Personally, one thing I feel comfortable saying with certainty, Unless it's either a simulation or I've completely lost touch with whatever reality there is, a purely materialistic framework can't explain some phenomena I've directly experienced. OP, I personally don't believe you are your body, and encourage you to keep exploring this question as preparation for what you and nearly everyone fears. Confront the fear head on. |

"Unless you assume a God, the question of life’s purpose is meaningless, and like Laplace, ‘I have no need of that hypothesis.'” Now for some context... Who was Laplace? He was a physicist who, when asked by Napoleon Bonaparte... Quote:
Now, this post isn't to made to refute your belief system, dissuade you from it, or even get into a theological discussion in the Lounge. I have thoughts about other parts of your post but this isn't the forum for them thus they were not quoted. The only reason this post is being made is to highlight the importance of a full quote and context. Russell wasn't advocating the idea of intelligent creation by God in that statement nor was he acknowledging a deity at all. It wasn't an admission that life is meaningless without God. He was replying to a letter in a sharp and sarcastic manner in the same way that Laplace did to Napoleon. The fact he quoted Laplace makes that evident. |

Super strange this thread was created. I have been feeling down lately thinking about death etc. I am afraid to die. I also think things, like did I waste my time on earth, could I have done things better. Now I am seeing things pop up all the time about death and dying. I am not sure why I am dwelling on it now. It never really consumed my mind that much before, but as of recent it has.

crazy thing is 80 years after you die, there won't be anyone on earth that will remember you or anything you accomplished unless you are famous now.

Notorious made a comment to me in DC about finding “everlasting life” in having children, passing on your culture and ideas, etc. but it’s hard not to think about the little things that make you unique will largely be forgotten within just a generation or two of your death. |

Anyway, I think this applies
Mark Twain: I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it. also read Carl Jung
