I’ve been through some terrible things in life.
But yes, I’d still choose to be born. The universe is an amazing place, and despite everything that has happened and is going on, there truly isn’t anything as wonderful as getting to experience a small, brief slice of the universe.
To be able to make such choice implies that I already exist in some form.
And I’d probably be too afraid of non-existence to choose not being born.
Life sucks, but I also don’t want to “not-exist”. Its terrifying.
Can I just be a ghost floating around and just “chill” and observe? Perhaps in the company of other ghosts to talk to…
Non-existence isn’t scary, scary thing is losing your existence.
Yeah, I didn’t exist for billions of years and I’m fine…ish. idk what happens after though
Same thing that happened before. You were fine with not existing before hand.
This was my immediate thought also, whatever part of me that is making the decision already exists so this is the same question as “would you want to stop existing now?” the answer to which is an emphatic “no.” I’d exist indefinitely given the choice.
Yup same thoughts!
Funny you should ask because fetus me actually tried to hang myself with my own umbilical cord and they had to cut me out of my mom to stop me. So apparently i really wasnt looking forward to my time on earth.
Question, can I change my sex at birth?
Sure!
Hell yeah then!
No, your the gender you are now
Certainly yes.
No
Yes. If I’m actually some kind of cosmic being that can choose to be born yes, I am taking that pill. I’m taking all the experience pills.
Yes, but with better teeth.
I reckon so, yeah. Better than nothing, right? Been plenty of good with the bad. That’s about all a disembodied energy form could really hope for, after all.
Fuck no.
Now? No.
If I had the choice I’d wait a century or twoDepends. What’s the alternative?
Purgatory
What does that entail?
No alternative. You will not exist
naw
Even if my life currently is not bad, there are and have been bad times. Not existing is never bad. So no.
Not existing is neither bad nor good, existence is the experience of both good and bad things. Don’t only focus on the bad ones.
Yeah, it’s worth it. Plus maybe I can help.
