I’m definitely of the mind that “if hell exists, we’re already there”.
I also believe that reincarnation is possible, and if you combine those two things, and “heaven” is being able to leave this place and not come back.
I don’t know what’s actually out there. I know what I believe to be out there and I obligate nobody to agree with me on that. I also think that athiesm is a more likely factual belief versus any religion that uses a text book to dictate their thoughts; but like with many things, I believe the truth is somewhere in-between, in the unknown chasm that science is trying to fill.
My beliefs will always be that science is fact, any “faith” I have beyond that is just an educated guess at best, and when science proves something I used to believe was different than what was proven, then I am wrong and my beliefs must change accordingly.
It’s a wild world, and I’m tired of suffering it, but someone put me here and unless I take “the easy way out”, I’m stuck here for another few decades at least, barring any unforeseen circumstances.
The big breakthrough science needs is figuring out how to shut down the POV we have without making us unconscious/dead. Basically, how can one be converted into a P-zombie, and back, without causing unconsciousness or death in the process?
Or put in another way: What is the minimum amount of brain required to transfer my consciousness, and ONLY my consciousness (not including memory, language, knowing how to walk, etc), into your body?
Figure that thing out, and a lot of before and after questions become easier to solve.
