>Eternal nothingness. Just as before we came into this short being. Soon we shall all return to its bottomless sleep.
Well if you came out of it it wasn't so "bottomless" now is it? Yea, you'll die and disperse and return to the void and it'll be "just like it was before you were born" aka a transient soul sleep until you manifest again, and there's nothing you can do about it lmao

I've gotten pretty deep but usually never to the point where there is mutual understanding. Although I don't think that ever happens because we are all blocking others out and repressing our own knowledge, no matter how much we believe that we aware or comfortable. I hope that makes and I hope it's not too depressing but that's what I've experienced.
On the other hand I have had fulfilling conversations, sometimes with people who are not otherwise "academic". There are people who have insight that you might not expect, which is more valuable than intelligence. We always forget that people are as complicated as ourselves and not just an exterior. You have to dig very deep to learn something true and unique about someone.
Trying not to sound so pretentious here, but I have also heard people say things that would lead them to a deeper understanding before failing to follow the thought. You can try to push them in the right direction but they might not want to do that. Of course, we all have our biases and blind spots.
One important thing I have noticed is that there are certain people who will open up to these intimate discussions and others who won't. In my experience people who do are better people to talk to and be around. And of course there are some people who talk for the sake of talking. Maybe the other people actually do open up, or are just introverted deeply, but my intuition tells me that some people are more comfortable with intellectual vulnerability and openness. To me these people seem better and more worthwhile.
These conversations are obviously very rare and usually happen when people are slightly drunk or high so they're easily forgettable. Some people are lucky and meet friends who they can have these discussions with sober, which is a real privilege. I have two friends who I have this relationship with, but one of them went to Thailand for a year, and we only hang out when it's all three of us. Strange, but we are close and have been friends since early childhood.

Do you think if the Continental Congress decided to abolish slavery, could America have won independence and kick the South in the balls at the same time; just get both wars over with? I'd be ok if only the non-slave states secceded, left the Southern colonies in the stone ages, and then Anschlaussed them later.

>if you can't observe it, it doesn't exist
If there's absolutely no evidence supporting the existence and the existence of it explains absolutely nothing about what we observe, then yes, it's bordering clinical-retardation to believe it may just as well exist as not.

If you're going to base your likelyhood claims of the existence of monotheistic entities on epistemological uncertainty, there's nothing for that argument to stop there and you have to be equally open about tooth fairies and my omnipotent, omnimalevolent phallus.

If you go by evidence there's absolutely 0 reason to believe in the existence of god. Therefore you're a retard.

how's it hanging, agnostic-boi?
Do you like my dick? Do you want me to pull out before I cum in your mouth? What's that boi? You don't know for certain?

>Nice fancy words
I agree, agnostic is a very fancy way of saying REEEEEEEEETARD.

It has one syllable more and sounds very sofistikatet and interlectual.

>I've got some ideas about conscious experience existing 'forever'. In some ways I feel that death is a removal from a linear view of time.

I once thought that maybe the last moments of your life are experienced in a continuing dilation of time that asymptotically makes your experience of these last moments approach eternity. But that's probably not gonna happen.

And finished.

To the guy who requested download links for the rest.

Couldn't find a torrent, sadly, so I'm afraid you'll just have to deal with the DL cap and the shitty timers.
