But you won’t be aware of the ice cream stopping. Only that it’s going to stop. But you won’t experience that stoppage. You’ll never lack for ice cream. You’ll only ever experience ice cream.

Before your first taste of ice cream you had none. Now that ice cream is permabanned and you’ll never have it again why you so upset?

Completely different situation. You’d still remember that ice cream existed. When you die your ability to remember will be gone.

And that is what is scary. The oblivion

But you won’t be conscious to experience it. You won’t be aware of it when it happens, so why are you afraid?

I don’t see why we are so special, that we actually permadie. If nothing is permanent, neither is death.
I believe we just get recycled into whatever creature comes next, so does the universe.
Except I’m not a buddist, so I think it is forever. And that we have been around and experienced forever already, and that most of our lives will be grueling, as you need many creatures to suffer and die to maintain a happy few.

Interesting. I personally don’t believe in reincarnation, but I really like the concept. It would be super cool if it was proven to be true.

What is cool about having no memories carried over, and living most often as an almost mindless, low-tier creature that starves and is eaten?
