nothing cant be experienced, so if we die, then (nothing), wont enough time eventually pass for us to wake up and experience something again?

Hey Guest,
We wanted to share a quick update with the community.
Our public expense ledger is now live, allowing anyone to see how donations are used to support the ongoing operation of the site.
👉 View the ledger hereOver the past year, increased regulatory pressure in multiple regions like UK OFCOM and Australia's eSafety has led to higher operational costs, including infrastructure, security, and the need to work with more specialized service providers to keep the site online and stable.
If you value the community and would like to help support its continued operation, donations are greatly appreciated. If you wish to donate via Bank Transfer or other options, please open a ticket.

Depends on your beliefs and what you define 'us' as. Will a conscious being be born after you die? Yes. Will it be 'you'? Probably not- as far as we are aware. Do you remember past lives?
I consider 'us' to be unique- in terms of- we were born to a specific set of parents at a specific time and location. Unless there are billions and billions of earth's out there to account for the billions of timelines, all running the same story, how else could you be born to the same parents, inherit the same genetics etc?
If you had different parents, if you were born 3000 years into the future on Mars. If you were born as a whale- would 'you' really be 'you' anymore?
It depends how you view consciousness I suppose. Whether you view it more as an independent entity that can float in and out of beings or, whether it's something more akin to an ability- like sight or, hearing. I personally believe our brains generate consciousness for the time period we are alive. Sure- other brains will exist in the future that generate their own consciousness but, I doubt they'll have anything to do with what I recognise as 'me'.
