Just the title. Heavens? Hells? Purgatory? Nothing? Become one with the universe? Reincarnation?

Bonus question: If you could design the system of your choice, what would you want?

    Do you remember what its like to be asleep? Well, being dead is just the same, but for longer, and probably with fewer dreams.

    Nothing. I’m not spiritual, though I do sort of believe some things like that in a non-literal fashion. I don’t believe I am part of some sort of unity, though I would say that yeah in an abstract sense I am just a complex multi-cellular organism and in most cases cooperation with other multi-cellular organisms is preferred. With the systems how they are now though, I am not participating (even if it is to my own detriment).

    Design? It would require a bunch things that likely won’t happen in my lifetime. Basically a transhumanist re-do. Get my brain somewhere and somewhen better, get it going again ideally with a mix of symbiosis+tech that allows existing comfortably. This could take a lot of forms too (many that others would find too alien/isolated), though not too hopeful about the future and that I could actually have a place in it.

    Depends on whether you get cremated or not. If you’re cremated, you turn into ash. Otherwise you most likely turn into dirt.

    Don’t know, probably nothing. Whatever happens but with a score screen in the end. Times taken a piss, hours slept, right/wrong ratio when arguing on the Internet.

    Brain gets no more blood. Neural biochemistry breaks down. Brain dies. You die. That’s it. Except for some incoherent and contradictory texts from bronze-age books or wishful thinking by naive people, there is ZERO scientific evidence that heaven or reincarnation exist. Even Buddha never suggested we would reincarnate, that was an idea added later by some of his followers. The bible is very flimsy on the entire concept of hell and heaven.

    You go back to where your consciousness comes from. Everyone has their own idea of what that means, but I don’t think anyone is 100% correct.

    Actually, personality I believe that everyone is correct. You can go chill in heaven for a while, do whatever you want, maybe come back to Earth again after a breather.

    You know that feeling when you’re playing a really intense game or watching a movie, and then it ends? And you just sit there like, damn. That was epic. Then you talk about it with your friends and family, maybe eat lunch, just hang out for a while before deciding what to do next? The comfortable zone after an exciting event but before boredom sets in. Maybe that movie was peak for you and you’re done forever, maybe not.

    Since I’m not religious, the most logical answer is probably nothing. We simply cease to exist.

    Obviously though, I won’t know until it happens.

    We just die and then we’re gone. Reincarnation could be a comforting idea while we’re alive, but even if it’s real, we’ll never know.

    You do not “become” one with the universe - you already are. 🧘🏻‍♂️
