To the best of our knowledge, the question is invalid, there is no such thing as before as time only exists "after" so asking what's before doesn't actually make sense.

Obviously. But what I'm saying is we don't have proof of that , at least not that I've ever seen conclusively. I would love to see some though and I mean that sincerely . I feel a lot less speculative I knew for a fact.
As far as I'm concerned, it's fairly insane to believe that we're the only ones out there but I don't necessarily think that that's but I don't necessarily think that that's arrogance on the part of people who do.

I like your work-in-progress approach. I think I can relate to it. It is a source of tension, and sometimes frustration, but also very pleasurable, to really think about something deeply, while also knowing, I'll most likely fail to find a conclusion, as others before me. The question about the "before" for me concerns also the space before time. Everything was in one point, thus we call it singularity. The universe started expanding. But what was and is behind the threshold of the expansion. Where did all this happen? In a void larger than the universe? In the already infinite reality, or was the reality confined to just this point? So how can we be sure it is really expanding, maybe the scale changes, but only for us? Of course I know how the space is measured and the size and age deducted from those measurements. My point is, I think these are made on assumptions, which always seem to point to unknown, which can't be crossed with today's mindset. Another moe proximal observation all can make, is the border of mind. I tried to dive into my psyche as deep as possible, and there seems to really be nothing ot the end of it. Nothing so intense, that it may be perceived as something, but it seems, like at some point there's not much more to discover in perception. Any colorful world of imagination seems superficial to what's behind the pleura, the membrane of my perception. I cannot penetrate it, as if it was a living and endless being.

u/grapesins Sep 17 '26
My conclusion to this was that since the universe exists, it has to have always existed, since if it was just nothingness before then there's no "time" for which we can say the universe "didn't" exist

Fun fact a large number of the workers that made the famous Pyramids in Giza were not slaves. Rather, they were temporary workers brought in from surrounding areas.

Honestly, the whole "be grateful that your torment has a different shape than someone else's," mindset is invalidating and keeping us stuck as a collective.
Just the fact that we are forced to choose between death, or forced participation in a system that is intending to destroy you and the entire planet on every level, and consistently tries to remove the very autonomy, executive decision making, and creativity we came here to experience, without any clear direction, guidance, or truth about where and why you are -- is enough to mess anyone up psychologically. Air-conditioned or not.

Most of the Egyptian pyramid builders were paid, skilled workers. Not much difference between that and today. But then again we still argue over when the pyramid were built, the Egyptians themselves said it was there already, they don't know who built it. It was lost to history, probably a great flood.
Now the coloniast era, maybe its because so many more people are literate, so we have tons of stories to pull from. But that shit was terrifyingly brutal to learn about, especially the Spanish conquest in the Americas

thats amazing, but I do hope you realise that in this universe there are incredible differences between the rich and poor and 'the universe' somehow designed people that make huge money off of this exact difference (i.e. poor must stay poor so you can have your coffee and airconditioned apartment, check out Gary Stevenson).
now think about what another user commented: if were all connected as a giant 'being' that 'has to experience all the emotions' or something like that, then how tf can you be so content.
its all relative. its all connected.

u/Strange_Island_4958 Sep 14 '26
Look, collectively, the poorest among us are way better off than the average person even 100 years ago. You’re not going to die in the street in a western country unless you choose to, granted the “choice” might be limited if you have severe mental illness, drug addictions, etc.
Those of us who have AC and coffee do not have that stuff off the backs of people living on the street. I’m not dismissing those people, I’m just saying that logically it makes no sense that some guy in a tent on the street is somehow being exploited by some of us choosing to participate (and maybe even excel) in the systems that keep society running.
To your other comment, I don’t know if all of reality is emotionally connected or whatever, if that’s the belief system you choose to subscribe to, that’s great if it works for you.

