What comes after death Veeky Forums?

I, personally, believe it's the same thing prior to birth.

I like to think of human beings as a twirling dandelion in the wind that sails for a bit and then comes back down.

You wake up and it turns out you're living in a dyson sphere orbiting a black hole. You're entire life was nothing more than an hour of play.

The skeptical part of my brain says what you said but the part that likes consciousness says there's something more to it. But then where does everybody else's conscious go and if we lack the physical means to communicate (mouth eyes etc) then would we just exist forever alone? That sounds terrifying. But the conscious mind cannot experience nonexistence; that's a fallacy. Maybe your conscious just loops itself forever or something. The patrician answer is to wake up frozen people and interview them, as only they would have been physically dead long enough to settle that question once and for all (at least until people in Christianity argue that they were revived before the end times and thus would not have experienced the resurrection yet.)

Which is why cryonics and life extension are good memes. We get an answer and a (slight) workaround if the results are unfavorable.

I don't believe logical fallacies can be put on death.

The conscious mind stops being conscious. It stops being a mind entirely.

I don't know why people over-complicate it.

We're not different from trees or rocks, etc.

I like to look at the mentally retarded to understand how fragile brains really are.

What's retarded about either of those ideas? Neither advocates an afterlife; they just posit that the mind doesn't progress without the body. Unless that's retarded?

I didn't say any idea in this thread was stupid.
If you look at the retarded in real life, you can see how our brains comprise all that we are.

One faulty wiring and you're drooling. It's the closest thing to death we can observe in daily life.

This is why I believe the most obvious answer is the right answer.

It's obvious someday we'll no longer exist.

It's brain failure in motion.

You need to see how a retarded man twists a valve.

After I die I'll find out.

There won't be a you.
