[@naturalisted1714]

@@reanimationeas342 It does. New consciousnesses are born everyday, and consciousness will exist in the context of other brains after you no longer exist. So it'll be one of the consciousnesses that *do* exist that will be what follows death. This gives us very good reason to be kind to all life.

"nothing" is probably like being put under except you don't wake up. When I "went under" it was like going to sleep and waking up with no time having passed. There was just, nothing. It was quite peaceful. Yet the thought of that forever is somehow scary.

I was once scared of the thought of dying. My dad asked me “do you remember anything before you were born?” I said no.

[@darkmatter100]

Believe in what you want, if there is consciousness after death, you might not get what you want, but you'll be ready for it. If there is nothing, you'd never know. And who knows, there may be something after the long nothing, you won't have felt time pass until that 'something' happens. It'll have been a small moment. It's just like going to sleep with no dream, you just may not wake up. You'll never even know.

[@elliast]

okok. so from wut i think ur scared of eternal oblivion because its the total annihilation of the self and u cease to exist. the thing about this is that by the time ur gone and are nothing, u would have no thoughts and emotions to think about wuts happening and tell if its good or bad. good and bad only make sense in terms of sensation and since death is the cessation of sensation there isnt a time where death is good or bad for u cuz u arent there. think of it like sleeping and not dreaming, it is just that nothingness and moment of peace before u start dreaming or wake up, but in the case of death u do not wake up and that oblivion would last forever, it isnt scary. u havent existed before u were born and didnt feel bad about anything cuz u were gone and didnt exist.

Have no fear, because Eternal Oblivion is 100% unprovable, you can't prove Non existence exists. Thats like saying "its slippery when dry", Or at a restaurant, ordering a frozen water and melted ice, or ordering French fries without potatoes. Basically it suggests that existence was just some random accident and every thing within this existence is also a random accident. Really? So if you consider the total amount of people that have lived and died on this planet, that's an awful amount of random complex accidents happening on just one planet, wouldn't you agree? Everything we've achieved, photographing a black hole, being able to see light that's 13 billion years old (CMB or Cosmic Microwave Background) We've been able to observe far away Nutron Stars in visible light, we've sent probes to the boundaries of our solar system, even being able to study Voids and Supervoids. In fact Voids and Supervoids (known also as Intergalactic space) are the closest thing to an Oblivion as possible. When you consider that there's about 10 trillion trillion atoms per cubic meter, here on earth, guess how many atoms are in these voids? About 10 atoms per cubic meter of space, Human accomplishments like mapping the human Genome, DNA genetic sequences, Mathematics, gravity, subatomic particles, Electromagnetism, Plasma, languages, are all just random accidental occurrences, meaning essentially it's a contradiction of existence. I didn't know being Emo was a universal constant. And for those people who try and describe Oblivion 🤦‍♂️ please shut the hell up, because that's just beyond grasping for straws, because I'm going to demand to see postcards since you think you can describe something undescribable. Also this is clear proof that the only Nothingness that exists is within these people's heads. They seem to be very unaware how hypocritical their ideology is. They're critical towards others who have faith in whatever higher power they choose to believe in, despite the lack of scientific evidence. Yet they accept Eternal Oblivion as fact despite the lack of scientific evidence. How is that any different then having faith in something? Science tries describing Oblivion as a dreamless sleep, really? And yet Science has yet to explain what dreams even are, what their purpose is and what mechanisms in the brain cause them, oh wait i take that back, dreams probably just randomly manifested out of Nothingness. I remember Hawking years ago said "there's no afterlife for broken down computers" with all do respect that's a nonsenical statement, because if you want to go with the "our brains are like a computer" I'm no computer expert but what is required for a computer to function? Energy! and in order to interact with a computer you need software correct? But regardless of what state the computer is in, but the Software must of come from somewhere though, the computer didn't just create the software itself out of nothing did it? Take Nurons as an example, in order for them to function they send electrochemical signals (energy) throughout the body. If you remove all energetic activity from the brain, what do you think is going to happen to the brain? Basically it becomes an inactive, nonfunctional lump of matter that has the consistency of Tofu, in those terms think of the brain as the computer and Consciousness as the software, a broken cpu doesn't necessarily mean the software and information thats stored in its memory is permanently lost. So ok yeah there's no afterlife for broken down computers but the software still exists. So yeah even if the brain dies, the Energy and Quantum information that makes you....you, remains thanks to the laws of physics.

