Comment on If there was an afterlife, how would it work?
dope@lemm.ee 7 months agoPhilip Jose Farmer explored this idea in a few of his stories.
In one there was an alien race. They thought it was tragic that people would die and be gone from the world forever. So they invented an artificial soul (called a “wathan”) hooked it up to all the sentient beings. Then they managed an artificial afterlife too.

The Frisbeetarian concept actually comes from a George Carlin joke, but I genuinely thought it was one of the most beautiful afterlife concepts I'd heard so I choose to believe it. That our souls are still here, but also at rest.
