Just the title. Heavens? Hells? Purgatory? Nothing? Become one with the universe? Reincarnation?

Bonus question: If you could design the system of your choice, what would you want?

    No more shifts at work, no more rent to pay. Pure bliss.

    If I didnt have big plans for my death I’d probably have intentionally ODed on heroin already.

    If quantum immortality is real, things might get really weird the closer to the end you get. The idea is if there is an infinite multiverse and our consciousness experiences one of them, then it could pick the “best” one, by some definition of “best”. In which case unlikely things that can keep your life going (and be worth keeping going) are more and more likely to happen as you exhaust the more likely possibilities that would end your life. Could be that each of us ends up immortal in our own universe, not really alone because other people are there but alone in that their consciousnesses aren’t likely present (unless your best unlikely future is also theirs).

        Somewhere. The general idea is that you’re not aware of any time you don’t exist, so if there is a reason why that would happen to me it would be instant to me. Or it’s actually nothing. No in between.

    I relinquish control of my atoms, at least to whatever extent I controlled some of them prior to death. And I no longer perceive or think or remember.

    If I could reincarnate into anything other than a human on earth, I’m not sure I’d want to retain memories of a past life. I’d hate to poison a new and different life with the baggage of a human lifetime, for better or worse.

    Mind uploading or cryonic preservation for possible future revival and treatment is a nice thought, but I would hate for evil billionaires to be able to cheat death, that seems like too big a tradeoff.

    Worms eat me. Worms poop me out. Worm poop provides nutrient to a few stray wandering plant and tree seeds. They grow. I’m a part of them.

    You either go to Purgatory and then Heaven, straight to Heaven or hell

      Sincere belief? What is heaven for you? What determines the destination.

      Edit: If you don’t want to explain it all, but you follow a specific doctrine you could just name it and I’ll look it up.

    My consciousness merges with the universal consciousness, which absorbs my memories to learn what it was like to be this particular organism in these particular circumstances. “I” will cease to be, and will become a personal memory of God, for lack of a better word.

    Perhaps that process will take some subjective time, and go through interesting phases. Perhaps part of that process is recirculating through multiple vessels before total dissolution.

    Do you remember what its like to be asleep? Well, being dead is just the same, but for longer, and probably with fewer dreams.
