#Non-Existence

[thephilosophyofsuns]

Questions for the Atheists:

Firstly, I just want to clarify that these are genuine questions. I'm confused about some of y'all's beliefs.

1. If y'all don't believe in an afterlife, if you belief we go into literally nothing, why are you afraid to die? It can't be because you're scared to leave people behind, because you don't exist anymore. You can't have regrets or miss people if you don't exist. Why be afraid to stop existing if you wouldn't even remember existing in the first place?

2. If you're an Atheist and support the death penalty, why? Non-existence is not a punishment. You're freeing the person from punishment by allowing them to die, based on the atheistic understanding of death. Death cannot be a punishment if death is non-existence.

Idk if these questions make sense, but I just figured I'd ask.

This street was never here...

We walk through non-existence together.

Hand in hand till we are forgotten by everything.

[loderlied]

anyone else absolutely horrified by the mere concept of aging not because of some beauty standards bullshit but because they’re horribly scared of death and getting closer to it each passing second or is that just me

System Stuff

(Sergei)

Quick warning. I am going to talk about what happens when am not Front. This is going to contain talk about non-existence. This can be a very triggering conversation sometimes for systems. Please proceed with this in mind. Thank you.

---

Don't know about other systems but for us, most of us are lying about what it is like when we're not front or cocon. We talk about what it's like in our headspaces and we describe our places to folks. We say old Sergei here has nice porch with cabin, like to sit in rocking chair and look at desert. Enjoy sweet tea with bit of whiskey in it while birds fly overhead. Is quiet there. Dusty, but quiet and nice.

Is lie. Is imagination. Is place would love to live but have never once been in headspace and actually been in this place. We have one headmate with actual defined headspace, otherwise there is some shared headspace (for when it starts to get too crowded - we interact around table, is nice table - and there is "viewing area" that is vaguely barely defined where everyone can stand together to "watch what's going on" if headmates are around, cocon, but not particularly "doing" anything) but no space of our own.

We all have imagination lands because momento-more - person who usually run this blog - ask us to come up with what they would be like, so we did and we write down a long time ago, but that is all we have. Imagination.

When we are not front, not cocon, and not involved in what is going on, we simply are not exist. Is not continued existence where we go from doing something in body, then having fun in our own world, then oh, back in body again.

We are in body doing whatever we are there for, finish what we are there for, then we are there again, figuring out how long has passed, what has go on in meantime, what are we do now, who are these people, and how long we have lived in new country.

We tell this to friend other day, friend who has known about this our condition for long time, and she not know. She was horrified.

Is not so bad, not exist. Hardest part is come back to life. Like Genie from Aladdin. He go **Poof** "What do you need" over and over and over.

Is not the non-existence that is difficult. Is super easy. We aren't scared of big black nothingness. We've all been there and know what's waiting. Is not scary. Is basically like nothing at all...

Everything is nothing. Which is really something.

[ryanranney]

What am I on about Now?

How can there be any existence at all? Surely what could be, is that there could be nothing at all. Who is to say that a thing exists, or doesn’t exist? As we see a thing come into being that was there before, do we say it was once non-existent and now it exists. Yet even this is only upon the perception of our experience of time, and without such an experience is there nothing non-existent, nor…

PSA: i keep seeing posts about staying cool in extreme heat that include advice like "gatorade is bad actually!" and "don't drink fruit juice it'll just dehydrate you!" and neither of these are true!

regarding fruit juice: there's apparently a misconception that Any Sugar At All will dehydrate you, and that's simply not true. yes, sugar will make you pee more when consumed in large amounts, but 1) the natural sugar in fruits won't do this to you 2) great news! a lot of fruit juices exist without any added sugar in them! 3) honestly even having a glass of the fruit juice with added sugar won't completely dehydrate you as long as you're also drinking water throughout the day. if its hot you deserve a cold treat of a drink!!! can't go wrong with fruit juice!!!

regarding gatorade: maybe this isn't an every day drink, but guess what: if it's 110F/40C or hotter outside, and you don't have AC, or you're moving around a lot outside of the AC, and you're sweating buckets: that's when you drink a gatorade.

gatorade exists to replenish all the electrolytes (salt) and glucose (sugar) that you sweat out. YES it is meant for athletes to drink during intensive work outs and not necessarily for people who aren't doing that kind of exercise. BUT GUESS WHAT! when you're sweating buckets because you had to walk to the bus in extreme heat, that's intensive exercise. please feel free to drink a gatorade after that! that's its intended use case!!!!

no: neither of these drinks should be a total replacement for water. but drinking a lot of water and then treating yourself to a fruit juice with lunch is a good idea!!! drinking a gatorade becuase you just had to walk for 20 minutes in the heat is a good idea!!!

Please Stop Spreading Misinformation About Drinks!!! It's fine if you drink things that aren't water!!!! Yes you should probably always be drinking water but drinking something else As Well isn't going to hurt you!!!! okay!!!! its fine!!!!!!

honestly so long as you are consistently getting Any (non-alcoholic) fluids in you, you're doing great!!!!!! okay!!!! i love you stay safe <3

no.1 clingy sukuna believer

you could be at your desk just reading over essays or paperwork and trust he'll find a way to linger near your desk. suddenly he's reorganising your papers claiming that it's too messy or that you dropped something off the desk. then you find him sharpening your pencils, making each one of them sharp enough to pierce skin.

then he huffs really loud once he realises that your eyes will not look up at him, glued to the paper you're reading.

'something wrong?'

'no.'

'why'd you keep pacing up and down then?'

'bored.'

'go find something to do then.' you reply in a sweet tone.

'i wanna do you.' Sukuna mumbles, his voice low enough for you not to hear.

'what was that?'

'nothing, let me know when you're finished.' he huffs leaving the room.
