From where I’m sitting, it looks like death should not be the end in that case.

You can’t perceive the passage of time when you are dead, so you’re just going to experience dying and then immediate rebirth after the countless eons pass for that rare moment where entropy spontaneously reverses to form your mind again.

    I don’t know what consciousness is, but I can be sure mine exists, and yours too probably.

    But it seems pretty inherently mystical to me considering we can’t even scratch the surface of researching the how and why we have qualia and subjective experience seemingly disconnected from material reality.

    Idk, I took an edible and wanted to poke Hexbear with the idea, it’s a fun time!

      I’m saying that’s fine, if you want to explain the unknown with mysticism who am I to say otherwise.

      I’m just saying if you’re using mysticism to explain the unknown you don’t need science just by mystical. Either embracing a mystical tradition that believes in this sort of recurrence or creating one for yourself are both cooler than pseudoscience
