Why do so many incels cope with reincarnation?

[Kointo1]

the truth doesn't exist. the human brain is too limited to comprehend [true] reality. any ideas you have about afterlife, yourself, etc. will always be challenged and disproven. You actually exist and you don't exist at the same time. Life and everything is meaningless. Any belief whatsoever is massive cope.

So if I think that nothing happens after I die, I'm coping?

Studying Near-Death Experiences has opened my mind to the possibility of the mind persisting after death

How so?

We are God

We created this finite reality to escape from the truth of eternity and to appease our boredom

umm....no.

I'm highly doubtful.

its about not having attachments to life. but that's literally impossible unless you are in a catatonic state. probably the closest you can get consciously is [font=Roboto, arial, sans-serif]Sokushinbutsu[/font]

Ok keep coping

 

[modus_coperandi]

If the timeline of eternity goes in both direction than I support Nietzsche's theory of the eternal recurrence of the same. So if the timeline is just long enough we will inevitably experience our Inceldom and misery again and again and again...

Or just commit suicide. No?

Those who are truly hopeless will turn to anything as a coping mechanism.

I see it a lot on here either jokingly or seriously, and sometimes I can't tell which. People talk about it as if it's a possibility. It's major cope and false hope.

Reincarnation is my only cope keeping me from going ER, I refuse to believe that it doesn't exist. After all my bodies energy must go somewhere via insects or some newborn, either way I'll still live on even if indirectly.

The energy you have stored up will be consumed by decomposers. This doesn't mean you'll be reborn as something else though.

if you look at life, you see that creatures do not require a brain to have oneness. If you look at the surrounding universe, you will see that nothing ever stops existing. Individuals start existing out of apparently nowhere, so why should it not happen again and again? Nothingness is an illusion. You will always be a part of this world, just as water evaporates and returns as rain. It is a childish belief that after death there is blackness, and this belief stems from a child closing its eyes and only seeing blackness, and it thinks to itself: "Death must be like this".

Don't people reincarnate as animals?
Why would anyone want that?

There isn't "blackness". It's just nothingness. You stop perceiving.

Creatures need brains to stay alive.

i just want to reborn as some ugliest monster with a strength to put any human army to rout. then i will watch the disgusted and dreaded face of every femoid and impale them to death with my monster dick.
i know this won't happen, but just imagining it gives me a sense of joy.

Ok. Hawt.

You basically answered your own question. They're coping.

Pretty much.

 

[subsaharan]

it's cope. but it's impossible to rule out in absence of any naturalistic understanding of the metaphysical nature of self. "Self" being defined as whatever feature, or set of features, either of particular atoms themselves or that are emergent from the interaction of said atoms, that allow "you" to inhabit your body  -- and be the agent experiencing the emergent state of awareness known as "self" -- as opposed to someone or something else.  

solving the question of self would answer where "we" were prior to birth, where we go after we die, the probability of reincarnation, the plausibility of artificial consciousness, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_of_other_minds etc

at the current moment I believe all atoms in the universe (both in living and in inanimate objects) have at least the potential for self. that is, any set of atoms, given the right configuration, can have emergent consciousness. hard to speculate any further than that, but I tend to believe if reincarnation is possible (rephrased: if your conscious experience can re-emerge in another living neural configuration after the atoms forming your original central nervous system have decomposed and dispersed) I find it hard to believe it could happen at intervals shorter than a cosmological timescale (i.e., intra-species rebirth as another human, or claims of past-lives as other humans, seem especially fanciful).
