  • What bums me out about the idea of nothingness is the idea that I’ll never know what happens AFTER I’m gone. It’s like the ultimate FOMO
  • @pyran4663
    being a ghost alone is D tier but if your homies also become ghosts when they die would be S tier
  • @tylerhaunted
    The idea that we are in an eternal loop and our entire life no matter how we lived would just be repeated sounds like a living hell.
  • @rfn8821
    infinite loop is for sure D tier. imagine dying at birth, you're just being spawn camped for the rest of eternity
  • @noobyplayz2840
    imagine being born, someone drops you by accident, trips, lands on you, you die (after like 20 seconds of being born) and infinite loop happens
  • @arbeitstitel1358
    I love the fact that we will never know what actually happens in the afterlife, and that we can continue making theories about it forever
  • @fastumdesu
    You're looking at the idea of heaven from a human perspective, but the whole point is that your immortal soul doesn't work the same way as your physical body, so you can feel good forever without getting bored. If such a thing as "soul" exists it's automatically an S tier lmao
  • @BritMonkey
    The best afterlife is the ancient Mesopotamian afterlife where everyone goes to a desert of eternal twilight and eats sand.
  • One With Everything is terrifying. You’d experience every murder and torture in human history.
  • @ryanlee5512
    The only thing that comforts me about death is that everyone has and will experience it. So I know I won’t be alone in that sense.
  • @BruhBruh-ws5zu
    I like how something as profound as life after death can be confined to something as simple as a tier list
  • @enavoid
    "I like existing a lot, but this is also the perspective of a guy who exists, which is definitely biased." This made me laugh
  • @Alright281
    My grandfather passed away Monday, so I'm watching videos about afterlife to cope with it
  • @johnrockyryan
    "To die would be an awfully big adventure" - Peter Pan A quote that has stuck with me for a loooong and its a great outlook instead of thinking of death as the end think of it as a new beginning to something potentially beautiful.
  • That 6.5 minute discussion on nothingness went so hard, I forgot that this was a tierlist
  • i feel like a perfect heaven does not allow for boredom, if it's boring it's not perfect
  • @JesterBars
    This made me realize just live your best and be your best because you’ll always get the best outcome
  • @lwdrd
    Shit like this gives me some wacky panic attacks, almost had 3 before i was halfway through with this video. its honestly nice seeing someone so casually talk about shit that I dread to think about, as much as I try to put my mind at ease by just saying things like "the human mind just isnt made to think about things like eternity" it still scares me.
