Discussion What happens after we die?

[meltskelt]

I want to die, we all do, but deep down I'm kind of worried about the after death part. I would appreciente if anyone could tell their opinion about what might happen after we ctb

Nobody knows because dead men tell no tales. I believe in reincarnation and the soul trap though. Google "prison planet theory" if you're interested

I think there might be an afterlife of collective consciousness that does not experience time. I think our souls come here so we can experience the flow of time and how things change.

*Void (like before you were born)
*Afterlife
*Reincarnation

These are the main theories I guess.

personally my opinion I believe in the scientific explanations. I believe that once you die, you just lose consciousness forever it just doesn't exist anymore. Scientifically consciousness is tied to the functioning of the brain, so when brain activity ceases, consciousness is lost. So what i think is that consciousness does not persist after death, as it is a product of neuronal activity or in other words, once the brain stops functioning, consciousness ceases to exist, and the person experiences nothingness.

After the brain dies the brain can no longer generate thinking ,consciousness , feelings nothing ever again. Only the brain generates all thinking consciousness feelings emotions reasoning etc. how a human thinks , memories who they think they are is only etched in the neural networks of their brain.

After Death a human ceases to exist forever . After Death is non-existence forever. I'm glad I won't exist after Death. Non-existence forever is the best thing imaginable to me. I've had much more than enough of life / consciousness / existence

I think the brain creates an simulation like a first person video game . a model of the world and as if there were a viewer looking through the eyes. that's an illusion imo. There is only a 3 pound brain inside a skull in darkness generating this video game. the brain learns about the world through senses like the eyes. the eyes just transmitt electrical pulses which the brain makes sense of to create a model of the world and the illusion there is someone there behind the eyes to view it. but this software stops once the brain is destroyed 1 micro second after Death. The brain has no vision . light sensitive cells in the eyes transmitt that info to the brain.

Consciousness is also an illusion.

What if your consciousness is an illusion created by your brain? | Aeon Essays

Phenomenal consciousness is a fiction written by our brains to help us track the impact that the world makes on us

aeon.co

"Neuroscientists are beginning to understand the brain processes underlying all this. To put it simply, light reflected from the apple stimulates light-sensitive cells in the retina, sending trains of electrochemical impulses along the optic nerve to the lateral geniculate nucleus and then on to the visual cortex at the back of the brain. Here these signals trigger activity in hierarchically organised groups of cells specialised for the detection of increasingly complex features (edges, colours, motion, faces and so on). When you attend to what you are seeing, this visual information is 'globally broadcast' to mental systems involved in memory, reasoning, emotion and decision making, generating the host of effects mentioned. This process of global broadcast is called access consciousness, since it makes sensory information accessible to the rest of the mind, and thus to 'you' – the person constituted by these embodied mental systems. Again, I don't deny the reality of consciousness in this sense."

I agree with what he says in this video : Video title:

The Self Illusion - Why There's No 'You' Inside Your Head - Prof Bruce Hood

GPT-3 had 175 billion parameters in total; GPT-4 reportedly has 1 trillion. By comparison, a human brain has something like 100 billion neurons in total, connected via as many as 1,000 trillion synaptic connections. Vast though current LLMs are, they are still some way from the scale of the human brain

Large language models are an impressive advance in AI, but we are far away from achieving "true AI" — that is, human-level capabilities.

I think no matter what your beliefs about it are, that it's peaceful and that youll be set free from all you had to endure in this world. Of course nobody knows for sure what happens but I believe it'll be kinder than here.

Nothing will happen, we will just cease to exist

We better have an easier time next time around if we reincarnate

personally i don't know what to believe, but i think everyone's wrong, i hate the smugness of "WELL SCIENCE SAYS-" well those are a bunch of theories like clearly we know very little about the universe so i just don't really know what to believe, i wanna believe there's something at least

It is kind of scary to not know how death feels fr, so I really hope to be like going to sleep

true, just saying we're a meat loaf walking around won't make anything less confusing. I think it would be good to not have to think and worry ever again, but at the same time it still makes me kind of scared lol

In general, you start to decompose, your nutrients and constituents return to the soil, and you erode away to nothingness

i normally have a huge imagination and i could overthink a lot of things but thank god that i don't care about what happens after i die

the same thing could be asked about living. what happens if we all live and die naturally instead of attempting to ctb / actually succeed at ctb?

not trying to downtalk any fears or whatever but yea

we could have a fat conversation about the afterlife but there are so many possibilities

i mean i could even come back in the world as a cloud and roam around in the air

fun stuff cant wait

believe in what you wanna believe

you might even end up not ctb and live a happy life bc of it

who knows

 

[No More Tears]

I believe once you're gone, that's it. Off to the black abyss to become a speck of dust.

it's kinda of impossible to never ever think about it since it's the fate of everything and everyone