There is no way anyone can comprehend let alone imagine eternal oblivion cause if I am not mistaken, none existence in the absolute sense is not something anyone can or would be fimiliar since all we know is existence. Now the argument that what follows post physical death is what was pre-birth but there is not a compelling argument to why that make sense. Since we live in a time constraint existence, what would an end be consists of! He also said in the video that consciousness can not exist without a physical brain yet nobody in science can explain how the brain explains consciouness cause the brain at best only explains what consciousness does, how it qurrallates with the brain but it does not tell us why and what is the sensation of seeing red let us say so this guy is really beating a dead horse.

[@NPCRR]

None of the replies invalidates my original argument. If there IS an afterlife, one has hedged their bet. If there IS NO afterlife, one has lived a just and moral life, hurting as few others as possible, and along the way, learned a form of moral responsibility. As Data was instructing Loal, he said that "the reward is in the journey." One can agree or disagree, but perhaps the idea is to cause the least amout of physical/paychological harm as possible to others.

I would like to see an advanced mathematician take a look at this from a probabilistic stand point.

How long would it take before a new creature is born that possesses your mind?

I have been suffering with a bad depression for over 11 years, and I have agonia when thinking about death since I was a little child (I have memories of fearing eternal oblivion since I was 2 years old, my first memories that I can still remember are about this fear). Due to my depression, I often desire death but at the same time I fear it. I would prefer to have something instead of nothing after death. I have not existed for more than 13 billion years. The thought of not existing FOREVER is terrifiying. Eternal Oblivion just nullifies you. There is no you to feel anything, or even to have the awareness that you existed and died... it sucks. It hurts me terribly. If I could I would believe in spirituality even if it is bullshit because it would be more comfortable for my mental health but i can't just force myself to believe in divine beings and afterlife. If I could force myself I would.

For people here who need something to reconcile with possibility of eternal annihilation of awareness. I think it's important to recognize the place you are in. Despite there being originally, completely nothing. Somehow, something came into existence. The grass outside your window, the fabrics of your blanket, even you, a conscious, aware being, came from that impossibility. A lot of people talk about the eternal stillness of our universe, the heat death of everything. But personally to me it's ignorance. We exist in a place that shouldn't even be possible, atoms can't just have always existed. They had to be created. But how? From nothing? That defies everything. And yet, so it is. There is so much beyond our observable universe. There is a brink humans can never explore past as things are just moving to fast away from us. You are already living in eternity. People can fling things around like odds, possibilities. Say the conditions for you existing again are point zero quadrillion one to the quadrillionith power. It is meaningless. If you pull the lever on casino slots long enough, eventually you will hit the jackpot. It's but a matter of time. I don't like speaking in definites, but you live in a place that shouldn't even be possible, but yet here you are. I'm terrified of eternal unawareness, but I try to take solace in the knowledge that anything is possible. Just because to me this is my one and only life, who's to say I haven't opened my eyes in a billion different lives already? Enjoy this life for what it is, it's very easy to be scared of the unknown. But it's ok, we live in a space of endless possibility.

But the living find a point every day. Eating food, having children to continue a species, finding and building shelter, safety. And then there's higher levels of meaning. The emotions we conjure up in story, culture, music. Spreading and sharing ideas. Invoking imagination and creation. Conveying our experience. Sharing memories and bonds with one another. It's all pointless. However, you deny that pointlessness, your existence denies the reality of everything. Because unlike it. You can do something it cannot. You make a reason to be alive. You create your own meaning for this meaningless place. By existing, every moment, you are doing something so utterly out of turn from how this place functions without you. By having wants, needs, desires. There may be no grand meaning or point. But your point, your meaning and goal for this life, is everything. Whatever your goal and passion for living is. Reach out to it and take ahold of it for all it's worth. Because it's of my opinion, your meaning for life, your life. Is everything. You are the meaning. You are what makes existence beautiful.

