This prospect doesnt bother me in the least. I've already been replaced 5 times in my life so far. The soul is a spook. Let my clone smother me in my sleep and deal with the IRS instead.
Makes me wonder how many times I've been replaced. Also makes me wonder if I just died yesterday and today I'm actually a new person. I have no evidence that yesterday happened except for a memory of it, and let's face it, since it was a public holiday, that's a pretty foggy memory
yeah, went down this rabbit hole recently: what if I'm the .001% that lives until ? or what if 'me' is an amalgam of all the ones that die, and I get to live all those lives until the variable runs out.
I wonder about that. During the deepest part of sleep does your brain have enough activity to maintain a continuous stream of consciousness? If you go through two sleep cycles in a night does yesterday you die, and you from the first sleep cycle who only dreamed die, and you're a new consciousness in the morning?
Dreaming is just the brain butchering who you were and placing whatever's left in storage as decaying trophies.
I feel like there's a great story behind each one of the five
Damn dude. Was each time a death? I think a someone’s following me around and snuffing me out. Mandela Effects keep happening. Also I’m getting elf ears? Reality is weird.
plastic surgery - that shit's expensive. use that money for something better lol!
No I mean my ears are literally just spontaneously developing into elf ears
"The soul is a spook"
I'm sorry I understand those words not in those orders though, are you saying the soul is an olde timey anti-black racial slur or that it's inherently scary?
A spook is a pretty niche concept from philosophy, I believe coined by Max Stirner
It basically means a social construct that is being taken as if it is a real factual thing instead of something made up?
I am bad at explaining stuff but I hope you get the gist of it.
could also indicate ghost or intelligence operative. I don't assume they were going racist with it.
Spook = ghost (aka a soul unhoused a living body)
