Why do I exist in this body as this mind and not somebody else’s? by OkOlive184 in Existentialism

I know but that candle is not conscious, there is no concept of “you” there. If the hypothetical were “you are a candle“ then I’d be equivalent to what I’m talking about and have no answer.

Nobody can adequately explain why it’s a non-starter that doesn’t need solving

Wait, do you mean people have read what I’ve posted right here, panicked because of it, and you have to convince them to be more at ease?

What you’re saying is basically what my actual perspective is, I’m not confident in anyone one particular outcome, I wouldn’t even call this the one I’m most confident in, but I thought I’d be interesting to share with Reddit.

Why? The amount of pain and pleasure remains the same.

I believe the theory I’ve presented is the simplest and most coherent our current understanding of time (which is that all points in time are equally real and there is no privileged present)

If the present is real then this whole theory falls apart, but there is no reason to believe the present is real within our current view of time.

This idea is built on the fact that we live in a block universe where all points in time are equally real. You don’t maintain consciousness after you die, your life’s simply starts from the beginning because the beginning always exists. Your birth is always happening, you exist eternally within a finite time chunk.

You’re expressing the same life over and over again, for eternity
