You know. This oddly actually makes me feel a bit better about this.
Fear not, and enjoy this mere interlude to its fullest!

The key is to accept that the end of consciousness is a feature of existence, and not a bug.

We live and we die, but we don’t start or stop existing. Everything that is us is still here. And in time, what was us becomes something new and different.
The miracle of life is a rare and magical opportunity for a bit of ourselves to direct our own future. And, I believe, the horror of death is in that return to idleness and loss of control. We don’t want to return to the sidelines. We want to keep playing the game.

what i’m scared of is not getting to experience things, the fact that i missed out on history isn’t much better but at least that was rather difficult to do anything about…

Living in recent times, there’s a lot of historic events happening I’d rather not be around for. Just wait until the climate collapse stops playing around with foreshadowing and the dildo of consequences arrives
essell@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Because now I know what I’d be missing.
Times like that, we experience it in one direction only

This is a very deep and true post for a shitpost. It’s basically when you go to sleep and don’t dream, but you don’t wake up. It’s just a black void of nothingness.

So like the universe is expanding and shit in every direction. Eventually the universe will hit its maximum point of expanse and start shrinking in every direction until it has shrunk down to its point of maximum density. Then boom a big bang and the universe starts again. We’ll be back eventually. Maybe not in this universe or the next but eventually over the course of forever we’ll be back.

But would a rearrangement of our atoms into identical beings be the same person as us? Maybe it would be just different consciousnesses having the same experiences, and we would never be back.

i think the theory is that at some point it would be exactly the same
but i think this is not like backed up by anything really, and mostly a thought experiment.

My current self wants to look at more cute bees and sniff more sunflowers. It doesn’t matter if my future self wouldn’t care (on account of not existing), my current self still really wants to do more of that.

Hey, remember when Hitler invaded Poland?
Hey, remember when Trump invaded Greenland? Oh. Right. That’s called foreshadowing.

I used to think I didn’t dream, eventually I realized that the blissful nothingness I (don’t) experience between sleeping and waking up was the dream.
DarkCloud@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Keep a dream journal, eventually you’ll start remembering them.
ChonkyLincoln@lemmy.zip 1 day ago
Oh boy, sleep! That’s where I’m a Viking!
Grostleton@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 day ago
Ah, I don’t believe it’s a case of not remembering.
Many nights I simply do not dream of anything at all, or at least when I wake up I have absolutely no recollection of dreaming about something.
I do also have dreams that fade after awhile as you’d expect, and have occasionally written down things I found interesting about them, but overall my dreams are an infrequent occurrence.

They will surely release any day now.

Tbf nobody has ever experienced either because experience is exclusive to being alive and conscious

If you had an experience at all then you weren’t dead
