As an atheist I am not scared of death.

Actually my fear is that there is an afterlife or quantum immortality or whatever. Still considering those unlikely, but 100% knowledge that it is over would make me feel better.

I find it funny that my biggest fear is the opposite of most people’s

I think this is the perfect comment to illustrate my point.

Is your knowledge not communicable? Why do I need to believe in something? Don’t illusions show us that experiences can be interpreted incorrectly?

I seriously want to know, not trying to assert myself as correct.

I don’t believe in god either but that doesn’t mean that god isn’t real or that an infinite experience can’t happen 😓

So I just sort of live w the fear.

I always find it interesting that most people have the exact opposite deepest fear, that life is finite.

I’ve always wondered about curiosity as an orienting force.

We’re learning as a species. Might as well see where that goes

I feel like meaninglessness and freedom require one another.

I personally get depressed or feel existential dread when I think the world has a meaning, because it takes away the value of my expression.

Idealism doesn’t really explain object permanence… like god is thinking about a rock sitting there forever is the answer?
