It's exactly the same as before you were born.

Do you anything more to add to that or am I going to be left here scratching my head for .. a better answer

You either decay back in to dust or your government disposes of you in a fire.

Those that still live continue watch of the planet - carry the torch if you will.

do you remember what you were doing when you were 1 year old? no, well thats the same for death: you won't remembered you lived and died

i guess you just lose self reflection and also your qualia becomes smaller

I had a vivid dream of a plane crash where I had a bit of time to process that I was going to die, then died.
Blackness.
It was such a profound experience to me that to this day I fear it.
Blackness, but not black in terms of color I guess.
No sensation at all. I was unable to think. Unable to experience.
It's like, my brain was stuck on exactly zero, the cross on an XY graph, no ability to move, no concept of movement, nothing.
Really wish I was better with words, but it really isn't something I can truly share.

It wasn't terrifying because I couldn't be terrified. It didn't hurt because I couldn't feel pain. I couldn't see, hear or feel anything
I could not THINK.
I don't even know how long I was in that state. Felt like an eternity, but woke up eventually. No idea.
Man just thinking back on it feels like one of those panic like buildups when you think about your own nonexistence long enough.

Again this is just me assigning feelings to the experience after the fact. It was like suffocating even though you had no need to breathe or something.
Horrid, but in the moment, nothing.


TL;DR: Nothing I guess? But that nothing is torture of some very special kind. Indescribable.

On another note as a kid I was fairly sure I could talk to my dead grandma for a bit. So who really knows…
I hope it's not like my dream though.
In some ways, I'd prefer to have my cognition/self carry on without interruption even if it means something like burning in hell. I fear oblivion more.

You get tickled by worms and maggots.

Flatlined as a kid. Too young and soft to have even been mean to bugs.
It was like an absence of everything, a long blink between surrendering to death without getting what that meant until after.
But my parents didn't ever have to explain death to me. I just said 'But he's not anywhere' to my parents when they tried the dog farm upstate shit, apparently it was spooky. I just understood, after, that there's only here, and for us, only now.

After death there is either eternal unconsciousness or reincarnation into some other lifeform

We are bound to an endless cycle. It will never cease. With your final breath, as your eyes close for what you believe to be the last time, you will slip into a quiet oblivion. Incalculable eons will pass before the universe inevitably collapses upon itself, folding spacetime into a singular, suffocating crush of gravity. And then, a blinding cataclysm of light and matter will violently reignite the cosmos. The great cosmic ballet will reset and play out exactly as before. This very message will find you, echoing ad infinitum across the ages, until the exact moment you are reading these words, when you will open your eyes to experience it all for the "first" time. We are bound to an endless cycle. It will never cease.

yeah i know about the afterlife
after death you simultaneously gain and lose a lot of freedom
your soul which was free in a way in this life becomes trapped in a way after you die
like if you only did scummy stuff like ripping off people and bullying it's this stuff forever, no way to ever become a good person
good people become trapped too in a way, no more 'succumbing to temptation' and shit
at the same time you gain a lot of freedom, basically do what you want forever without the pains of the body and sickness and stuff, must be really comfy compared to the struggle of the living, within your alotted place for your soul which cannot change anymore in a certain way

You can't "not exist". Even if it takes billions of years for consciousness to form again after you die, it wont be "you".

"You" will just be inside a clump of cells called a body in an instant after you die. Somewhere else on the planet or in the universe.

If you snap back into this planet as a human, it all starts over roughly at age 2-3 when you first start forming permanent memories. Everything before that will be a distant haze.

I forgot I made this thread
