>which one are you?

Here’s a detailed description of the **Always-enders**, **Some-enders**, and **Never-enders**, elaborating on their philosophies, motivations, and potential beliefs:

---

### **Always-enders**
**Philosophy**:
The Always-enders believe in the necessity and inevitability of an ultimate end to everything. Their worldview centers around the idea that all things, no matter how meaningful or enduring, must conclude. They see this as a form of release, completion, and perhaps even liberation from the cycles of existence.

**Core Beliefs**:
- Everything must eventually cease to exist—matter, consciousness, time, and even the universe itself.
- Endings bring closure, peace, and freedom from suffering, entropy, or stagnation.
- The purpose of life or existence may be to contribute to the eventual dissolution of all things.
- Eternity is viewed as a burden or trap that diminishes meaning.

**Motivations**:
- Desire for resolution: They find solace in the idea that all struggles, joys, and uncertainties will ultimately fade.
- A belief in the beauty of transience: Things are meaningful because they are temporary.
- Philosophical alignment with entropy: They see the universe’s natural tendency toward decay as a sign of truth and destiny.

**Symbolism**:
- A fading flame, symbolizing the beauty and inevitability of extinguishment.
- A clock with no hands, representing timelessness after the final end.

### **Some-enders**
**Philosophy**:
The Some-enders embrace selective endings and continuities. They believe that while certain things should conclude to allow growth, renewal, or peace, others should persist indefinitely. Their philosophy is grounded in adaptability and pragmatism, valuing both permanence and impermanence where appropriate.

**Core Beliefs**:
- Endings are necessary for some things but not for all; they enable transformation and evolution.
- Continuity and finality are tools to shape existence meaningfully.
- Balance is essential: neither clinging to everything nor discarding it all is the ideal path.
- Preservation of what is valuable or irreplaceable, alongside the graceful letting go of what has served its purpose.

**Motivations**:
- Desire for renewal: They see endings as a way to make space for new beginnings.
- Commitment to preservation: Some aspects of existence are deemed too precious to lose.
- Flexibility in approach: They adapt their philosophy to the context of each situation, advocating for the most meaningful path.

**Symbolism**:
- A tree shedding its leaves in autumn, symbolizing the cyclical nature of endings and beginnings.
- A mosaic, representing the coexistence of broken pieces and enduring beauty.

### **Never-enders**
**Philosophy**:
The Never-enders are staunch advocates of eternal existence and infinite continuity. They believe that the essence of life, consciousness, and the universe should persist without end. To them, infinity is not a burden but the ultimate opportunity to explore, create, and transcend.

**Core Beliefs**:
- Existence is inherently valuable, and there is no need for it to end.
- Eternity allows limitless exploration, growth, and the realization of potential.
- Endings are seen as losses of possibility, not as necessary or meaningful.
- The universe is infinite in scope, and so should the experience of consciousness be.

**Motivations**:
- Fear of loss: They seek to preserve all that is meaningful, never allowing it to disappear.
- Hope for infinite potential: Eternity offers endless opportunities to learn, love, and create.
- Rebellion against entropy: They aim to overcome decay, death, and limitations through innovation or spiritual transcendence.

**Symbolism**:
- A circle, representing continuity without beginning or end.
- A starfield, symbolizing infinite possibilities and vast expanses of existence.

---

### **Comparative Highlights**
- **Always-enders**: Cherish the peace and finality of endings, seeing them as necessary and inevitable.
- **Some-enders**: Balance endings and continuities, allowing each to serve its purpose in shaping existence.
- **Never-enders**: Advocate for eternal existence, rejecting the concept of endings as unnecessary and tragic.

Each group reflects a distinct approach to existence, purpose, and the nature of reality. Let me know if you’d like to explore their potential interactions or refine their descriptions further!

This is actually a decent beginning to a philosophy for yourself. To maybe help you expand your thoughts I’d understand it as what do they think the final shape of existence is. As you said some will want nothingness to dominate (usually with themselves at the center of it), some will seek to become a “benevolent” god (which will end in the same nothingness with themselves at the center), some will choose to seek sublimation while others might seek detachment from the physical laws and some will seek novel growth alongside god.

If you are genuinely interested in the religions of the future, look at all the possible ways our cosmology could be eternal or have an end and then think of all the multitude of cults that could be developed from any single cosmology. You should notice some core axioms between them and some things that will cause problems even between different interpretations of the same cosmology. Once you’re done you should pretty much have a catalog of religions that already pretty much exist.

The real question is, is our universe cyclical because a new bang happens at “heat death” or is consciousness the mechanism that starts a new big bang in a novel cyclical cosmology or are we meant for a physical end in this limited shape? The ones working to cause the next bang will be at war with the ones who say the act of trying to force it will cause the cessation of everything while the ones who think it’s inevitable will laugh at both
