Is death even a real thing ?

[Tig]

Here goes nothing.
I hope death isn't real, that this all a played out fantasy, like some cosmic entities are watching TV, playing a video game or something similar.......

Just playing, I'm quite sure I'm crazy, my invisible Karate Monkey tells me so everyday !!!!

Question:
DEATH, real or not real ?

Comedy, drama, action, fiction, non fiction, serious, not serious.....
I'm looking at all answers, with a turn to the absurd and hypothetical.

The Karate Monkey and Niff, the stuffed seal is demanding I do this,
They are incorrigible.

Any takers to the question ?
Personally, I'm gonna CTB anyway, just making it interesting while im doing so.

Death is real in the sense when people die on earth, their dead forever. But no one truly knows what happens after death.
Even people who had died and were brought back to life don't go be a clear story on what happens after death, a lot of people have different stories.

If I could chose I'd just would like to be given for change to restart my own life with memories from before. That's be fun.

The more I think about death, the less real it seems

 

[Lost Magic]

I don't know for sure. I just hope that I never come back to this hellscape earth in any body vessel. Once is enough! I have learned all I need to know about people and society. i would rather die a meaningful death than to live a meaningless life.

Who knoweth if to die
Be but to live...
And that called life
By mortals
Be but death?

Euripides

Yes, it's real. At the end of the day, death is inevitable and we all have to die

 

[Forever Sleep]

I suppose we only know some things for definite. We have mortal bodies that age and eventually stop working and then they rot. Whatever controlled them is no longer a part of them. So, whatever death is- we know those elements about it are factual.

Also, given the billions of lives that have played out here, I feel like there would be more regular evidence showing up constantly if whatever controls our bodies- our soul, spirit, consciousness- whatever you want to call it lingered here. Wouldn't everyone be seeing ghosts and remembering past lives constantly?

Yes Death is real. my brain will die A brain can generate unending constant unbearable pain. . the horrible ability to suffer constant unbearable pain will also die forever so that is thing so good to me the death of unbearable pain. pain is really a billion times worse than i can imagine it or remember. as bad as i can imagine the worst pain could be the reality when immersed in the worst of the pain is really a billion times worse than that is the only way i can try to describe it. i don't have the words.

the human brain and memory is really weak .imo you can't really remember an experience or recreate it like how the pain felt at any moment you can only recall that it was bad but you can't recreate that exact feeling

that memory is nothing can be shown. try to remember any day of the last year 2023 , 2022 or the first half of this year. no one can go back to a date and remember or write what they did minute by minute.

some bs crap like eating a sandwich or watching some youtube video might seem enjoyable but imo that's not worth the worst pain that could happen any day. imo they are stupid meaningless addictions the pain is a billion times more intense than the stupid pleasure which is only bait

there is pain so bad it makes everything else meaningless.extreme unbearable pain is not subjective but the pleasurable addictions are by comparison

i watch all these people and me too risking extreme torture any day for no reason. imo the level of brainwashing is to the level of the matrix movie that no one talks about this extreme pain extreme suffering and how that is possible for anyone anyday.

the following is a comment on that youtube video i posted below :
"I just rewatched Speciesism: The Movie (2013) after a few years. There was an intense scene (16:37) interviewing the main character's father about what it's like living with severe chronic pain (after a horrible accident that involved braking his neck and back in several places and pulling his left hip out of its socket). Here's a powerful quote from him relatable to the badness and incompensability of (extreme) suffering-moments:"When you cut your finger and you feel that terrible, excruciating pain, the world disappears. The world is gone. You've only cut your little pinky, and its a tiny, tiny little cut that in a matter of moments will be done. But for the moment that you feel that pain, the world is gone. All you feel is that terrible, terrible pain. It's the only universe, the only world you have, and it's all yours, and you're locked in, and everybody else is gone. The problem is when you feel that type of pain endlessly, and you can't escape it. It begins to transform who you are. You begin to lose whatever special thing there is within us that makes life worth living."

What if earth is just a breeding ground of souls for some crazy Intergalactic alchemist?

 

[currantcranberry]

everything dies sometime. you could get really spiritual or theoretical or something but yeah, everything dies eventually. i like to think if everything in the universe began from a singularity, then everything is technically still connected but super drawn out and distant. you may die in terms of your conscious mind and physical body, but energy and matter cant truly be destroyed, only transformed and repurposed.

It seems real enough to constitute a genuine change in our present manner of existence. To what remains speculative.

 

[Gustav Hartmann]

Ludwig Wittgenstein said the following of death in Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus: 'Death is not an event in life: we do not live to experience death. If we take eternity to mean not infinite temporal duration but timelessness, then eternal life belongs to those who live in the present.

If only events in life are real, death is not real.

Solipsism is another approach to "what is real and what is not". Solipsism is the philosophical idea that only one's mind is sure to exist. Knowledge of anything outside one's own mind is unsure; the external world and other minds cannot be known and might not exist outside the mind.

Who ever dreamt to wake up althought he was still dreaming might understand this. When you commit suicide in a dream, you will wake up in realty or another level of dreaming. This is a little like reincarnation.

 

[CantDoIt]

I cant imagine what eternal nothing is supposed to be like. I understand that it's a prevailing theory and we feel this way during general anesthesia, but only because we have something to compare it to do we understand non-being. So it seems crazy I have no idea what it will be like.

 

[lifeisbutadream]

The more I think about death, the less real it seems

Because it's not what they tell you it is. It's the opposite! What they call "death" here on earth is awakening from a dream, coming alive!
