Should I Die? 

You probably should, but not anytime soon

lmao fuck you too youtube.

Like he's not wrong

RU-vid loves you.

"Or should you?!" Hmm.... Consciousness is like a running computer "program/code", it runs while the human body is powered on with blood flowing, but once the heart stops so does the brain and thus the "program/code". The body is nothing but a "tin can" a "vehicle" or a "laptop" if you will. Once the brain dies the body is nothing but an empty shell... just burn it, bury it, there's really nothing sexy about it. lmao

Ikr they jump straight to 10 years for something like vandalism, I get that it is a national monument but thats basically a life changing amount of time

If by "average person" you mean "insufficient sample size of people", yes.

Holy fuck i couldn't believe people were giving those sentences for things like Vandalism. Shit, 10 years is a lot of time

I mean, it's nationalism and pride. The dumbest part of humans, but a part nonetheless

10 years of imprisonment for public indecency ROFL

YES. This is CRAZY. People do NOT understand what encarceration is and do

10 years for VANDALISM?? Do they not know the things people get away with?? Theres no justice fr

I agree lol, except the medical case none of them deserved a 7

Yeah i noticed that and i feel like that has to be taken into account as far as possibly skewing the results

@@cyberdragon1000 naw hat child scammer deserves it to

It actually gives us an interesting debate,is after death same than before birth ?Because its still speculation,and what is asserted without proofs can be refuted without proofs.

@@momokaka321 There's good evidence to suggest that consciousness is a function of the brain. Once the brain dies, consciousness dies with it. Hence, nothingness before, nothingness after

@@momokaka321It’s not a debate, it’s a fact that sadly the majority of the world cannot accept. When our brain dies there is nothing left to be capable of feeling anything. Death is the end

@@rnomromro6715 You still cannot assume that with what we know now, if that was the case how did we go from "dead" to "living" in the first place. If you can spontaneously live from nothing, what is to say you cannot do it again. I don't mind if I am wrong because I do know I won't care nor will I be able to care after I die lol.

@@rnomromro6715 The question of what happens after death is a deeply philosophical and existential one, and it has been a topic of debate for centuries among theologians, philosophers, and scientists. However, it's important to note that the question of what happens after death remains a matter of belief and speculation because there is no conclusive scientific evidence or empirical proof that definitively answers this question. The nature of consciousness, the existence of an afterlife, or what might happen after death are still open questions without universally accepted answers. In summary,you have expressed a specific viewpoint on death, it's important to recognize that the nature of death and what, if anything, comes after it is still a topic of philosophical debate and remains open to interpretation. It's not a settled fact but rather a matter of personal belief and perspective.

I would give a zero for the person sunbathing nude.

It’s crazy when you REALLY sit and think about an inevitable death clock we all have on our heads. What is the final tick? would you know all of a sudden, you’re not alive, dead? Where would you be in time? Will you know the cancellation of existence??? How can you? Why is this even a thing everyone experience?? We’ve been around advancing in knowledge for centuries, yet still can’t dig into the unknown realm of death. I always end with the fact that despite I know nothing about death, I someday will… or will I? I guess I wouldn’t be able to comprehend that I’m dead. Shits crazy but it’s gonna happen 🥲

@@mikudubskasai8725 thats such a good comment bro :D

@@mikudubskasai8725 so real

Welcome to the club friend. I'm worried on what comes after death. Reincarnation? Heaven? Becoming a Ghost? It's scary

until he came back and asked "you wanna talk to aliens bruh?"

I will die, but would I?

You’re making me think about the fact that Michael will actually die. Sad af now.

These are my final words.. Or are they?

Exactly. The thing that has helped me the most to cope with these same thoughts is the sentiment she kinda touched on with "Living as long as i can till technology saves me" because i doubt ill live long enough to see technology reach that point even if im cryo frozen. What i take from that statement tho is something that ive already told myself many times and its the thought that even tho that moment will come, im going to keep going out of spite. To say fuck you, ill last as long as i want to and im going to keep running every time the reaper is close because i know eventually itll catch me. But that doesn't mean i have to let it win till it has to. While this thinking doesn't help everyone it has certainly helped me. Especially with making decisions in my life and teaching me what i really want from this existence. Each moment im not true to what i really want from this life is a moment wasted. And i wont let the reaper win by lettin me waste more time stressing about its inevitable arrival.

