    who knows.

    IMO I believe when you die your brain is flooded with the last of everything your body has to give. an evolutionary trait to survive as long as possible.

    and this last “flash” is what we consider the “afterlife”. probably lasts all of 10 seconds IRL but we know dreams like that can last lifetimes.

    all I can do is hope I’m right. being an atheist, the alternative is pretty bleak.

      It doesn’t have to be. Sure, you spend some of sleep dreaming, but most of it is just being unconscious. A nice, restful, relaxing, eternal sleep, little different from how you spend most of your nights.

      In my view, feom your perepective, the koment you lose consciousness, you get recycled into some other shitbeing instantly, and the ride never ends.

      This is why it’s important to be humane to all life, and make a good future.
