  • This is hard to articulate, but like molecules thar make up a person constantly come in and leave the body and when their in the body they “change states”. Technically while you’re alive you changing into other things constantly. Person you were a second ago could be considered dead since that was a specific combination of atoms that are lost.

    It just ads to the mystery of consciousness







  • Yeah I’m no gonna subscribe to the religious concept of reincarnation. I do agree it wouldn’t make sense that there’s a fixed number of souls that were doing it for eternity, or that there’s this coherent cycle reincarnating as different animals all the way back to begining of life.

    It is cool think about “soul” being cleansed like some day we can become redeemable through some process. I don’t believe that’s happening


  • Yeah theirs an idea that universal can recreate particles and mass from energy that exists and eventually I guess the universe can recreate the the universe similar to how we know it after some amount of time or make a big bang. I don’t understand that physics but interesting concept.

    I would be curious if the was consciousness without matter, maybe a pure energy based being could exist



  • In my scenario it would be “consciousness” whatever that is. I could imagine myself with different set of memories or alternate timeline where a different set of events happened. I don’t have any evidence that those scenarios exist, but it would paint a picture that I could be a different person or even a different living continue being.

    But yeah if I did have a past life it’s totally lost to me.


  • I was thinking you’d be “reincarnated” or reconstituted via Boltzmann’s brain scenario and you’d get your memories back after some crazy amount of time, but I get that could happen at an earlier stage in life. Sounds like the “universe was created 5 minutes ago along with all our memories” BS

    It’s interesting having someone tell me to not worry about it.
