I did get messed up by some anxiety and have these thoughts rolling through my head so I’ll leave it at cosmic horror warning.

spoiler

I’m not religious but I have thoughts about experiencing consciousness and what it is. I say that consciousness is independent of memory because we forget, clearly dependent on our physical body, etc. generally I do say that we don’t know consciousness so maybe it can be reconstructed (in the can’t rule out the possibility way)

So I can see scenarios were my conscious could pop into existence without my memories after I die (as I’m writing this I realized that’s nothing to fear).

I am trying to adopt healthier mindset of looking at everything in life as a quest, new things are a call to action, and that it’s okay if everything I do amounts to little in x number of years (worked out okay for ozymandias, right?).

Im probably just rambling because my life has got boring and monotonous along with actual fear of American politics.

    He emphasized that the information he collected was suggestive of reincarnation but “was not flawless and it certainly does not compel such a belief.”

    If even the guy who had done the most research on it doesn’t believe in it, why should anyone else?

      Don’t cherrypick qoutes.

      Regardless he had to say that to give himself an out, there was concern that he’d be judged negatively for even suggesting reincarnation. Something proven by your own hostility.

        When you see anyone disagreeing with you as hostility, you’ve clearly lost the thread.

        Stop trying to twist his words in weird ways that benefit your stance, he very literally said we shouldn’t believe.
