Death is probably permanent with no afterlife

[Brickjectivity]

Imagine evolution the harsh process in which it takes place. Survival of the fittest including predators, wars, plagues, natural disasters. Many did not survive and are as a result not here. So imagine what sequence of events took place to bring you here. It's awing in its own sense. There is also so much more. There are already theories of what happened before the Big Bang. Carbon nano-tubing, so much to learn. But you may even know about this better than I.

Don't forget recent developments in neural networks and brain simulators. I like to think we can make some AI that will be durable enough to survive long journeys through space and to replicate itself, to start up lots of life (biological and/or mechanical) all over our galaxy or even beyond it. Let all of those deaths be honored by making everything alive.

Yeah, death is probably permanent for the individual. Even if there was some part that lived on after life, it wouldn't really be the original person without their mind and body. It would just be a shade, like leftover residue.

I believe knowing and accepting that we're going to die and directing natural fear towards positive action is one major step towards forming a more rational society.

Hey, we could be wrong, Dog. We do not know what we are made of or how reality is or came to be. Once again it brings me back to that poem Tyger Tyger. What a great poem!

.....In what distant deeps or skies burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire? What the hand, dare seize the fire?
And what shoulder, & what art, Could twist the sinews of thy heart?.....
What the hammer? What the chain? In what furnace was thy brain?....

The body might age but isn't the spirit eternally youthful?.....Isn't life really all about discovery anyway?? How much time and effort is used to focus on things that really mean very little? Perhaps, it is time for us all to really look at ourselves. We are the ones who choose.

A person has many hats to wear, don't they? We have to see death coming and live at the same time. Its like getting up in the morning all the time knowing you're going back to bed after work. The coffee is the same, but the breakfast is what you make of it.
