I did get messed up by some anxiety and have these thoughts rolling through my head so I’ll leave it at cosmic horror warning.

spoiler

I’m not religious but I have thoughts about experiencing consciousness and what it is. I say that consciousness is independent of memory because we forget, clearly dependent on our physical body, etc. generally I do say that we don’t know consciousness so maybe it can be reconstructed (in the can’t rule out the possibility way)

So I can see scenarios were my conscious could pop into existence without my memories after I die (as I’m writing this I realized that’s nothing to fear).

I am trying to adopt healthier mindset of looking at everything in life as a quest, new things are a call to action, and that it’s okay if everything I do amounts to little in x number of years (worked out okay for ozymandias, right?).

Im probably just rambling because my life has got boring and monotonous along with actual fear of American politics.

    There are infinite numbers between 0 and 1, but none of them are 2.

    That is by definition though. 2 is impossible to appear between 0 and 1. I know already that it’s possible for my consciousness to exist and I don’t see a reason to assume it’s impossible to exist in the future. So, it becomes more like the Infinite Monkey Theorem. Technically, it’s possible for my consciousness to not appear again, but almost surely it will.
