Does anyone else for some reasons constantly run thought experiments 24/7 in brain? Everytime my attention is free to wander, my mind immediately just goes to thinking about extremely improbable scenarios or possibilities.
>>83083314well spill the beans. what kind of scenarios
oh god why do i always have to fucking forget words midsentence
>>83083335well for examples, today i was thinking about what would happen if everyone in the world became me, whether society could still function. I was also thinking about what if consciousness was an innate property of matter, and when I die, would my atoms become part of the mass consciousness of the Universe, a form of consciousness completely unrecognizable by human standards. Would it be like dreaming? Would it feel emotions, have a will? Perhaps it's eternal torment. I don't sleep well at night.
>>83083314>thought experimentsnot really, but i do go into metaphysics a lotand i go into existential crises a lot as a side effect of that>>83083376>what if consciousness was an innate property of matter, and when I die, would my atoms become part of the mass consciousness of the Universe, a form of consciousness completely unrecognizable by human standardsif we go by Epicurus, the soul is just particles and atoms, and if you expand more on that then the particles and atoms will one day "re-join" the universe the moment our body withers
>>83083314Yes>>83083376For me it's oftentimes thinking about what if when people die, they still feel but just cant communicate it in any way? Can't talk, blink, breathe, nothing. They just lay there and feel the maggots slowly consume their body. The only true nonexistence for them begins when the last litte bits of their body wither away. Only hypothetically of course, I mean that would be a lot like hell. Surely that 2000 year old book wasn't warning us about this when it talked about eternal suffering, right?
>>83083376>Would returning to the universe feel like dreaming?The opposite methinksWhen we dream, our neurons come together in just the right way to perceive nonsense to our sleeping brain. Likewise, this moment that we exist as humans is a phenomenon that's come together in just the right way to perceive nonsense to our sleeping universal consciousness.I'm bullshitting of course but it sounds kewl
I torture myself mentally with bad fantasies...and somehow can't stop.
