> I think it might be fun to be dead.
How so?
Death is not an event in life because death is not lived through w.
I don't think... It feels like anything at all to be dead.
Though... For the record...
I'd like to be cremated.
Or if I'm buried...
I'd like a tree to be planted over top of me.
Round about where my belly button is / was
Let me think on what kind of tree...
I think I want something with good strong roots...
Because the point is to be part of the tree...
Just in case it does feel like something to be dead
And your consciousness is still associated with your body / brain...
I'd like the particles to become part of another living thing...
I imagine that would take a number of years.I have been thinking...
I wonder if air has distributed consciousness.
I mean...
We do.
Our brains...
Different things going on in different parts of our brains
Produces different effects in our conscious experience
Our conscious experience is distributed in space
I wonder what happens to it when we die
Maybe it needs to be instantiated on / realised on something physical
Like money is more than bits of paper and metal but money needs some physical instantiation or other...
I wonder if it breaks up...
Becomes less distributed...
Or whether we become more distributed...
Whats it like to be air???
A gas???Death will some soon enough
<shudder>
I really do hope it is the end
Thats all I want
No more painBut then if all I really want is no more pain
Then how come I'm keen to become something that has the capacity to feel pain?I just don't like the thought of rotting flesh
And worms
<shudder>
I don't wanna be a worm :-(
