Life after death?

[Jenny A]

The state of being before conception and after death are indeed the same. But I wouldn't call life, life after death because there was no death. Death is transition from having been alive to not being alive. It's a one way street. First there wasn't a you, then there is, later there won't be. There won't be you again after that.

You flatter yourself too much by feeling so unique. It's my opinion. Person is a made up word by humans to relate to one another but what you are is actually a process.

You imagine me, as a chemical engineer, if I start naming my alkylation or gas phase processes as Alice or John, and once the reactions are over, the next time I do those same reactions I say that John and Alice are gone, I'll go insane pretty fast lol.

Of course, I am process. I grow, change, and die. I don't even die with the same atoms I began with. But the mere fact that humans can make up the word "person" suggests why analogizing a person to gas phase process is silly. When you repeat a chemical process does the next one have a new personality?

Your life is a result of a thermodynamically favored process that occurred and all I care to know is if that process is reproducible and sustainable.

Hardly, you care very much about your own result of a thermodynamically favored process, and you like and dislike other results of thermodynamically favored processes.

Besides, existence would be very limited if you could only experience it through one point of view don't you think?

New flash. You can only experience existence from the point of view of your current thermodynamically favored process. The part of you that can consider this question at all will die and be gone. That some of those atoms might later be part of another intelligent being is neither here nor there. It's just atoms here and there.
