    In the afterlife, I imagine that I can watch the whole history of the Earth unfold like a movie. So I get a birds-eye view, I can zoom in and out, and I can Fast-Forward, Pause, and Rewind at will. I can see the Earth form, change, Life emerge, extinction events, and repeat.

      That's a neat dream. Being able to find answers that wouldn't make sense in a corporeal existence. After all, consciousness is massless yet it seems to drive for life in every step of the way, so perhaps in a way, we're more than we think we are.

    • @DialecticRed
      @DialecticRed Před rokem +15

      I've dreamt of basically that exact idea, extending it to the notion that you could see not only the history, but all of the future as well. The entirety of the universal time cube.
      Unfortunately, when it comes to the afterlife, I follow Occam's Razor. As much as I would love for this to be the case, I will go through life under the assumption that the termination of life will give way to oblivion.
      That being said, once I reach that point, I'd be extremely grateful to be proven wrong. Although at the same time, I feel like you wouldn't want to exist for eternity. Even if I could see the entirety of the universe, I'm sure that at some point I would tire. The self has to be put to rest at some point . . . I'm just of the opinion that in present day it's all too early.

      Think of viruses as broken fragments of code. DNA and RNA write the "code" which tells our cells how to make new cells and all the parts of our body.
      Just like computer code, if you cut and paste an incomplete segment of code, it might cause problems, not function as intended. That's what viruses do. Cells pick them up and read them thinking they are reading proper code, and they follow the instruction but the instructions are a mess and things get messed up.

      You were never just a spermie bud, those short-lived suckers need a lady cell to hide in, and she had the other half of what was needed to develop a big, beautiful boi. The word you need is *zygote.* Co-conspirators win most of the time.
      ps: death allows new minds to come up with new stuff. As a crusty I know I'm already wasting oxygen (mostly). IOW death is vital to the success of life.

      @@StaticBlaster Absolutely: the really productive time for the human mind is the period after the myelinisation starts, which is why most genius declares itself aged 25.
      Wisdom (40+) although valuable is restricted to the understandings mastered up until the brain has realigned those thoughts (a superhighway is a good analogy) - however that brain becomes more impervious to new concepts.
