Yeah ... the lawyer putting your excavated remains on trial for "hate crimes" will be reading it.

as I soar away in a higher dimensional world to come, barely even remembering the being I am now

Smitty will return along with the revived Army of Northern Virginia at the plains of Megiddo.

I don't think you look back when you pass over to the otherside

I think you keep going, evolving into something new, at the foot of the Lord

soul making machines, this world is simply a childhood

Those are just the players today.
Mexico, South America in general, North Africa ... all have a shot at building a functioning meritocracy.
It only takes one.
One nation goes meritocracy while the others have governments backing the losers against their winner and what happens on a long enough timeline?

What if you do look back ... but the spiritual distance you need to travel to get back is greater than two human lifespans?
No point coming back then - everyone you know will be dead.

I think you will evolve into something so different, you won't even relate to it as you do now

time will have no meaning, you wont feel sorrow for a lost past, you will be going forward like a shooting star

That would explain why there are no ghost sightings of people who died in, like, 2007.

Dude, I've put time into this theory.
It covers a LOT of territory, provides a lot of answers.

[Smitty-48]

something will replace four dimensional space-time

there is something beyond that, but we simply cannot conceive of it in our soul making childhood minds

in this world you become who you are, in the next world you become what you are

Heavy bong hit, wot?

That's been my take against atheists from day one.
Ants can't do algebra.
Cats can't comprehend cars.
So I'm not taking some evolved primates word on the nature of reality and eternity.

Our noodles aren't built for this problem. Pretending we know the answer is oblivion because we can't even really comprehend the question is pretty stupid.
