What is the most horrifying philosophical concept or theory to you? For me, it's Parmenides.
The lines of time are just a dimension. Our existence is like a roll of film. Our beginning from start to finish is being recorded as we live. However when the recording is done our existence will remain for eternity. We live in one never ending moment and our perception of time is just a perception. Everything is completed and frozen in a changeless and eternal state. We are both already dead and never dead at the same time.

We just had this thread you dumb mongrel. You're worrying about nothing.
Isaac Gray
The mountains are actually giant trees theory fucked me up. Also the fact that JK rowling never wrote Harry Potter gave my schizophrenia

Think about it this way: everybody that has ever lived or will ever live is now in the afterlife, including you, watching your life or at least just percieving it
Why don't you make that perception awesome and turn your own life into a work of art?
Evan Phillips
there is no afterlife. Present life is everything we have
Nathaniel Sullivan
>Rowling neve wrote Potter Cant find anything coherent about this
Alexander Lee
There's a lot of theories that HP was a well-crafted corporate project to get tons of dosh and Rowling was just a face to put it on. I don't know why this would horrify someone though.

Not a reason not to rurn your own life into a work of art
Henry Mitchell
I mean that is plausable and I guess a lot of modern-day types only love it so much 'cause it's got a womans name on it, so hell, maybe its true
Robert Morgan
you cant have art without observer, and everyone will forget you after you die
Jayden Butler
Not if enough people go with you desu.
Luke Davis
stop lying to yourself, you are sub-108iq braintlet, better end your farce of life already
Owen Lewis
Haha, it's funny how insecure you are.

Colton Hill
This reminds me of a thought I had. What if when you die, you are reborn again as the same person and re live the same life over and over exactly the same?
Asher Perez
You can always be your own observer
Grayson Sanders

Joseph Gonzalez
Idk, when you were the king of carrot flowers?
Isaac Ross
Yeah and what then? Nothing would change and thus you wouldn't know any better. Still, it'd be a slight comfort. Being stuck in eternity> being dead. Maybe you could even hope for errors or changes aftet enough cycles to effect a lasting chance or some sort of salvation. But who's to say it's 'you' you even in the first repetition?
Dominic Jones
Eternal Return seems sort of sensible but it's also incredibly wonky to me. Like second user said assuming we all repeat then we wouldn't remember anyways, and are unlikely too eventually all remember because we would have to have gone through an infinity of repeats and so why should an infinity more change that? And I was reading Borges once who said something like the idea that there is a limited number of variations to an eternal cycle and so we are destined to repeat this exact life is wrong because mathematically every particular is indivisibly small in it's degrees and infinite in its possible number of such things, let alone the possibilities of all things in relation to other things. So we would be living existence never the same except perhaps in an abstract astral sense of the self (which imo such occultic shit could possibly resolve every problem in this post and here in general).
Henry Adams
The idea that history is going nowhere really shook me a few years ago. I've adjusted to it.
It is still extraordinary to me how many everyday people subscribe to some version of the progress narrative .
I believe one's position on the progress narrative (especially if they decide it's a bunch of hoopla) is a more serious indicator of one's beliefs than, for example, if one professes faith in God or not.
Lucas Hughes
That's just plain dumb
Gavin Gomez
what when someday earth and even whole universe will die? We will not have "place" to live our next live
Kayden Bennett
I don't know. Under eternal return of course nothing really dies. If that were to happen then I guess there is simply nothing and eternal return is a bunch of shit.
Cameron Powell
Its real, its just imperceptible. If you know about it then you always will and if you don't, you don't.
Joshua Collins
That's what I've been coming to figure, and I don't give in too much to the fears of it since I'm beginning to see this circle as having the potential of a spiral.
Hunter Lopez
I'm not the OP of this thread, someone else copy pasted it from the archive. Anyway to answer the question I find Baudrillard's philosophy of history quite horrifying as well.
Connor Bennett
There's no K in her middle name. Going by J.K. was a suggestion by her editor because they were afraid no one would to read a book by a woman.
Cooper Peterson
The descriptions not the theory's on the bottom are too vague. Very interesting though. thenSimpsons Is real theory really activates my almonds
Christopher Carter
That there are beings in a timeless dimension that communicate with images rather than words Everytime they speak a new world is created and disappears inside of the world however time passes and beings suffer.
Mason Sanchez
Does the doomsday argument count? Am i a brainlet for believing it?
Aaron Bell
what if there's a magical robot in the future that can bring you back to life after you die and torture you forever if you don't dedicate your life to helping make it exist?
Ryan Miller
If you don't help to make it exist, how does it torture you?
Lincoln Garcia
Why I puld it care , if odds are it had to have exists either way
