So where do you fancy heading after you die?

Heaven? Hell? Nowhere? Limbo? Earth via reincarnation? Nirvana?

I'll be rotting in a grave thanks.

fancy?

FUCK YOU

I'd love to believe in a Discworldesque scenario, where Death comes to pick you up and lead you to whatever afterlife you believe in.
And who knows, maybe there is some higher power reprocessing us after our death - but honestly, I think I'll just... stop being/thinking. And I don't understand how anyone could be afraid of that.

Nikki's Oriental Massage

yeah. fancy?

Maybe it is a UK thing?

Fancy some tea luv?

You go to sleep, before you know it you're awake. You die, before you know it eternity has passed.

I'll go to Awesome World








btw, anyone here listen to the Jason Ellis show on Sirius/Factioon?

Yeah, I get what you mean. Some people think it would be incredibly boring, but you don't have a mind to be bored with, do you? It'd probably be like being a vegetable. A dead vegetable.

I believe in reincarnation. When I first learnt about it, someone explained to me that I could get reincarnated to anything that has some kind of consciousness, like a snail. So for some reason whenever I think of reincarnation, I always imagine myself as a snail.

Maybe it is a UK thing?

Fancy some tea luv?

No, no, that's "Fahhncy soom teh, loov?"

It seems a bit egotistical to me to think you will exist after your body dies.

Well... It's a curly one really, because it depends on how you define "exist"

Do you think your consciousness exists? Certainly not physically, but... it is there..

It is the workings of signals in my brain. I get your point however.

i'm going to wherever has the pop tarts.

if that's the case how do you know you're not already in it

That's pretty much what I figure is going on right now. I have no free will, just an endlessly repeating series of events that I pretend to believe I have some control over. I'm just a recorded set of memories though, and I guess I'm fine with it. It's better than not existing, right?

It's not better or worse than not existing.

decomposition.. hopefully a nice patch of grass or something

Wherever it is, I'm going to haunt the shit out of the lot of you.

i don't know

yeah 'cause lord knows you'll be one of the first to die! lolololol

i don't like going to sleep. :(

You know those video games (generally EA sport games) that let you replay something with full camera control so you can see it from whatever angle you want?

i want that, with a replay of my whole life. forever. fun as.

but honestly, I think I'll just... stop being/thinking. And I don't understand how anyone could be afraid of that.

This is an excellent way of thinking of death.

Nah there are somethings I don't want to see again. Then again with any camera angle I could see anyone that might have fucked with me that I never figured out if it was who I thought it was.

I hope my afterlife has internets.

Or you could just watch yourself fucking on repeat for all of eternity.

or watch your favourite concerts again, but with a better view of the stage.

I think it would be very strange to watch your life all over again. Some of it would be good, but life isn't all fun and games..

I have many theories on this, all too deep to type out.

don't kid yourself, believing you get to toke up and go with bill and ted on excellent adventures and bogus journeys isn't that deep at all.

I've never thought about it and I'm content with that

Na man. Some of my good friends from high school and I have thought up some really deep intricate theories. Not the type of thing that can be written down, but has to be flowed out with verbal words. And in the end, it all makes perfect sense.

Jesus fucking Christ.

You were high, that's why.

Of course we were, but we can look back at what we were able to think up and realize how brilliant it all was.

If you have answers but don't want to share them, then

Sometimes a picture says so much more than 'flowing it out with verbal words'.

I think it would be very strange to watch your life all over again. Some of it would be good, but life isn't all fun and games..

i never said you have to watch it all. you can skip to any point at will.

Still, imagine if you did.

What if you had to live it all over again? I wonder if that would be a good or bad thing? You could change the things you regretted doing/not doing.

it would be horrible.

There are some "friends" that I wish I didn't make, and some friends which I wish I made sooner.

Well... It's a curly one really, because it depends on how you define "exist"

Do you think your consciousness exists? Certainly not physically, but... it is there..

Just think about how much your consciousness is influenced by your body, your perception of it and the perception of others.

flowed out with verbal words

...verbal words...

i will construct my own afterlife obviously.

when i was younger i often thought about what happens after death, and there were times where i even thought i'd kill myself jsut to find out. i was not suicidal in the way that i didn't want to live anymore, it was just that i was extremely interested in finding out where you go when you die...well, i was never nosy enough, and i'm kinda happy i wasn't

now, i don't care. it's something i have no control over (if you rule out the already mentioned discworld-scenario, which is kinda cool, esp. if you take suicide terrorists and evangelical people into the equation). i'm not afraid of death or what comes after it, i'd just like it not to happen in the near future, my lifes too good for that right now

i will construct my own afterlife obviously.

i once read a fictional story which kind of went like this...a eprson died and found it's conscience in a total void, but it was able to "build" stuff...on a sort of atomic level...after a while of testing the possibilities he ended up constructing a baby...and was reborn as it...i kind of liked the idea

well, my afterlife will have rock bands and cheap drugs but whatever floats your boat

uhm you guys, there is no afterlife. ;/

i never said you have to watch it all. you can skip to any point at will.

I sometimes find myself, with an awareness of how ridiculous I'm being, taking this idea for granted and behaving accordingly. Or rather, I take it for granted that my loved ones (or anyone) will be able to scrub back through my life, watching events for which they were not present, knowing my thoughts, etc., etc. It's a scary way to live and I'm trying to get myself rid of it.

There was also a period where I was terrified by the idea that when you die, you're just stuck in your body for eternity, even after it's rotted away. You spend infinity seeing whatever passes in front of the last place your eyes were looking. How shitty would that be?

Still, imagine if you did.

What if you had to live it all over again? I wonder if that would be a good or bad thing? You could change the things you regretted doing/not doing.

If that were the case, some early changes could dramatically change the path of the rest of your life so that it's vastly different.

well, my afterlife will have rock bands and cheap drugs but whatever floats your boat

can i come be in your afterlife?

Netphoria's philosophy is a-class.

yeah

you are that kind of guy

please continue and open an aim convo with banana while you're at it

He is way ahead of you on these grounds. Reading between the lines he sees that little input is needed to justify his intellect and insight.

disneyworld

or the brazilian grand prix

man that would rock

You gather all experience of existance and then you dream, artificially creating your own reality and environment abstract of time and space. The infinate vessel of mind data to manipulate just beyond comprehension.

It would be like playing a game, mindgames. The information is processed and then experimented with, like art. Undefined and abstract to any 'caged reality' subtraction, but of course linked to experience. It would be beautiful, guys.

jesus fucking christ banana is such a fucking idiot
