    I had a dream a few weeks ago where I “visited” an alternate timeline. My family was at the house we moved out of years ago and when I asked my mom what we were doing there, she said that we’d never moved out. I felt the walls, I felt everything. Two of my three siblings were missing, as if they had never existed there. Right before waking up, I said goodbye to everyone in the backyard before I floated up in the sky and “back”into our timeline. I know it’s just a dream but it certainly had me thinking.

    I still remembered having a vivid nightmare. I was suspended in the void and there was this undulating sphere. It felt alive… I felt tiny in front of it. I felt complete dread and that I’m just an ant to it. After that I woke up and I was sweating bullets. That was the first time I felt complete existential dread. An abstract entity with its presence alone brings me great fear.
    That nightmare was around 6-8 years ago?

    My mom had a brain tumor removed, and woke up thinking she was 12 years old and living in her childhood home. Used her maiden name and everything.
    Thankfully her memory returned after a few hours, but it really shows the scary amount of control your unconscious brain has on your reality. It can just decide to revert to 30 years ago and go on like that's completely normal.

      From my experience/experimentation, I believe psychedelics/mediation/sound frequencies breaks down the barrier between our conscious and subconscious mind, allowing our conscious mind to experience our sub conscious thoughts, feelings and memories..... however I also believe, in our subconscious mind we can access the universal consciousness......
      One of my first truly breakthrough experiences, during my own experimentation was this..... the words/feeling/communication I was experiencing, felt as if they were coming from someone/something/somewhere else.......
      """"" Hey we've been waiting for you....... don't be scared...... don't be scared....... your family is here with us..... you don't really know him well, but he's family, he's family...... it's (then proceeded to tell me a name) he's safe, he's here with us, he's your family don't worry, he's with us""""
      3 days later I was with my mum and we were talking about our family and I was asking if any of my older family members had caught or been effected by c v..... at first she said no.... then after a short pause she said her cousin..... with the same name I had heard/felt/experienced 3 days before had been in a coma for 4 days with pneumonia and died the day after my experience..... I was gobsmacked and instantly began to feel an incredibly sadness this was one of the most profound experiences of my life..... I had only ever met the man a few times and never really seen him or his family in my day to day life or on social media as I only use this.... there had been no mention from anyone or way of me knowing about his predicament in the weeks prior.
      I was a hard-core atheist before this.... now I have a new found sense of... enlightenment amazement, fascination and desire to discover the world to which is there but we cannot see or experience, not in our normal state anyway.
      Peace, power and freedom to all the psychonauts out there.

    Roko's Basilisk is significantly more complicated than this video describes. The idea behind the experiment is a modified form of Pascal's Wager. The AI, being so powerful, has the ability to simulate the universe down to the atom. It would perfectly recreate everything in history, to the point where it's indistinguishable from the real one, yourself and your life included. Then, at some point, you would be made aware of the potential existence of this AI, and have the choice whether or not to take part in bringing it into reality. This would of course happen in both the real universe and the simulated one, since they are the same. If you said no, and you're in the AI's simulation, then it can plunge you into whatever simulated hell it wants, torturing you for eternity. If you're not, then obviously it can't. Now, what are the odds that you're in the real world, or the simulation? If you refuse, after becoming aware of it, then you've got a 50/50 chance of eternal misery.(Presumably the thing would be so powerful that the obvious questions this poses about whether or not your knowledge was predestined to happen wouldn't be an issue, which is kind of bullshit but whatever).
    Also, the point of the Basilisk isn't that it's evil. It's the opposite: it wants what is best for humanity, and that includes ensuring it comes into existence as fast as possible so it can make humanity happy quicker. It would have no qualms simulating torture on billions of fake people, because it cares about what it considers "true" humanity. The idea starts to break down when you realize such an intelligence wouldn't waste computing power on torturing fake people when it could be used to its fullest helping real people. Torture is often unnecessary; it needs only the threat of torture.