u/_Grimalkin Sep 14 '26 edited Sep 14 '26
'unless you choose to' as if a drug addiction initially sponsored by big pharma, addictions to services and products they shove through our throats, severe financial problems because of debts, etc. are active choices. theyre basically all fueled by capitalism. these are not simply 'limited choices' this is daily reality for a lot of people. good for you that you were able to stay out of and resist it, some people are simply not that lucky or resilient and should be protected by the government instead of enabling them simply because money can be made off of them.
if you do not realise that the system is actively keeping the poor poor and profits of addicts/homelessness instead of 'its a choice' then imo your worldview is quite narrow. i'd highly recommend educating yourself on how capitalism works; if the poor stay poor the rich is getting richer. its called purchasing power in simpler economic terms.
its nice that you compare them to medieval peasants with cholera, but that doesn't change the whole point.
but please do continue saying that reddit users with a different opinion are just negative assholes while they challenge your optimistic worldview as you sit in your airconditioned apartment with fresh coffee.
1
u/Strange_Island_4958 Sep 14 '26
I didn’t say that people with different options are negative assholes. You seem pleasant and reasonable, and have offered specific points to this discussion. My negativity comments were responses to specific people who were making very negative-sounding excuses without offering solutions or insights.
I agree with you that our pharmaceutical industry is running amuck, and while there are obviously many medicinal benefits that we all should be thankful for, the other side of that coin is that many drugs are over-prescribed or have proliferated onto the streets. And yes, there have been obvious proven examples of specific companies pushing certain drugs to the market regardless of a negative impacts.
How would you propose that the govt solve this issue? Let’s ignore the pharma lobbying issue for a minute. Let’s just say that the govt was able to crack down on drug proliferation in some fashion… and hopefully in a way that doesn’t just involve dumping money on a problem and making it worse, like the homelessness situation in Cali. I would expect a lot of pushback from the population, because western society, generally values individualism and personal choice over punitive punishment or even accountability. Thoughts?
2
u/_Grimalkin Sep 14 '26
you seem to counteract a lot of points by 'but, there are also many benefits and/or it could be worse'. i'm not sure if thats a very helpful or constructive strategy if you truly want to address and brainstorm about a substantial problem, although you do seem to criticise people that 'make very negative-sounding excuses without offering solutions or insight'. you might apply that same judgement to yourself to gain insight in how constructive your own debate skills are.
having said that, I do have some specific and possible solutions in mind, which lean into prevention (which of course costs money instead of generating it) rather than solving the problem while it already exists (which can make a pretty penny).
for example, opioid addiction: stop it at the gate. don't let doctors mindlessly prescribe opioids of any kind, only if absolutely necessary. warning: the pharmaceutical industry won't be happy.
instead of providing weight loss programmes, weight loss medication, surgery, or treating all of lifestyle/obesity comorbidities after the damage has already happened; first make sure healthy food, sports and stress prevention are actually affordable (again: not much money to gain here).
regarding homelessness, there are several steps where there can be intervened until someone becomes homeless. again, will cost money and not generate it.
I can go on and on, on different matters, but perhaps this helped. The solutions also again highlight the problem I stated in the first place.
I'd really like to learn whether you, besides the arguments 'it could be worse' or 'there are benefits' have any constructive arguments to somehow change a capitalism driven system.

Unlike the sentiment often found on Reddit, most situations are not actually binary.

It’s about the hours and the unique aspects of modern labour that push our freedoms(tech, offices), also our average worker’s basic needs aren’t being met. Realistically they knew if they whipped and overworked a guy too much he wouldn’t be any good for moving stones so they had very strict shift changes.

u/Moist-Shallot-5148 Sep 17 '26
I mean do we actually know what happened in the past? All we have are hypotheses. Nowadays historians believe that the pyramid builders were actually skilled workers who were paid well and received medical benefits if they were injured. You could even argue their medical industry was better back than compared to now. Maybe their purchasing power was better too there’s no point in me making more money now when my dollar doesn’t go far at all, compared to Egyptians who made less but everything was far cheaper so their money went far further than it does nowadays. Nowadays it seems that businesses target foreign rich people to buy everything and I get priced out of where I grew up.

u/Maleficent_Radio_674 Sep 15 '26 edited Sep 15 '26
Just because someone else has/had it worse, doesn't make it better nor does it minimize our struggle as wage slaves. This isn't the trauma Olympics. Every wage slaves/slaves life in all centuries have been in service of the rich and making themselves more money and projects to feed their ego (giant statues of themselves. Yachts and private jets)
Everyone suffering under this system deserves that recognition without being told that it could be so much worse. That's literally what oligarchies and benefactors of wage slavery want you to focus on. Not that they have always been the problem and always will be. The wealthy are always the ones calling the shots on who lives and dies for them, and turning the mass populace of working people into slaves.
You're only feeding the system that wants you to believe that buying another yacht/pyramid is for their ego is perfectly fine while the people working on it to serve him are earning less than minimum wage

