Plato's Afterlife: Ideas of Reincarnation, Near-Death Experience, and the Immortal Mind

[@ThreeChordDave]

Great video yet again. I really enjoyed the discussion about the after life idea, I have a couple of thoughts that came to me that probably make no sense! So what if you go through your 1000 year limbo and you've been through the bad place, then you choose a life as a butterfly because 30 days later you're back in limbo for another 1000 years and maybe as a butterfly you can be better and get yourself into that good limbo experience... just thinking how I can game the system here!! Another thought is if the life that you choose is already planned out and has every detail decided then really we are not living life but allowing it to play out before us. So how much control do we have over our thoughts, feelings and actions in these lives? This will fuel my thoughts today! Thanks for another great video, I learn a lot from you each week.

Thank you! That is a great point - varying lifespans would be a way. But I guess you'd have to count on yourself being a moral and stoic butterfly. Ha. I guess if you have your plan if it goes that way and Plato is right!
