Current evidence is overwhelmingly in favour of the non existence of souls. therefore, death isn't a possible adventure, it's nothing.
About the meaning of immortality, I recommend the Fun Theory sequence at lesswrong.com"
No I don't believe in souls. You are assuming beliefs that I don't have.
Nihilism does not require a belief in anything supernatural. I do believe that death is real, and therefore I believe that dying is something that happens to people. The point is that you can't prove in any objective way that death is less meaningful than life.
This is not really due to the nature of life and death, it is due to the nature of meaning itself.
- loup-vaillant 16y agoOK, I was confused by the word "adventure". I assumed that if you said this, then "death" must be… something. I thought we were disagreeing on facts. And of course I can't prove that death is less "meaningful" than life: that's a moral judgement, not a factual belief.
