RE: On Death, the Immortal Soul, and the Paradox of Morality
You might find this intriguing. We are both materialists, but that premise doesn't rule out the possibility of life after death as most assume. I've actually written a great deal about the topics discussed in this article, but don't want to overshare without invitation.
You are totally invited to overshare, undershare, or just share to whatever degree you want. I read your post and it's really interesting, though the sadness underneath it is touching and heartbreaking all at once, knowing what you told me yesterday. So many television shows and movies touch on the possibility of (recreated) life after death either in physical form or in simulation form these days, probably because, as you said, it's really only a matter of time since it's physically possible and enough people want it. Altered Carbon, Westworld, Dollhouse, and Black Mirror are just a few that come to mind.
Alright. If indeed the universe is a simulation, I have what I feel is a plausible suspicion about what it's running on:
What the Message Was For Me
Omega Point: The Meaning of Life
Those two articles explain the same concept but from different angles. Anything in one article that's unclear should be clarified by the other.
Concerning morality:
Defining Good and Evil in the Absence of a Divine Law Giver
Nazis, Computers, and Critical Thought
The Timeless Wisdom of Gentleness
That's enough for now. I've also written reams upon reams about why Abrahamic religions are false, but it would only be preaching to the choir.
