dreamgauze: Is There An After Life

dreamgauze 04.07.17	Dis Cuss
Trebor. 04.07.17	what if our reality is the after life? And it's just finite like whatever the first existence was? huge if true; really makes you think
Conmaniac 04.07.17	yeah i don't wanna discuss this nope
ZippaThaRippa 04.07.17	Go find out and report back
JeetJeet 04.07.17	Watch The Discovery on Netflix.
DatsNotDaMetulz 04.07.17	Who really cares? We're all going to die and whatever happens after that is anyone's case. If you knew what it was and you didn't like it, there's still no avoiding it. Nothing we do now will affect what happens when we die, just how fast we die.
hasan 04.07.17	i do think about this thing from time to time but i think if you are a good person and do nice things for other people.....you will be safe in the new place, god bless
Trebor. 04.07.17	papa bless
dreamgauze 04.07.17	Ok But Is There An After Death
hasan 04.07.17	i love everyone no matter what and try to do nice things
dreamgauze 04.07.17	hasan are you bein facetious or not because if you're not i'd like to try to agree
hasan 04.07.17	what
dreamgauze 04.07.17	are you being genuine or r u fucking around
hasan 04.07.17	i am not making a joke.. if that is what you mean??? it is good to treat people well
dreamgauze 04.07.17	it sounded nice but I can't distinguish sincerity / irony thru text, I agree 100 tho
ZippaThaRippa 04.07.17	Checked him out, he's a gentle soul confirmed
hasan 04.07.17	bless you all
dreamgauze 04.07.17	this list obviously was a joke but if I rlly think about it, I do often get death anxiety, usually b4 falling asleep/ I grew up catholic but now I kinda fall under theist/agnostic and as much as I believe there's something beyond the physical, actual world, the belief of an afterlife just comes across as conceived to deal with those type of anxiety problems, if yall get what I mean
Dewinged 04.07.17	oh well, we'll know when we die isn't it?
Crymsonblaze 04.07.17	probably not
FlipTrackz 04.07.17	Believer or not, just be good to people. Don't be a dickweed.
Dedes 04.07.17	It's really not worth the time to dwell on because you won't know until you're actually dead. Until then just have a fun time and make peoples lives better and if there's a pearly gates you'll get in and if there is nothing you've spent your time well on earth.
dreamgauze 04.07.17	so what does that have to do with the thing
hal1ax 04.07.17	do u believe in life after love
dreamgauze 04.07.17	i believe in death after love
hal1ax 04.07.17	my neurons
dreamgauze 04.07.17	Oh Yeah you fuk with neurons? Name five of their albums 😤😤
Crymsonblaze 04.07.17	> It's really not worth the time to dwell on because you won't know until you're actually dead basically this. easier said than done, but try to do this. distract yourself with life in any way possible basically
Dedes 04.07.17	To Pimp a Butterfly, The Hotelier, Blacker Sabboth, The Nickleback album, Cher. Hah 5 right there.
Spacesh1p 04.07.17	neurons firing, feels bad
dreamgauze 04.07.17	fuck that's a lot of neurons
Crymsonblaze 04.07.17	get em out
Dedes 04.07.17	I'm loaded with at least 7 more
kongoz 04.07.17	nigus
dbizzles 04.07.17	'Ok But Is There An After Death' fucking lol getting deep here.
EphemeralEternity 04.07.17	I hope not
zaruyache 04.07.17	sach and snide are two users guaranteed to generate >30 comments no matter what they post.
Demon of the Fall 04.07.17	My first thought is no, but I'm not actually sure why I think that. Dismissing ideas outside of one's own experiences is very narrow minded & I realise that but it's just so difficult to believe. Also, what the actual f*** is that album & what's with the ridiculous album title? Haha
tempest-- 04.07.17	For there to be an afterlife there must first be a life Too bad we're posting on sputnikmusic.com
MeatSalad 04.07.17	my biggest fear by far is death because i'm 100% convinced there's absolutely nothing after we die, we simply cease to exist and there's nothing i've found that disputes it wbu
EphemeralEternity 04.07.17	what if this life is but a mirror to a universe where parking tickets don't exist
EphemeralEternity 04.07.17	@meat uh that prospect is extremely comforting idk why you're frightened by it
MeatSalad 04.07.17	If I get the opportunity to upload my consciousness and replace all of my organs with cyborg parts I'm doing it
Dedes 04.07.17	Fuck what's that movie where this whole family drinks from a spring and become immortal but they end up despising it when all there loved ones are dying?
Demon of the Fall 04.07.17	Death is scary, the fact it's impossible to comprehend a world where I don't exist is frightening. You can't actually comprehend it though, I can imagine the world going on (I'm not that arrogant) but you won't be experiencing anything because you have no consciousness, nothingness forever more. This thought used to depress me greatly when I was younger, it's not being able to make sense out of it that bothered me the most. Trying to imagine an absence of consciousness is terrifying!
