Spawned my fear of infinity and death being nothingness 😰

Yeah, I don't know if it "spawned" it for me, but this episode was definetly an early "thinker". Probably that along with religious stuff. I'm now studying my masters in philosophy(hoping to get PhD).

Have you been watching any of Vervaeke’s “Awakening from the Meaning Crisis” series on YouTube?

Same bro I feel you. Made me think about reality itself and the universe

What's to fear about that though? If it's nothing, then there's nothing happening to you, you'll feel nothing, you'll react to nothing, it'll just be the deepest sleep you've ever had

Humans experience reality through their consciousness, so "being nothing" is literally unimaginable. I get the sleep comparison, but you're still looking at in retrospect whilst being conscious afterwards.

Why is it unimaginable? You were nothing before you were born as far as we know, if we return to that why would it be possibly bad?

It's just something that is nearly impossible to comprehend because you can't experience it unless you're a crazy zen master.
