But I don't remember what happened before I was born and that doesn't seem bad, so I guess I must assume that it will be similar to that, if not the same. I have a subjective sense of a state in which I am not alive, I will assume without penalty that the latter state will be the same. Next question!
Hmm...ok....
Will I suffer the same fate?

I am still waiting for your reply.
Sorry. I went to bed.
Will you suffer the same fate? That's kind of a loaded question. Will you suffer? I have no evidence to make a claim either way about you. I can't say anything about anyone's "fate" either because I'm not a fatalist. However, I do have good reason to think that eventually, I will die. I described my opinion of what I believed death to be like, and why I thought that. As for you, another person? I don't know how you view things. My entire description of death was based on my own subjective experience. If what I said made sense to you, and my reasons were good enough, and you were able to relate to them, then perhaps you adopted my view. If you did that, it's very likely that you would be expecting the same outcome. But, I can no more predict your future with any degree of certainty than I can my own. So, to ask me to predict your fate is really quite beyond my ability. Fair enough?
