Life is such a bizarre thing. Billions of years pass in a universe beyond human comprehension. Then a baby is born and the spark of a person slowly takes shape. A few short decades later and that spark fades as the body becomes unable to sustain it. Afterwards, trillions of years may pass in this universe.
I wish our sparks could endure.
- Bluestein 2y agoI wanted to merely thank you for your comment, as for ... ... reasons, I've been thinking much about this very issue.- So, seconded.-
- Bluestein 2y agoGreat. The famous "desiderata downvote" ... :)
- therobots927 2y agoI consider myself an agnostic, but a fantasy I allow myself is that simulation theory is true, and that souls are real, which is possible under simulation theory, because it would allow for information about the physical world (like the physical structure of someone’s brain including memories) could be stored outside of the universe in some type of database. I’m not saying I believe this but just considering it as a possibility is something I like to think about.
- hobotime 2y agoIf we're just a particular configuration, that configuration will have to exist again with infinite time and infinite universes. If that holds, then it would be well to align ourselves such that we have a better chance to awake in a good place rather than a bad place.
- therobots927 2y agoYeah I’ve thought along those lines as well. Almost like the multiverse is on a trajectory shaped by an infinite accumulation of decisions over trillions of years. And that would also provide a basis for a form of reincarnation ( if there is no actual data transfer then any past life memories would just be coincidental)
