This is of course an incredibly disheartening grim outlook on the afterlife, but I haven't got any evidence which supports otherwise, and when I find that, I'll more than happily accept it.
Maybe I'll find it before I die, that'd be nice  |
I agree.
The upside of this belief (other than the knowledge that according to occam's razor it is most likely to be true) is that one will be more inclined to do something with themselves, knowing that this consciousness you have now is not a step on some ridiculous path, but that this is it, and you should treat it as such.
