I quite like the idea of Valhalla, so I'll go there. Drinking & carousing for ever sounds a bit a all right. If not Valhalla, then it'll be the the Elysian Fields (Elysium) for me.
I am currently doing an Open University degree in Philosophy. The essay I am working on now has the title "An immortal life would be a meaningless life." Is there truth in this? All helpful contributions gratefully received.
I only ask because I got watching summat on youtube (shut up..) and folk who'd 'died' in hospital etc who were then resuscitated had these amazing memories of all kinds of great/bad/strange experiences. Some were also able to recall things that were said around them (whilst 'dead') by doctors etc.
Nothing. So why are we here now? What's the point? I hate thinking this question, it makes my head spin and just depresses me. Just what is the point of any of it if it only lasts for a few years and then it's all gone. There is nothing. OK, I worded that badly, but infinity of nothing absolutely nothing, except for, if we're lucky 80 years in the middle of something which is totally pointless. There has to be something ... doesn't there?
We humans have always liked to think so but no there doesn't have to be something. If there is it is beyond the realms of human understanding of science