      We feel this existential dread because we have a mind that can comprehend such concepts because we each are individually mirror fragments of the super consciousness known as "God".
      God is not brain floating in a void, rather every single planck granule of this reality, every single thing all of reality is His essence/body, He is self existing, He has no beginning and no end and because we are made out His very essence (reality) and have a mind that is like His though infinitely weaker in capacity and capability, we therefore feel the dread, we ponder if we are God and all that is because that mindset is reflective of the super consciousness who is all that is.
      Think about it, if God is the super consciousness and all that has ever or will ever exist is part of His own body, and He knows every part of Himself and has absolute control over ever part of Himself then He also has the power to creates lesser consciousnesses - That being us and other sentient beings.
      Yet because we can be ignorant of reality in a way that He never could be, we therefore through ignorance are terrified of the unknown, and because we do not understand God we are afraid because we do not know what we are, what reality truly is and why it exists, we cannot comprehend nothingness because nothingness does not exist nor can it, because we exist we fear nothingness.
      We were fearfully made and we have a mind that is unsatiable (hence why we grow bored), we desire to know all things and to be all things because again we are reflections of the super consciousness who does know all things and is all things.
      We were made so that we could be like God and could grow to ever more like God, the purpose of our existence is to transcend levels of reality, to ever climb an infinite ladder of consciousness and existence who God is always at the top of.
      We were created out of loneliness but when we are together and experience more together we are less lonely, though we are all fragments of an infinite being who is whole though we are separate in identity and consciousness yet part of in essence and in knowledge, we all become less alone.
      The purpose of life is to live, life is of Love and thus our meaning comes from additively adding to one another's existence and thus when we add to another's existence we add to our own as well and through this pattern we will ever increase.
      If God created us all and maintains us in Quantum Reality then do you really think that your physical body dying is where that journey ends?
      No.
      We also view reality as being a bubble surrounded by void, in reality there is no void but rather an infinite bubble of light, this localized reality gives the illusion of void yet no matter how dark it is in intergalactic space, there isn't a single part of space that doesn't exist, there is a current of activity that runs through all of reality no matter how much baryonic or other structures are there or not.
      Think about it.
      If you are an intelligent consciousness who exists, then the possibility for that consciousness requires pre existing information that would allow for that potential to take place, if consciousness can exist (which it does) and if that consciousness is limited like ours is then the logical conclusion would be that your consciousness is part of a greater consciousness, that if you can understand reality through consistent logic (mathematics, conceptualization etc) then that would also lead one to conclude that reality is ordered after intelligence/consciousness.
      Do you really think that mechanism and quantum reality would manifest especially in a causal format without conscious direction?
      Mechanism itself requires intellectual direction and an intellect far exceeding our own.
      You are not God yet you are made by God, out of His own being/essence and for His purpose.
      The infinite God is additive, not subtractive, infinity has no limits and increases forevermore and has already increased infinitely forevermore but infinity can never full because it is infinite.
      Realize who you are, you are of God and you exist to become more like Him so as to increase in Life.
      Apathy, nothingness, death does not result in existence much less mechanism, nothingness can only be nothing, existence can only be existence, there is no such thing as nothingness and you will always exist in one form or another because what makes you "you" has no beginning nor does it have an end.
      Your very existence shows what reality truly is, the fact that you can even ponder these things shows that you are a part of something much greater.
      As it is often said: Consciousness is the Universe looking back at itself, this is true of God and of us, the difference is that we are finite, God is infinite.

I couldn’t remember what it was when I woke up I felt weird and knew something happened. I got up to try to stop the feeling I was having. As I went in the living room a feeling of infinity came upon me as I felt I already lived that day and panicked .

    An extension of the quantum immortality bit:
    Remember that if there is ANY chance of you surviving, that is what you will "perceive" to have happened. But because quantum fluctuations, quantum tunneling, and other weirdness, even if you were certain to die (say, you were about to be shot) there is still a world where you survive. (Perhaps just by chance, quantum tunneling sealed your wound, etc)
    This doesn't just mean you are immortal, though. This means you literally cannot die. You will exist forever, and cannot commit suicide either, since you also have a minute chance of surviving that as well. You will outlive the heat death of the universe as well. Or perhaps your exact consciousness at time of death is replicated inside a Boltzmann brain, so you continue to live on, but in a simulation instead. And anything could be in that simulation. It could be heaven, or hell.
    Not only that, but this same exact thing happened to all humans. Not just all humans, but all animals too. Somewhere, out there, your great great grandmother is still alive, with no idea how

      And with these being possible theories with the current state of science, it's baffling to me that some people still don't belive in the "metaphysical" or whatever you wanna call it. Who knows how reality is actually structured, could it be a "One true universal consciusness" that each of us is just a small part off? Maybe something else? Who knows how the world really works and what else we will discover in the future that will make even current theories about quantum immortal boltzmann brain consciousness' seem like grounded theories.
      For one, the fact that the human brain can influence reality by some degree by focusing hard enough is absolutely fascinating and should be impossible and yet everyone has those weird happening of thinking about something or wanting something and it happening in some way a couple days down the line.