MeatSalad 04.07.17	That's precisely what ends up scaring me yeah, the complete inability to comprehend not existing. I think it's something the human brain can't really process
Dedes 04.07.17	Again, that's the reason it's better to let yourself succumb to it. Live happy and free because time wasted thinking about death is time not being happy.
EphemeralEternity 04.07.17	But you'll never actually have to experience nothingness (presuming that's what death is) so I don't understand the fear or the point of ruminating on it. Of course leaving loved ones behind and never knowing how things turn out is not ideal but immortality would eventually become torture imo
NastyCrab 04.07.17	yeah probably not an afterlife but I guess no one can say for certain. If death bums you out you gotta get busy living. Just try to push yourself out of your comfort zone more often.
Dedes 04.07.17	If you want to believe in afterlife then go for it. Whatever comforts you, ya know?
Demon of the Fall 04.07.17	Agreed MeatSalad. kingded - I know in theory you can't experience nothingness but not being able to imagine it is still a disconcerting thought. Fear of the unknown plays a part here. I spent far too much time contemplating my own existence, so depressing... pleased it's not something I usually dwell on now.
MeatSalad 04.07.17	Entirely agreed king, it's not the type of thing I actively try to think about since nothing good comes of it outside of interesting conversation
EphemeralEternity 04.07.17	I guess that's why organized belief systems which more/less answer this question have been ubiquitous since the dawn of man
Brewtality91 04.07.17	"Who really cares? We're all going to die and whatever happens after that is anyone's case. If you knew what it was and you didn't like it, there's still no avoiding it. Nothing we do now will affect what happens when we die, just how fast we die." Nice. Also, I'm surprised this thread hasn't turned angry. That's a plus. If you've ever fainted/passed out from low blood pressure then you know that dark feeling of losing consciousness. I feel like dying is exactly that, and then blackness. FOREVER
Dedes 04.07.17	BREWTAL
Demon of the Fall 04.07.17	Has anyone ever experienced Sleep Paralysis? Very scary the first time it happens. Anyway, I imagine that to be what it's like dying & then be lifted up to heaven, if such a thing exists. The part where you feel a bit "float-y" & still in a dream like state but can't physically move. Strange.
Dedes 04.07.17	Yeah I had that once. Imo if dying is like constant sleep paralysis I'm going with the cyborg idea lol
EphemeralEternity 04.07.17	SP is fucked every time it happens no matter how prepared you believe you are and the fact that I won't ever have to experience it again is one of the reasons why I find the thought of death comforting lol
guitarded_chuck 04.07.17	there is life after you, you just no longer exist in that physical realm
dreamgauze 04.07.17	Is that a religious belief chuck?
EphemeralEternity 04.07.17	we honestly can't actually know that for certain
guitarded_chuck 04.07.17	i know, im definitely agnostic, its the only logical answer, that being we have no logical answer, but suddenly entering back into the void we "resided" in during all of time leading up to our conception seems highly likely im hoping to happen upon some magical tropical island full of perfect women feeding me grapes and wine daily roman emperor style though, fingers crossed
EphemeralEternity 04.07.17	you'd get jaded with that eventually too -- plus that shit exists in this lifetime if you've got the $ . Incidentally I just invested 5 grand in medicinal marijuana stock so I'm hopping it blows up and I am one day living that lifestyle
guitarded_chuck 04.07.17	yeah exactly. everything would become boring at some point i think. infinity is a long time. no way one could stay sane. death is perhaps nature's best gift to life. i'm seriously considering entering into the marijuana cultivation industry once legalization passes here in canada. waiting to see how things shake out.
Relinquished 04.07.17	the sooner the better dudes, cuz I can tell you there's plenty of money to stuff your pockets from it. learn the science, get the contacts, and hustle hustle hustle
Brewtality91 04.07.17	"tropical island full of perfect women" I have a hard time imagining that would get boring
EphemeralEternity 04.07.17	well if you guys know the business I know the chemistry
Relinquished 04.07.17	the chemistry is the easy part man
Relinquished 04.07.17	you won't get a big slice of that money pie with just chemistry, unless you throw a jar of acid to someone's face and rob their weed money.
