The worry is that not only will we be utterly destroyed, but that the destruction will be so thorough it will blow backward through time erasing all events that ever happened and making it so that we never even lived. That means everything we experience right now didn’t happen, we are just seeing a probability of what could happen but didn’t because it’s all destroyed. These lives mean nothing.

- thatguy0900 6y agoThat's a very specific worry.
- rytill 6y agoI don't see how it's possible to un-make-something-happen. It already happened. It's gone. You can't kill what's already dead.

- xwdv 6y agoImagine they told you that when you die, not only will you be gone, but then they will go back and undo everything you ever did and basically make it like you never existed at all. It didn’t happen, you never happened.
- rytill 6y agoIt happened, therefore it happened somehow, someplace. What’s the difference between something having happened and not having happened? It doesn’t intrinsically mean anything. In addition, most humans learn to accept that there’s a good chance nothing they do will have an eternal effect on reality without needing any strange frameworks.
- FeepingCreature 6y ago"Everything we experience right now, didn't happen, we are just seeing" - Who exactly is seeing?
- maedla 6y agoIt seems like in that case there isn't much to worry about then :)
- joelbluminator 6y agoWhy is that a worry? I find it absolutely beautiful.