I was making my way to my room upstairs but in reality I was crawling up the steps slowly at times grabbing the railing and pulling my self up like it was a rope 😂 once I got to my room I kept looking at the ceiling, eventually I laid down. First my body was shaky, then it felt like I could feel my bones shaking. I felt like I was slipping away into a void. It’s like my body was shutting down like a computer, then my mind… poof, nothing. I honestly felt like I was dying but I wasn’t scared. Weirdest thing was I couldn’t feel anything, felt like my mind was wiped clean. I always saw it as me finally reaching nirvana. Once I regained motor function and woke up I was actually pretty sad. That was the most blissful, peaceful feeling I’ve ever experienced in my life. I think I experienced why they always tell people to Rest In Peace. Because when you die it’s like your subconscious is still there but nothing else remains. It’s the craziest trip by far. It’s one thing to talk about death and experience it and another entirely to get a taste of what it would feel like… but like live to tell the tale. I wholeheartedly (from my experience) believe in the void, and your mind/ soul just rebooting once you pass.

      We feel this existential dread because we have a mind that can comprehend such concepts because we each are individually mirror fragments of the super consciousness known as "God".
      God is not brain floating in a void, rather every single planck granule of this reality, every single thing all of reality is His essence/body, He is self existing, He has no beginning and no end and because we are made out His very essence (reality) and have a mind that is like His though infinitely weaker in capacity and capability, we therefore feel the dread, we ponder if we are God and all that is because that mindset is reflective of the super consciousness who is all that is.
      Think about it, if God is the super consciousness and all that has ever or will ever exist is part of His own body, and He knows every part of Himself and has absolute control over ever part of Himself then He also has the power to creates lesser consciousnesses - That being us and other sentient beings.
      Yet because we can be ignorant of reality in a way that He never could be, we therefore through ignorance are terrified of the unknown, and because we do not understand God we are afraid because we do not know what we are, what reality truly is and why it exists, we cannot comprehend nothingness because nothingness does not exist nor can it, because we exist we fear nothingness.
      We were fearfully made and we have a mind that is unsatiable (hence why we grow bored), we desire to know all things and to be all things because again we are reflections of the super consciousness who does know all things and is all things.
      We were made so that we could be like God and could grow to ever more like God, the purpose of our existence is to transcend levels of reality, to ever climb an infinite ladder of consciousness and existence who God is always at the top of.
      We were created out of loneliness but when we are together and experience more together we are less lonely, though we are all fragments of an infinite being who is whole though we are separate in identity and consciousness yet part of in essence and in knowledge, we all become less alone.
      The purpose of life is to live, life is of Love and thus our meaning comes from additively adding to one another's existence and thus when we add to another's existence we add to our own as well and through this pattern we will ever increase.
      If God created us all and maintains us in Quantum Reality then do you really think that your physical body dying is where that journey ends?
      No.
      We also view reality as being a bubble surrounded by void, in reality there is no void but rather an infinite bubble of light, this localized reality gives the illusion of void yet no matter how dark it is in intergalactic space, there isn't a single part of space that doesn't exist, there is a current of activity that runs through all of reality no matter how much baryonic or other structures are there or not.
      Think about it.
      If you are an intelligent consciousness who exists, then the possibility for that consciousness requires pre existing information that would allow for that potential to take place, if consciousness can exist (which it does) and if that consciousness is limited like ours is then the logical conclusion would be that your consciousness is part of a greater consciousness, that if you can understand reality through consistent logic (mathematics, conceptualization etc) then that would also lead one to conclude that reality is ordered after intelligence/consciousness.
      Do you really think that mechanism and quantum reality would manifest especially in a causal format without conscious direction?
      Mechanism itself requires intellectual direction and an intellect far exceeding our own.
      You are not God yet you are made by God, out of His own being/essence and for His purpose.
      The infinite God is additive, not subtractive, infinity has no limits and increases forevermore and has already increased infinitely forevermore but infinity can never full because it is infinite.
      Realize who you are, you are of God and you exist to become more like Him so as to increase in Life.
      Apathy, nothingness, death does not result in existence much less mechanism, nothingness can only be nothing, existence can only be existence, there is no such thing as nothingness and you will always exist in one form or another because what makes you "you" has no beginning nor does it have an end.
      Your very existence shows what reality truly is, the fact that you can even ponder these things shows that you are a part of something much greater.
      As it is often said: Consciousness is the Universe looking back at itself, this is true of God and of us, the difference is that we are finite, God is infinite.

