I remember the first time when I was a kid and went to a dentist. I got my baby teeth pulled without anesthesia. It hurts, ALOT. At the time I remembered thinking: But if I die, I have to do that again? Noooooo
Same thing with all the bullying in school, all the embarassing things that happen, all the homework/classwork, all the tests, everything.
IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN!
Think you got your worldview and political ideology correct? Well, you could become a bad person the next life.
(but hey, this is just a theory, a game theory an existential crisis theory)
(Sorry if this sounds so bizzare, I’m not high or anything, I just have anxiety and I have to get weird thoughts out of my head by posting it 🫠)
Don’t you get reborn in a different time period and body? Or is that The Egg ?
I love that one … you get reborn endlessly until you eventually live every single life in the universe.
You are essentially the only life in the universe. You are everything and everyone that ever lived.
What a profound awakening it would be if we/us/you suddenly realized this.
So… are you me in the future or in the past? Like… did I already lived that life or is that a life I have yet to live?
It’s a short story by Andy Weir.
