That is my point, and true I do not know, but it is a thought.
The idea of an afterlife contradicts our experience so you'll have to gather more evidence to support its existence. Accepting the idea of an afterlife as a default position and suggesting that we are only unaware of it because we are all collectively subjected to some cosmic chemically induced mind fuck is intellectually dishonest.
Not everything that can be imagined is possible.