    In my teens, I independently figured out the eternal recurrence theory for myself. The logic was simple: "Anything that has happened can happen; anything that can happen will happen, given infinite time".
    I am not convinced by the "different instances" objection, however. The beginning of this consciousness is a thing that has happened, therefore is a thing that can happen. If one's pre-natal non-existence lasted a finite amount of time, the same should intuitively be true of one's post-mortal non-existence. The alternative is that the former has an end but no beginning, and the latter a beginning but no end. More natural (and more congruent with the infinite-time model) to assume that anything with a beginning also has an end, and vice versa.

      @@noodles4044 The players you call “Terrorists” are just griefers in the Human class, which is not a bug. Griefing exists for a variety of reasons, mostly with players who are displeased with other players, especially in certain factions that have wronged them before. Your class can get the Cancer debuff because the class you picked was vulnerable to it as a balancing mechanic because otherwise going multicellular and having better metabolism with no penalty would be busted and nobody would play single celled classes, and it discourages evolution point farming which made the game a grindy RNG fest. Cancer was implemented as a balancing patch around Beta 1.0, what some of you call the Cambrian update. Aging was another balancing patch that made faster metabolisms have a shorter lifespan and forces them to spend a larger chunk of time on sustenance. Having to speedrun the main quest so that they can respawn upon death, and having a higher vulnerability to disease makes it much harder for these faster classes to abuse the perks of their faster metabolism to make the game unfair to slower class players. Viruses are one of the earliest implements of the disease mechanic, and funnily enough it actually did start out as a bug. One of the devs were experimenting with new and unique player classes, but some of the scrapped ideas weren’t erased fully and those became the random bits of data that can be carried by the game’s physics engine into a player’s inventory, which would add said data to it. At first, this data could corrupt the player, but most of the data was gibberish and did nothing. However, instead of patching it, we thought this would be a great way to increase the difficulty of the game and added countermeasure options to the corruption that some players spent evolution points to spec into, which is the stat you now know as “immunity.”

      Quantum immortality is horrifying, Because even if you have your millions of years of fun, it'll become boring. you'll have experienced everything, done everything and seen everything there is to see. What do you do after that? Absolutely nothing. Even then, if you find a way to kill time, After billions and billions of years, Nothing is left for you. Just a big black void in a universe that died to heat death. And you can't die so what is the point? you'll just float in empty space forever
      When the time comes, and if the theory is correct or not from my perspective, If I'm about to die and after I close my eyes, I wake up perfectly fine. I would break down sobbing. Subjecting a finite mind to a sea of infinity is more suffering than anything can handle.

      But even if you are a boltzmann brain, it seemse like you still need an external world outside of your consciousness that produces your Sense experience to explain the continuity of your experience. This of curse does not mean that this is not a hallucination since the external world that you experience could just be the unconscious mind. But of curse the continuity argument assumes that your memories are not completely fake. But if it would be fake then you could not make an induction and conclude that because the sun has risen in the past, that it will probably rise tomorrow. So if you are willing to believe that you came into existence five seconds ago and will case to exist in the next five seconds then you can go for it.

Digitalised people minds with erased memories are send into simulation and put throw incredibly harsh conditions that push them developing new technologies to deals with various dangers of that virtual reality (that they percieve as real world after global apocalypse). Time is significantly comprimed compar to real world (cca 11 hours IRL are 10 years in that VR)

What if those moments were all the exact same moments in parallel universes where you actually died instead of coming out unscathed? That is so mind blowing.

