I may be about to do a lap of the world to attend an inquest. Fuck.
Fuck Israel
that is a really rubbish way to die.
but hey, and i hope you don't mind me saying this... it's better he died than lived on with a severe head injury.

Well, there is a 33% chance he is in a better place now.
severe head injury pretty much denotes severe burden.Jay wrote:

Why you die you cease to exist. Isn't that scary?
It does solve a lot of problems. It just also prevents enjoyment of that fact.SuperJail Warden wrote:

There are multi billion-billion-billion atoms in our bodies that attest to "life" beyond the grave. Who knows what some will eventually become a part of when they stop being us? It's not even profound.

Your consciousness is destroyed though. I have been dwelling on it a lot lately. It frightens me.

The process of dying doesn't scare me. I'm afraid of my consciousness not existing. The fact that I won't know I was dead is the scary part.
Try to follow the conversation.

I'd be lying if I said I never found the prospect at least somewhat intimidating, but at least it gives you something to think about when there's nothing better to do.
If you could archive your consciousness or transfer it into an active machine or new body, would it still be you or just think it's you, and if you can't save yourself that way is there any internal merit to doing so? After routinely losing access to so many conscious memories, how much of your mind can you still consider to be "you," and not a result of environmental and social interference? If lifespans were medically increased, would 500-year-old you be remotely similar to 30-year-old you, and would it really matter to ultimately-dead you? Is there any comfort to imagining that the parts of you may disperse and eventually become parts of new beings, or that so many have died before you without much apparent issue?
On another note, American health care is stupidly expensive.

Been under three times, and it defies subjective description. How do you describe being unaware of self or the passage of time, when whatever inkling you may have gotten of it is probably lesser form of it as a combination of the periods of going under and recovery, with no recollection of what happened in between.Cybargs wrote:

IMO, your consciousness is just your sponge brain processing stimuli. You can't transfer it to a computer and unless magic exist, you can't transfer it to another person. And I'm not spiritual or religious so knowing various atoms of me make it into other beings doesn't help me since we don't have souls.
Given that cells in your body die and are replaced all the time, what do you think about the prospect that you've already been "moved" from one body to another?
Also, what do souls or being spiritual/religious have to do with your scattered atoms going on to be something (anything) else?

Because spiritual people look at such things as their essence, soul, spirit, etc. living on through other things. I couldn't care less about what happens to my body after I die. I want to experience thoughts.
I need to start smoking marijuana again.

Some do, but that's not the point I was driving at.
More food for thought is that you could break down what time you have into infinitely small units and call it forever.

I want a healthier body on the next turn. DID YOU HEAR THAT MATRIX UPKEEPERS!!?? This psychological test with a crappy skeleton is not hilarious. FU!

RIP in piece Fred Thompson.
I wonder if he paid off his reverse mortgage. Fraudster.

Rip Trap. Chasing nurses in heaven now
Was so dedicated to ignoring all media on my week's holiday that I missed the news Lemmy had carked it. 70's not bad considering his lifestyle, not to mention the thing that was eating his face.

And I was waiting for another groovy collaboration with Trent Reznor again since he activated with the new album last year. Well I guess I can stop waiting for that then. RIP David and thanks for being weird and doing your own thing.
