    Y’know… considering the fact that human consciousness is, as far as we can tell, essentially a very specific configuration of energy, that means that it’ll inevitably be reintegrated into the system once Lady Death pays us a visit.

    Conservation of Energy then pretty much ensures that some form of reincarnation is inevitable, to my mind.

    My real question is, how much consciousness persists throughout the process of recycling that energy? Because, to me, the Universe as a system is anything but wasteful, and memories in particular are highly refined ‘goods.’

    As a side note, this is also why I simply can’t picture the entirety of existence as anything other than alive in itself.

      Nah, we go to heaven and I refuse to stress about any other kind of permanence.

      Shit’s scary as all fucks combined otherwise.

        Can’t argue with that, the concept of Reincarnation is my biggest nightmare. I’d rather do zombie outbreak than that one…