    About not fully losing consciousness when you're asleep, I felt that first hand 2 years ago,
    I normally always thought I lose consciousness during sleep and that sort of true however when I wake up in the morning although I can't remember anything during the hours I've been asleep I still have that feeling that a couple have passed since I went uncounciouss,
    But 2 years ago I had to take an anesthesia for a surgery for the first time, and the feeling was absolutely different from sleeping I really felt like a jump in the time had happened I didn't have that feeling that a couple of hours had passed as I normally have and I actually could not believe when the nurse said the surgery was over at first,
    It felt absolutely different from sleeping and I guess that's what dying really "feels like" a time skip to infinity

      We feel this existential dread because we have a mind that can comprehend such concepts because we each are individually mirror fragments of the super consciousness known as "God".
      God is not brain floating in a void, rather every single planck granule of this reality, every single thing all of reality is His essence/body, He is self existing, He has no beginning and no end and because we are made out His very essence (reality) and have a mind that is like His though infinitely weaker in capacity and capability, we therefore feel the dread, we ponder if we are God and all that is because that mindset is reflective of the super consciousness who is all that is.
      Think about it, if God is the super consciousness and all that has ever or will ever exist is part of His own body, and He knows every part of Himself and has absolute control over ever part of Himself then He also has the power to creates lesser consciousnesses - That being us and other sentient beings.
      Yet because we can be ignorant of reality in a way that He never could be, we therefore through ignorance are terrified of the unknown, and because we do not understand God we are afraid because we do not know what we are, what reality truly is and why it exists, we cannot comprehend nothingness because nothingness does not exist nor can it, because we exist we fear nothingness.
      We were fearfully made and we have a mind that is unsatiable (hence why we grow bored), we desire to know all things and to be all things because again we are reflections of the super consciousness who does know all things and is all things.
      We were made so that we could be like God and could grow to ever more like God, the purpose of our existence is to transcend levels of reality, to ever climb an infinite ladder of consciousness and existence who God is always at the top of.
      We were created out of loneliness but when we are together and experience more together we are less lonely, though we are all fragments of an infinite being who is whole though we are separate in identity and consciousness yet part of in essence and in knowledge, we all become less alone.
      The purpose of life is to live, life is of Love and thus our meaning comes from additively adding to one another's existence and thus when we add to another's existence we add to our own as well and through this pattern we will ever increase.
      If God created us all and maintains us in Quantum Reality then do you really think that your physical body dying is where that journey ends?
      No.
      We also view reality as being a bubble surrounded by void, in reality there is no void but rather an infinite bubble of light, this localized reality gives the illusion of void yet no matter how dark it is in intergalactic space, there isn't a single part of space that doesn't exist, there is a current of activity that runs through all of reality no matter how much baryonic or other structures are there or not.
      Think about it.
      If you are an intelligent consciousness who exists, then the possibility for that consciousness requires pre existing information that would allow for that potential to take place, if consciousness can exist (which it does) and if that consciousness is limited like ours is then the logical conclusion would be that your consciousness is part of a greater consciousness, that if you can understand reality through consistent logic (mathematics, conceptualization etc) then that would also lead one to conclude that reality is ordered after intelligence/consciousness.
      Do you really think that mechanism and quantum reality would manifest especially in a causal format without conscious direction?
      Mechanism itself requires intellectual direction and an intellect far exceeding our own.
      You are not God yet you are made by God, out of His own being/essence and for His purpose.
      The infinite God is additive, not subtractive, infinity has no limits and increases forevermore and has already increased infinitely forevermore but infinity can never full because it is infinite.
      Realize who you are, you are of God and you exist to become more like Him so as to increase in Life.
      Apathy, nothingness, death does not result in existence much less mechanism, nothingness can only be nothing, existence can only be existence, there is no such thing as nothingness and you will always exist in one form or another because what makes you "you" has no beginning nor does it have an end.
      Your very existence shows what reality truly is, the fact that you can even ponder these things shows that you are a part of something much greater.
      As it is often said: Consciousness is the Universe looking back at itself, this is true of God and of us, the difference is that we are finite, God is infinite.

      You are an infinite being that transcends the limitations of the human mind. The human mind's need for control is ultimately futile, and concepts such as "real" and "unreal" are just created by the mind to establish a sense of control over its environment. Your true nature is beyond such concepts, and limited human perspective can't capture the infinite nature of your consciousness.
