If we're disregarding religions, and looking at death from a scientific angle, then there supposedly is an answer; that being that there's a whole lot of nothing after death. The way I came to this conclusion is how everything is made of atoms, including your brain, and matter cannot be created or destroyed. This means that atoms make up your consciousness, and is just recycled, rearranged atoms from before you were born. This would mean that after those atoms forming your consciousness disband, they just get recycled again. Your consciousness would literally be broken apart and those atoms form other things later on after your body decomposes. This would mean that death is only the space within atoms, which if you aren't there to witness it, would allude to the point that there's not anything after death: just the space of where atoms form. A void if you will. Though, this is just a thought, and we don't quite know where the root of consciousness is yet (or at least I don't think so, lol). My brain also kinda shut down the philosophy mode halfway through so I couldn't truly say what I was previously thinking, only what I remember thinking.

What personally got you into Christianity/religion as a whole? I can't really get behind any main stream religions. I kinda have my own mini belief, but I can't understand religions. For example, there's Christianity, there's Islam, Hinduism, there's Buddhism, etc. I just feel like there's so many different religions because religions are ways for humans to cope with the existence of everything; it gives them an answer to an impossible question. That's just my view, and I'm not throwing shade at any religion, lol. But I'm just curious if you got into religion later on in life or if you were just raised with it?

I feel like the new NHL games are just so "arcadey" and like too artificial. Like I miss the old physics of the games like NHL 19. Now, the hits just feel like animations and are super un-impactful. Maybe I just have a chud take, but do you guys like the newer games (past NHL 21)?

I'm not quite sure that this is the right sub-reddit, lol. But I'm trying to find a way to achieve derealization, and not through stuff like factors that may play into it. I mean, is there a method to get into a derealization state. If you're wondering "why the hell would anyone want that?", then that's fair, lmao. I just really want to experience it. I have before and it was super thought provoking, and I would want to recreate it.

It's crazy that in the fraction of the second you're born, and you die at the same time. What I mean by this is that time doesn't really pass. "Time" is just an hallucination in a way. I mean, there's no point between when you were 4 years old and how ever old you are now that stops. You know? Time's just constantly passing, which means that you pretty much get born and die in the same time fraction. To add to that making sense; once you die, time just stops. But that means that in the snap of a finger, you just don't exist, but due to time not being an actual "real" thing, it's almost as if the entire timeline of your life closes inwards on both sides until it just disappears. Similar to turning off a tv.

As I was writing this, my mind decided to stop thinking well and I lost the plot 😔 Hopefully someone can understand what I mean
