The Case for Postmortem Survival

I never understood why this was such a forced conclusion. It seems like "super great" presupposes a condition where the "not so great" parts aren't really there anymore. So mapping boredom onto the "super great" situation seems a bit irrational, just in terms of the logic.

If it's "super great" then it seems more helpful to ask, why would boredom _not_ be a thing? For example. Maybe one can even learn a new way to beat boredom in the here and now.

> And are other people there? Yeah? Talk about a road-trip test of a relationship hanging out for eternity. No? Okay thats lonely.

This one also presupposes conditions like:

- Lack of empathy

- Inability to connect with others in a sustainable way

- Alternately, nobody's around therefore I feel bad

But again, this is a 1:1 map of present onto "improved circumstances," which doesn't make much sense.

It's been a long time since I've actually believed in the afterlife myself, but I still don't see why it's necessary to project so much of the known world onto something like that, especially given the blanket-positive postulates so frequently established right up front.
