It's true that when people die, they get a new life as a new person, in terms of the person's vision (what we see from our eyes)?

Have you ever had a dream that you, um, you had, your, you- you could, you’ll do, you- you wants, you, you could do so, you- you’ll do, you could- you, you want, you want him to do you so much you could do anything?

That’s so fucking random that it made me laugh audibly. Thanks.

If you are reborn as a new person with none of your previous memories, then does it matter that it's still "you"?

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

[–] fjordbasa@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

You’ve got to be kidding me. I’ve been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that? My guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like. It’s just common sense.

You're speaking of reincarnation? There's not really any reason to think that's a thing in consensus reality.

So why does overpopulation/underpopulation exist?

If you Instantly respawn as you die would that not mean there's a finite amount of people on the planet?

Otherwise new people can't exist without someone else dying.

With your logic the ratio is 1:1.

In reality the ratio is higher or lower which determines over/underpopulation.

That's how I see it.

Some religion believes that a soul can reincarnate into non-human anmals such as pigs. Or even inaminate objects. If a soul gets whipped in hell it can vanish.

So at least we now solved the underpopulation problem.

And do you know that some non-human animals can upgrade to humans or even gods if they consume holy food/drinks, or 'charged' by holy relics such as sacred stones?🤭 Yeah, that creates new souls!

Animal populations have been dwindling for years while the human population soars. Perhaps all those humans who were animals have been ranking up lately?

You're thinking of it wrong. It's all the same person.

Why and how would we know if something like that could be true? Like imagine I say, yes! When we die we get a new life and such and such. Or, no, we die and we go to heaven and play the harps for eternity. What kind of evidence are you accepting to take something as a truth?

[–] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

What even is "you"?

[–] blackbrook@mander.xyz 3 points 3 weeks ago

The way you used pronouns, 'they' and then 'we', suggests you are asking if they become a new person in the eyes of us who haven't died. Is that really what you meant?

[–] theywilleatthestars@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

How would we possibly know?

I hope not, I wanna become a corpse and fertilize some cool plants.