EphemeralEternity 04.07.17	if it's literally an untouched island with no shelter or amenities and contagions that will make you violently ill without actually killing u that would get shitty after a while even with all the hoes
EphemeralEternity 04.07.17	ye not really as much chemistry involved with growing weed is there
Relinquished 04.07.17	I thought you said you "know the chemistry" lol BUSTED
guitarded_chuck 04.07.17	are you american relinq im thinking of holding off until legislation settled out here and see which of the successful American companies involved in things like edibles and other things not direct cultivation are planning to expand into Canada and invest in them
Relinquished 04.07.17	been living life for the most part as American, living above Stockholm for the past half-decade, but I'm up-to-date with what's going on around the West concerning the green (gotta know the world for my baby, feel me?). I know Canada set a date for legalisation and that's more progress than the States. once the US gets past all the bs beyond legislation that's when that same progress will arrive.
Crymsonblaze 04.07.17	i'm much more afraid of the process of dying than actually being dead and not existing.
Relinquished 04.07.17	fr, I hope to go out in style
EphemeralEternity 04.07.17	hopefully euthanasia legal by the time we go. honestly at this rate who knows what the world will look like in 60 years time, could be a radioactive wasteland
Crymsonblaze 04.07.17	yeah that's kind of best case scenario. peaceful, you can plan it in case you get an awful disease, etc.
guitarded_chuck 04.07.17	its legal here in canada as of a year or so ago legit probably the most important historical moment ill ever live through because it immediately took away a ton of the anxiety i had about dying
EphemeralEternity 04.07.17	i didn't even know that. It seems inhumane to prohibit it (provided there are very stringent guidelines about how and when its administered and shit of course)
Dedes 04.08.17	As much as I think someone should fight against death as much as they can, euthanasia should be an option if you're terminally ill, simply because a person should be able to choose their own fate regardless of whether or not you agree with it. Of course there should be massive regulations because idk if you guys ever heard about this doctor in Serbia but she gave euthanasia to people who were still undecided and I mean like a HUNDRED of people. There should be very strict watch over how the euthanasia is administered and by who but yeah it should be legal still.
ZippaThaRippa 04.08.17	Kill yourself
Typhoon24 04.08.17	Life after death seems extremely unlikely. At least for typhoon24/beerus. Who knows I might come back as a bad ass alien spy on a random galaxy with no memory of my previous life. That's wishful thinking territory but that would be cool af
Dedes 04.08.17	"Kill yourself" Why
Typhoon24 04.08.17	euthanasia is cool because death is inevitable and it gives people a chance to die perhaps on their own terms (not when their suffering at the peak of their agony or in their sleep) so I'm cool with the idea of suicide....it's just that worry of "could I still lived a happy life?" that would keep me from it if it ever came to it
EphemeralEternity 04.08.17	'that would be cool af' it could just as easily be quite uncool tbf
sixdegrees 12.14.17	interesting thought
zakalwe 12.14.17	Live as full a life as possible with the one you’ve got, embrace it. Look at the stars, smell the flowers, love those that love you, bludgeon a granny over the head and nick her purse to buy skag.
NastyCrab 12.14.17	Probably not.
Papa Universe 12.14.17	I don't know, but I'm fairly certain I currently live in a purgatory.
guitarded_chuck 12.14.17	no way of knowing, no reason to waste energy and stress trying to figure it out more importantly, there is no reason to be concerned either way did you mind not being alive before you were born?
alienobserver 12.14.17	no but thats only because i hadnt experienced life
alienobserver 12.14.17	i believed in nothingness but whenever someone or something close to me dies i tell them and myself that im gonna see them again. i dont know if i actually believe in it but it really helps for me
NastyCrab 12.14.17	I always imagined people developed the idea of an afterlife because it's impossible to understand what non-existence is like. But it's also pretty difficult to imagine being alive for eternity, which a lot of religious people tend to gloss over when they talk about "heaven" or a similar idea.
DoofusWainwright 12.14.17	One day this website will cease to exist, quite sad to think. There'll always be more humans (for a while anyway) but there's only one true Sputnik. Hope this put things in perspective, helped y'all to heal.
guitarded_chuck 12.14.17	"I always imagined people developed the idea of an afterlife because it's impossible to understand what non-existence is like." it's not though think of before birth or even just think of all the moments you have forgotten (the vast majority of time you've been alive)
DoofusWainwright 12.14.17	'being alive for eternity, which a lot of religious people tend to gloss over when they talk about "heaven" or a similar idea' I think the idea is 'time' wouldn't exist/wouldn't be experienced in the same way in a 'religious' afterlife. I mean you'd transcend from thinking about what Dominos topping is your favourite and which Karashian you'd hump on this higher plain, because an eternity of that (thinking as a human) would indeed be hell. We couldn't be the way we are for eternity, you'd have to fundamentally change into some other form of consciousness in that scenario. Sorry to burst bubbles. That's why this 'cyborg eternity' thing sounds awful, because once you stop needing to eat pizza and fuck you stop being human. You need that stuff or you might as well not exist, because otherwise there's nowt necessary about you continuing. There'll be nothing 'intellectually unique' about you worth persevering for.
