Comment on You'll never see it coming
threeduck@aussie.zone 1 month agoYou know how when you get put under for anaesthesia, and you don’t notice the time you were gone? It’s like a cut in the tape of life.
What if death is like that, and BAM your consciousness re-emerges billions of years in the future the moment you die.
But your consciousness is alone. And in pitch black nothingness. Forever.
This is what I think happens. You don’t experience death, you just reemerge on the other side, no matter how long it takes.
The chances of your brain going were infinitely small (and who knows how many universes) before you were born, but it still only took 14 billion years for it to happen.

Entropy would end up taking your consciousness as well, so I doubt you’d be there, 14.3 billions years later, forever.

We don’t really know what consciousness is, so we can’t really be sure that it is subject to entropy.

We have nothing to indicate anything to the contrary (other than denial)

Also true!
