It's true that when people die, they get a new life as a new person, in terms of the person's vision (what we see from our eyes)?

Have you ever had a dream that you, um, you had, your, you- you could, you’ll do, you- you wants, you, you could do so, you- you’ll do, you could- you, you want, you want him to do you so much you could do anything?

That’s so fucking random that it made me laugh audibly. Thanks.

If you are reborn as a new person with none of your previous memories, then does it matter that it's still "you"?

So why does overpopulation/underpopulation exist?

If you Instantly respawn as you die would that not mean there's a finite amount of people on the planet?

Otherwise new people can't exist without someone else dying.

With your logic the ratio is 1:1.

In reality the ratio is higher or lower which determines over/underpopulation.

That's how I see it.

Some religion believes that a soul can reincarnate into non-human anmals such as pigs. Or even inaminate objects. If a soul gets whipped in hell it can vanish.

So at least we now solved the underpopulation problem.

And do you know that some non-human animals can upgrade to humans or even gods if they consume holy food/drinks, or 'charged' by holy relics such as sacred stones?🤭 Yeah, that creates new souls!

Animal populations have been dwindling for years while the human population soars. Perhaps all those humans who were animals have been ranking up lately?

You're thinking of it wrong. It's all the same person.

[-] TootSweet@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

You're speaking of reincarnation? There's not really any reason to think that's a thing in consensus reality.

Why and how would we know if something like that could be true? Like imagine I say, yes! When we die we get a new life and such and such. Or, no, we die and we go to heaven and play the harps for eternity. What kind of evidence are you accepting to take something as a truth?

[-] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

What even is "you"?

[-] blackbrook@mander.xyz 3 points 1 month ago

The way you used pronouns, 'they' and then 'we', suggests you are asking if they become a new person in the eyes of us who haven't died. Is that really what you meant?

[-] theywilleatthestars@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

How would we possibly know?

I hope not, I wanna become a corpse and fertilize some cool plants.
