I'm not talking about suicide here - please don't worry! This post is about "the thought of death as a concept." Sometimes I can't help but think about it and all its mysteries, with the tech world evolving constantly and our understanding of death staying the same: "When we die, we die - that's it."
- Is it a "reset" button for our consciousness, where we are reborn as someone else, somewhere else in the world after dying?
- Can we overcome it? Do we want to overcome it?
- Let's say we find a way for our cellular structure to "resist" aging. Will we be hampered instead by how our brain only gets worse over time? (I'm actually not sure about this point, but I haven't found a concrete research paper)
These are all hypothetical questions of course. I can't help but be fascinated by how absolutely nobody has any clue of what happens after we die. I personally think there's something more to it, but of course we have no way of knowing just yet.
Do you find yourself thinking about death itself often, HN?
