Yes. Even if it was something horrible, something to fear for the rest of my life, I'd prefer knowing instead of what I currently do: agonising over 'what if' at 4am most mornings.

Hmm I didn't realise people did the 4am thing. You're an atheist, right? I wonder if people with faith don't have the 4am thing?

I'd say a strange mix between Agnostic/Catholic trappings. I'm the only one in my staunchly Catholic family who has this, so... maybe.

why think about it at all? there is a saying, its not about the destination its about the journey.

i think physics is far more interesting to dwell on than theology. To think about loads of different Penny's who may be out there living when i kick the bucket, so in some ways i never die. My energy is absorbed by my other selfs.

Honestly, it's the idea of all that I've learned and all those things I have loved just... ending. Just going into oblivion. And what if I'm worrying about that, saddened by that, and there is a form of consciousness? I don't mean Heaven... I mean, just continuing without a body. WHAT THEN OMG D:

It's terrifying and obsesses me, ngl.

We need to discuss this over wine. :D

lol. i really wouldnt worry. if there are trillions of trapped consciousness out there, alien, human and animal surely they can interact in some way.

they say the universe is like a hologram and nothing is lost. somewhere in time, those things you loved and learned are still there.

I agree. Uncertainty is the worst thing... it's hard to come to terms with something when you don't know what it actually is.
