. Brain function ceases and your existence dies with the electrical signals.

how are you so sure?

 

[Forveleth]

how are you so sure?

I just am. But how sure can any of us be about what happens after we die? You asked what I believe, I answered.

 

[iwanttodie019]

1)improbability of existence 2)unknown nature of reality?
you cannot be 100% sure of that

Bro, what do you want from me?

 

[iwanttodie019]

you said it is the end.I said how are you so sure?

I do not believe in any religion and that leaves the biological explanation. Could there be something else? Well yes. Like I said, no one can be 100% sure.

I do not want to exist anymore so a total lights out is the dream!

cool.it is not the dream.but does not scare me either.it si like sleeping

As a Christian I do believe in the afterlife, and that there will be a judgement day (the main reason I didn't die years ago), yet as most religious people are, I have doubt and can't bring myself to 100% believe it, I just have faith that it's true

dreamless sleep seems to me like the perfect simulation of being dead. it's hard to grasp, but when you think about it, being alive is equally hard.

hey religion sounds like manmade nonsense.Why did Jesus not show himself to India(my country)?Why does it depend on the family that you are born in?