“After Life NDE” On RU-vid. It’s a very Christian biased channel. They only pick Christian’s to talk to on Zoom, but it’s very interesting hearing the thousands of reports of people describing their experiences with near death experiences. You’ll be okay ❤

Sounds wonderful, the roots tangling themselves around my bones, breaking me down faster, turning me to dust, to be forgotten easier than before. Honestly, that sounds nice

Honestly my decaying body feeding a tree would be more of a use than I am right now.

Hopefully this will be considered weird by the general population within this century

@a.q.2330 What's weird about it? Literally every dead organism feeds another in some way. Why do you think corpses turn into bones? Decomposers like Fungi and Bacteria break down the soft parts of the body to sustain themselves. It's just natural.

@BASIL!!!!! The pumpin' Seagull don't take me seriously either.

A bit late on this video, and this comment. When I think about death I relate it to my (at the time) life long best friend that passed abruptly when we were 18. I remember how absolutely gutted I was, how unfair it felt etc etc. Now many years later, I can't help but think about how full those 18 years were. When I compare it to my own life, even with all these extra years I've lived passed him my life still feels less full than he had with much less time. It's hard to always keep perspective on this, but living hundreds of years of working a job that doesn't fulfill you will never be as meaningful as living 18 full of love and adventures, and I think without death lurking around the corner for us all, we'd never care enough to give that love or spend the time needed to make life worth it. I hope you find your transcendent purpose so you don't feel the need to ever press that button.

Hmm, Though i want both, to be fulfilled and live long and more, The unfulfilling life is the result of a system that demands efficiency and exploitation over sentient decency. An emphatiless system..., so if one wants to work, try to work on a more human centric company or people hehehe This reality has a lot more to offer, I don't think about death nor does it motivate me to do meaningful stuff. Those things are meaningful by themself. We are the ones that gives meaning to the meaningless. I want to experience an era where we can save the sun, and put a tracker on consciousness... an era of rejuvinators, so we can even save even those who have died, and of ressurectors The mark of a non-ideal civilization is deaths and suffering, so the mark of an advanced civilization would be the reverse of that, Even if we can't act. We are the witnessers, and I wanna witness more Let's see if a pure consciousness can insert itself into this universe, a unientity. I hope you all have a fulfilling life and more

i know comparing this topic to works of fiction might be a little insensitive, but all i can think of is a part of the sandman comics. a man named hob declares that he won’t die because he’s just decided that he won’t. Dream overhears this and gets Death to allow him to keep living. every 100 years Dream meets back up with Hob to see how he is and if he still wants to keep living. No matter how miserable or unfulfilling a life hob lives between those meetings, he always says that he wants to keep on living. it’s the first time in any media where a character has been faced with eternity and decided to keep living. it’s hard to think about whether or not i’d be the same.

@@andeverytimewekiss suicide would not be a thing if people weren’t strong enough to push the button

@@minecrafter3448 i see what you’re saying but i don’t think it’s healthy to consider that “strength.” i think that conveys the wrong sort of message

Incorrect, you can only die now or in the future

​@@Benimation Well, if dying is an ongoing process (beginning on the day of my birth for example) then I'm dying all the time, anytime, and whenever I can. Or maybe even, as Screamin' Jay Hawkins had put it: "One day I won't die." And you know when that'll be.

"I want to die" "You've come to the right place."

Has it occurred to anyone, that RU-vid is probably littered with comments by people who have passed away at some point? It's the closest thing to immortality as long as the servers never crash or keep good backups. lol

I agree it’s a good thing to do

I think one thing people find comforting about the video is that this is something every person grapples with. You aren't alone in your anxieties. It can be scary, and that's okay. There a couple of things I would suggest that might help you, because they've helped me, but if they don't that's okay as well. Remember that even if someone else's ideas don't work for you, that doesn't mean they don't understand. You aren't alone. The first thing I would recommend, particularly for the moments where anxiety is particularly strong, is to ground yourself in the moment. Take a deep breath and feel that you are alive right now. You can see and feel the world around you. Your mind might keep straying to detrimental anxieties about death but try to just focus on the physicality of where you are right now. Maybe look into mindfulness techniques. This doesn't mean pushing your fear down or ignoring that death is an option, just regrounding yourself in reality when your mind starts to spiral. Second, reframing things might be useful. Death doesn't mean your existence never was. Your convinces is an emergent pattern born from the way the universe is currently ordered. You aren't the same person you were ten years ago, and you aren't the person who will be here ten years from now. Your atoms come from the universe and you are made up of the same matter as everything else. When you die, you will change. But that doesn't mean you stop existing. You will be part of this universe, your impact on places and people will shape what comes, and new things will take form. You've been stardust before and you'll be stardust again. And we'll be stardust together. Even if you won't quite be you, you won't be alone.
