Death is the true blackpill

[Fontaine]

You will die sooner than what you expect. A common belief nowadays is that you simply cease to exist after death, but there's no evidence it will be the case. From religious revelations to quantum immortality, there's no guarantee your consciousness will fully disappear after death. Worst case scenario, the afterlife is even more terrible than our current life. For instance, Christianity promises the eternal flames of Hell to every unrepentant masturbator.

If you die but you can still think or feel insane, insane pain when a bullet goes through your head as opposed to going to nothingness, that would be horrible

"What is with atheists' obsession with juxtaposing thoughts about the enormity of the Universe with supposed proscriptions against masturbation? Even if you're an agnostic theist, why do you parrot atheist memes in such a dutiful way?"

Occam's Razor, what's more likely: you die along with all of your brain functions, or there's a mystical, omnipotent force that cares about you so much that it won't make itself clear to you until after you die?

Conciousness after death? Now this is really a very implausible ideea. Scientific research has established that the mind and consciousness are closely connected with the physiological functioning of the brain, the cessation of which defines brain death.

Once your entire organism has de facto ceased all it's functionality, you are gone. It's over.

Fuark, this makes me want to be nofapcel forever and ever.

This is nothing to fear. Even if a part of you does continue to exist in some capacity, it wouldn't be entirely you. One thing we can prove is that memories are stored within the brain, without that bit of gray matter I don't see how we can truly call this the same consciousness. I think the worst case scenario would be we're simply reborn to live another life again and again, or worse still, the same. Although the second one doesn't seem all that possible, I don't even think Nietzsche actually took it seriously.

Another thing to add is that if there is an afterlife, that we in our entirety experience, it should seem as though no time passed at all from your death.

Its believed that you will die twice. First, your biological death. Then, people will stop saying your name.

Interestingly enough I have a Neuroscience degree and actually there is more sense To what OP says than it seems. Yes consciousness has been proven to be connected to the brain. But then you could do the same experiments and prove the image on the tv is dependent on the tv. Does that mean the image originates from the tv?

And here... we... go!

quantum immortality

You are just embarrassing yourself at this point, bruv.

I imagine death is like going to sleep, and sleeping isn't so bad. I think I'll hit the hay right now.

 

[Hikikomori]

At this point being a nihilist about death is logical, no one knows for certain what's next. All we can do is speculate. If i'm headed to heaven or hell, anywhere between, or maybe it's nowhere ... fuck all i can do about any of it. My hopes would be that we simply enter the state of nothingness, that was before we were created.

One this morning haha but it’s true tho

There’s no experiment that proves the brain couldn’t just be a receiver of consciousness rather than a generator

And all this quantum shit is legit. Basically reality is nothing like what it seems to be to us. Time isn’t really a thing.

I don't entirely follow you, by this logic we can also reason that nothing can actually be proven. My consciousness, the thing that's typing this sentence right now, is a simulation made possible by several existing elements working together. While I can't currently prove that there is anything at all behind me right now, I can intuitively gather from memory that there are multiple things behind me, one of which is a bed, another a wall. I assume I'm in my house, but I couldn't actually prove it if asked with current sensory information. You can extrapolate this reasoning to just about anything else. While I can't prove that my consciousness is dependent on my material brain, based upon my current understanding of reality, that's what I'm going to go with.

You could dissemble my computer, and if you did we wouldn't call a mess of disassembled parts a computer. Similarly, you wouldn't call a mess of disembodied organs a human. I'm not claiming that there isn't a part of us which is immaterial, only that it doesn't make a difference, my point remains the same. I have no reason to believe that upon the disassembly of the requirements of which my consciousness seems dependent, that my consciousness would still continue as before the separation.

Time isn’t really a thing.

Time is no more real than this keyboard I'm touching. Neither are "real", it's only my experience of them which I can affirm as reality. Once you begin to understand the nature of our existence, it becomes clear that it's something that most surely shouldn't be propagated.

Low IQ.
A negative can never be proven. That's why the burden of proof is on the one making the claim.

That's why I use christianity as a cope
