>>20540020if death was permanent you wouldn't be reading this dumb fuck.
probably the biggest retardation and oversight in muh heckin based western thought/philosophy is birth.
they don't see birth, or think about it at all.
it completely btfo's the permanence of death or "unknowing void."
permanent/eternity means was always is and will always be.
so the fact that you're here proves that death is not eternal, because you wouldn't have been born.
you were "dead" before you were born too. 14 billion years passed, and that's just the time we can deduce/measure.
and what was your experience of it?
poof! here you are.
so we know that death is impermanent (because birth), so the question isn't is death permanent because that's totally off the table, but WHAT ARE THE CHANCES that birth, the subjective experience, is something that happens only once?
the chances of that are almost zero, like the chances of there being only one star or one tree.
i won't go much more into this but the sheer ignorance in the west of the implications of birth, even to an atheist, is one of the most boggling oversights. they scour the stars for life elsewhere because it's happened once for a fact here on earth. but when it comes to birth they say "nope definitely only once goy lol."
birth is a fact, and when you really start looking at it you become aware of a horror that death could only dream of. you're trapped, awake, waking up again and again, never sleeping. getting old sick and dying again and again and again.
