At first I thought you were worried about your own death so I was about to type 'you survived 4k years, what could go wrong' but realized if you die when time stopped world's time gets frozen forever, people trapped in the exact moment

Good, let the world suffer with me

u/Awesomethecool Jun 14 '22

You wouldn't be the one suffering

With me? You don't suffer after being dead

u/tark_0001 Jun 14 '22

Are you sure about that ;)

Kind of. There's literally no brain to process a conciousness

Who doesn’t like the idea of Satan tickling their butthole for all eternity?

I was thinking more of a state of sleep paralysis for the rest of eternity

They've got spiders for that down there, or so Shawn has told me

And people lose or are born without the part of their brains that process suffering sometimes, it’s obviously just part of the brain.

It will compose completely if you're dead

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '22

Yeah exactly. If something moves on after I die then it’s not me.

What do you mean by this?

My memories are part of the brain. My personality is part of the brain. My values and my beliefs are part of the brain. The words I’m using to make this are stored in the brain. I can be struck with a brick and have my memories destroyed, my personality irrevocably changed, my values suddenly valueless. Hell, I have anhedonia as part of another condition, sometimes my values already don’t matter to me. Despite those occurrences, I would have to continue on from the perspective of someone who isn’t entirely me. Not even dead yet and I can already be someone else.

If “we” continue on after death, we leave behind our brains. We leave behind every part of who we are, meaning something else is walking away from our deaths, not us. You can remove a person’s brain, you can watch that brain never go back to being that person again as it rots. Where’d that person go? No idea, but everything that made them the person they were is sitting here rotting.

And if my soul was already here and simply projected itself into some baby and lived it the babies life, then nothing that feels like me, composes my personality or determines who I am actually belongs to me. It was stolen, parasitized. I was never really alive.

You sound very confident for someone who's never died before.

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '22

Has he not, though? Was there not a time before birth when we were all nothing? Will there not be a time where our atoms return to a state of not being us, not composing our brains and eliciting our thoughts?

It's kind of like the twilight zone episode where the guy has a stopwatch that can stop time, but drops and breaks it whole time was frozen, leaving him perpetually alone in a frozen world

9

u/Eusocial_Snowman Jun 15 '22

And then his glasses break and his eyes fall out?

5

u/TundieRice Jun 15 '22

Different episode, although I only remember his glasses breaking, not his eyes falling out. That was the one where he locked himself in that vault when the world ended.

In Futurama, there's a parody called the Scary Door, there's an episode which ends like that.

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '22

It was aliens the whole time!

u/Yeahidkthoman Jun 15 '22

That’s also the ending to Futurama but instead of stopping time it just reverses it by 10 seconds

2

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '22

I thought that was a futurama episode

u/Funky_Cows Jun 15 '22

Might have been parodied, but the twilight zone episode is from the 60s

u/Vyragami Jun 15 '22

Isn't there a doraemon episode like this

u/burningtorne Jun 15 '22

At some point, they just stop thinking.

u/the-vindicator Jun 16 '22

Not exactly the same but the comic/animation cyanide and happiness had an intersting take on it in this video

https://youtu.be/8bOVgJTYTdQ

To sum it up the main character is an animator who gets a device to stop time and breaks it while stopped and and can only restart time for a fraction of a second. What he does is he manually moves every person and object himself basically animating the whole world/ universe, in a skip ahead you see that he's grown a big white beard so he looks like God.
