there is no answer thats the truth. there will never be an answer so dont get your head wrapped around that.
what? you must be elz if you dont know what i just said
plain and simple - we can ponder this shit forever and still have no answer - so pipe down and think about real things that actually matter
How do you answer 'Does she rub your cum on her back?' on the forum?
the laws of physics show that "Something can't come from nothing", every action must have an equal and opposite reaction; nothing can be created nor destroyed, it can merely change form.. This universe's creation could only result from the destruction of another universe -- there is therefore, an infinite number of universes that are all preceded by the destruction of one universe and are succeeded by the creation of another. We must then assume that every possible set-up for a universe will recur, and keep recurring an infinite amount of times. Your existence will repeat itself again and again, and every pleasure and every pain will be exactly the same, again and again.
A genius would therefore kill himself right before adutlhood, to spare himself the pain of real life
ok so the laws of physics are theory that is still kind of new, and it is probably not perfect or close to it, so maybe in future it will be rewritten and improved maybe something can come from nothing we just dont know it yet.
all of this has happened before
all of it will happen again...
everytime the univerrse loops i inevitably come into this thread and call plug drugs a giant fag
figures I take this thread seriously and try to start a discussion about fractal theory and plug drugs ignores me...
but since your brain would be dead during this near-eternal gap in time, it would seem like a mere instant; the moment you die, you would come back to life as an infant again with no past memory, only to relive the same exact life with no difference whatsoever
but your own logic defeats itself; you're exactly right: there is no soul, that exact copy of you is you, because all that you are is what you've experienced, so that exact copy of you by all rights is still you. There is nothing tying you to it other than a superficial sense of identity
futurama philosopher
this thanksgiving, lets be thankful that we weren't born a cripple, and that there were at least a few moments in life where we found life worth living - because our eternally recurring copies of ourselves will have to experience this same life again and again
It's not you, it's someone who happens to look like you who is born trillions of years after your death. You don't "die, then wake up", you die, your universe is destroyed, and at some distant point in the future another collection of molecules and energy that resembles you is born. It has no more connection to you than a clone would.
did not read the whole thread because plug drug is a headache generator

face it fractal theory rocks everything else is bullshit
plug drugs, youre right, this is all your drug induced hallucination, the universe is your creation and its bound to keep loopingover and over and over agian and only you can change it, did you see that movie Looper yet? (spoiler alret)
implying there is more than one universe implying we dont just stop existing and the universe doesnt stop changing into new things and never repeats it self EVER aka shit only happens once as time does not loop around ever
you're right, but i don't think in order to feel satisfied with this thought experiment we have to recognize some sort of connection or "soul" shared between us and our distant "existential clones"; the fact is that life goes on, our life eternally recurs, your exact thoughts right now are shared more than a trillion times over in time. That should leave us satisfied, to know that life will continue to exist eternally, unless some other scenario is true and our life and existence is merely a blip of light between two eternities of darkness
either scenario is motivating in one way or another; the biggest mistake we can make is to be trapped in confusion and believe in nothing; know that no matter what is true, there is still a hopeful outlook on it.
If we are just a blip of light between two eternities of darkness, then our life should ring out to us as some sort of grand tragedy that we should make the most of
when i got a bunch of money from inheritance recently and did what any drug-lover would do and spent a few weeks getting completely doped out, i had all the opiates i could dream of and it just wasn't enough for me. No matter how much I took, I didn't feel satisfied. I realized that I would overdose before I could ever feel satisfied - and I almost did, I almost fell asleep while driving a few times no matter how much I tried forcing myself to stay awake; I had to slap myself awake a few times just so I didn't crash and kill myself.
But even being at that point where I was nodding out so hard I had to concentrate on the simplest tasks and would fall asleep standing up, I wasn't feeling the amount of pleasure I wanted and I wasn't satisfied...
The moments in life when I am most satisfied are when I take so many drugs that I am scared I might die or never go back to being normal again; only then do I start appreciating things as they are
to be honest, I almost got to the point of losing control of bodily functions. If another drug had been in the equation (like benzos or alcohol), that's what would have happened. But I don't like mixing downers, i try to enjoy just one at a time
i literally got so high on oxy i was hallucinating. I went into a radical grandiose delerium.
I didn't let the hallucinations bother me though, I just acknowledged the fact that I was hallucinating from the obscenely high dose of oxy and just went with it.
At the peak of it, I was doing something like 300-350mg a day, or about $200-250 worth of oxy a day