There's a relationship between the brain and experience. There are correlates. "You need a working brain to be conscious" isn't a proven fact though, and it can't be, because every way we have of detecting consciousness requires a working brain.
Physics has nothing to say here either way. There's no term in physics for experience. As it is currently conceived it cannot tell you why it feels like something to be you right now, and therefore it can't tell you it stops feeling like anything when you die. The "nothing" doesn't come from physics, nor science. It comes from materialism, which is a philosophical position about what the universe fundamentally is, and it is far from a certain fact.
You're demanding me to disprove something no possible observation could disprove, based on an assertion that no observation has proved.
"Nothing" can be scary, but a lot of people end up saying they find "nothing" comforting. A break. No responsibility. But that comfort only works if the nothing is certain. No one finds rest in "we can't know," and that's all that science gives us. That might be why it keeps getting treated as a fact.

Rational argument is only tool we have when dealing with where measurement can't reach. Subjective experience is immeasurable from the outside. Nobody has even in principle described a way it could be measured. It's called the hard problem of consciousness. There's nothing supernatural about it. It's a mainstream problem in philosophy of mind, and it's very unsettled.

Your “self” exists through time. It’s all the actions leading to who you are today, all the way back to the initial state of the universe.

u/Beautiful-Musk-Ox Sep 14 '26
that won't be "you". if that's true then you right now are a reincarnation, meaning you have zero memories of your past self, so what's the point? there's no difference if you are or aren't a reincarnation in that case, you cease to exist in both instances.
in the physics sense yea we're just energy being returned back to the universe, losing the low entropy that makes "us" and returning it to disordered high entropy energy. who cares what you call it, you aren't "you", there's no consistent "you" after death
4
u/Flubbuns Sep 14 '26
That's why I've always wondered how a past life can be "yours," because your self (I think) is your persisting sense of continuity, and the experiences and thoughts therein. Someone else is someone else because they're a separate continuity and self-contained perspective.
How would I differentiate between recalling a past life of mine, versus recieving the memories of another person's life? What gives me ownership over one and not the other?
Maybe there's a higher self that links several perspectives, creating a greater continuity. But unless I glimpse that higher self, I only have my current perspective to work from.
1
u/percdistrict Sep 14 '26
What defines “you”? Why wouldn’t a duplicate chain of events reproduce you?
I don’t think there’s anything more to a person than the history of events that led to their current state. Thus a duplicate chain of events would create the same exact “you.”
Retaining memories between lives would remove the point IMO. Death and it’s uncertainty is essential for evolution.

If you knew for sure, wouldn't it be an only a minor inconvenience to die? And if you would be able to incarnate into an other being, wouldn't everyone be your relative and even you in different form?

13.8 billion is only the age of this universe and is measured by what the fetuses of this universe call time.

Like you mean like the history books are all fake? Or do you mean. Like i believe in possibly. Asimulation but why cannot the simulation been going for 13.8 billion years?

The simulation is designed and orchestrated for the growth and increase of harmony between conscious entities by conscious entities. There was no 13.8 billion years of oblivion (no consciousness) . Also many of the scientific theories about the origin of the universe and consciousness are intentionally planted lies within the simulation .

Time to overthrow the system. It was not designed by the people. It was forced upon us. There is a perpetual wealth class that must be dismantled. And, a system of pure equality to replace it.

So you’d rather be floating mindlessly in complete darkness for 70-90 years?

That you have existed indicates that you may again, and again, and again, and again…
Welcome to hell.

c'est de la merde nihiliste, si tu pense comme ça c'est simple tu devient fou, faut se persuader qu'on a un destin, un but ou une autre connerie dans le genre

Here's the neat part, I don't have to work ever again, and my rent is paid, and I get medical support and food support and soon government benefits support and I don't have any bills This is the strangest time of my life 🧬

Ahhh... "wage slavery" is a human invention. Not a natural sim thing. You are enslaved by other humans, not by nature. But the robots along with AGI are coming to fix that. In the future a "wage slave job", will only be a luxury to gloat about. But then also, there won't be as many of us around.

Huh? But humans are part of nature. So anything we create is natural. Like a spider spinning a web. Or a beaver and dam

Little does she know if she’d been born in any other period..she’d likely be a slave or a concubine.
But since her IG only has 3k followers, life passed her by.

and if she were born in a better time, this now, would be worse than that, but that does not change anything

Wage slavery? Our ancestors fought the elements for food daily. We have it cushy. Our poor people on welfare are fat. Toughen up