Part 1. During August of 1973, I was pronounced DEAD On Arrival, at a Medical centre, and at least half an hour passed by, and then my heart started to beat again, without medical assistance... During the time I was reported to be dead, I, that is "LIFE My Real Self", felt very much alive, but not in this universe, nor did I have a human body or any other type of body. I felt NO Condemnation or judgement, but only a depth of LOVE far beyond human understanding... I saw No relatives, family or friends, and no Form, except for the Presence of pure white LIGHT.

It is a bit strange that we should pretend to know what nothingness might be like, and all of the amusing references to "when I was nothing" or "when I did not exist" only seem to emphasize the paradox, since it is NOT something we can possibly know or experience. When we are in deep dreamless sleep, there is still alot going on and we are certainly still there. It seems that the wish for non-existence is no different than hoping for eternal life, both are equally incomprehensible to us and therefore one need not be troubled by either.

This is my condensed version of "Death Nothingness and Subjectivity" ... Imagine, hypothetically, that you and another conscious being are the only two beings in the entire universe. There's only yours and its conscious experiences. Then you cease to exist. The only experience that could follow your end is the (other) conscious experience that didn't cease to exist. Or I can put it like this: Will sentient beings be alive after you die? Yes. So then your consciousness will be followed by one of those consciousnesses, because those will be the only experiences that will be going on (at that point in time).

Doesn’t last for eternity. Death isn’t eternal. Mathematically speaking anyways. There are a finite amount of matter in the universe. Eventually all matter can and will be reconstructed I. The same exact way given enough time. Long time period between eventual re-emergence? Yeah probably so, but not eternal. Probability statistics and math play a part in those timescales. You much more likely to literally be reassembled given enough time as opposed to not existing after death for eternity. That means zero probability of your matter and atoms somehow randomly reorganizing. Which they could do given anything short of an infinite amount of time. Which eternity is. Would it seem like eternity? No, because the moment you died and the moment you became again you literally wouldn’t know if 2 seconds had passed, to you anyways. Anyone not dead would understand how long you’ve been gone.

The closest thing we can experience to death is sleep, as it is when our brain is least active (closest to inactivity, ergo death). Sleep feels like oblivion. So, it can only be logically concluded that brain death results in oblivion.

[@robertdobie2544]

I exist only here, only now. I don’t exist on a mountain top somewhere in Madagascar. I don’t exist in a crater on the moon. I don’t exist on the ocean floor, or in Oslo Norway. In a way, I am “dead” in those places. Yet, my non-existence in those places (and in a countless number of others) doesn’t bother me. Death is possibly something like that. It might even be argued that there is more terror to be found in life than there is in death. But there are Oreo cookies in life.

All well and good, but what happens beyond the Eternal Oblivion? Could your consciousness easily be awoken again? Space and time would "not" be irrelevant. You could be born again in trillions, and trillions of years from the time of your death. In another universe perhaps? But it could feel you just woke up from a one good nights, sleep? There are so many things about the universe which we may never understand. What we do know is. Information is not lost, and given enough time. Even against all odds "Life, and consciousness finds away!" Could we be as eternal as the cosmos?

I completely agree, thank you. This is LITERALLY way more scientifically plausible than the above hypothesis. The eternal oblivion theory is actually very lazy and illogical. It completely disconnects one from the actual universe and its rules ergo also the STATE OF BEING. So it really is just very narrowly thoughtout and tbh it is due to a kind of zynical, dogmatic nihilism. Do you know the Theory by Donald Hoffman? Concious Realism?

The comparison to the "pre-birth state" is, in my opinion, the one which works best when coming to talk about "What it will be like after we are dead". The fact is that, at least for what we know, we were never something before our birth, so we did not even care or were scared about dying just because...we never even lived. So I guess it's something really human to be scared of dying because we partly know what it means to be nothing for an unspecified amount of time, but at the same time we fail to grasp it at its fullest meaning. Maybe just because of fear, maybe because we live our lives knowing we are not eternal.

If I slipped into oblivion and it is suppose to be like before I was born then i wouldnt have ever remembered this life at all so in fact I am already dead. If I am already dead does that mean I can't die and that in fact this death is eternal and therefore this life I am living now is eternal? Am I already dead?
