Other AMA - Ask me (Someone irrelevant on this website) literally anything!

I wouldn't call it sad. The less people have to deal with, the more time they can spend thinking. More people thinking=more ideas. Mode ideas=more progress. And from a purely progress based standpoint, this is good. Its best to just accept it at this point so that you can understand and evolve WITH society so that it doesn't leave you behind.
I understand that. I'm just one of those people who prefers life without that much technology. I like old time things, learning about what my grandparents did. Our society is getting so locked into being attached to society that socialising has been a hard skill for the latest generations to grasp, that's the part I find sad.

Yeah. People getting hundreds of online friends while not having any actual friends in real life they can call for help or whatever. There are naturally sad parts to how our society is evolving but we as humans, have always been pieces of shit. There have always been problems with our society from even before we came up with word. So us having issues like this now is no big surprise. Pessimistic? Yeah I know. It is what it is though.

On a grander scale, people have cared less and less about their community/group/tribe, while paying more and more attention to themselves and their own development in a way as we developed. If this continues on, we might have a not so distant future where people only interact through screen, without there being physical contact for months or so. Scary huh?

I imagine our future being similar to 'Wall-E'. Pretty simplistic and common thing to say, but they hit it spot on, from my point of view.
 
Ooo that brings in another question; what do you believe happens when you die?
nothing. I don't really believe in any religion or whatever. No spirituality or anything. I think that if something cannot be proven by mathematics or be tested in a laboratory, it is probably not real. That is a gross overgeneralization of my point of view but you get the idea.

I think it's quite comforting to believe there's absolutely nothing afterwards. You can live your life how you want without feeling any guilt over the choices you make or worried that your soul will be trapped or something similar to that.

Yeah. Believeing in a god as a kid really fucked my perception of the world and left me in a state where I was not able to live alone out there at all. so I'm kinda glad I "Grew up" eventually ya know. It was just what worked for me and I don't blame anybody else for their decisions.
And yes its nice to live when you don't have the looming threat of being burnt for eternity in your head at all times.

I grew up in a school that would only teach us about Christianity most of my childhood, but from a young age I never actually believed in it, so I never had the worry of going to hell. But now, due to my lack of path and belief, I have no idea what I believe will happen. I'm just scared by the endless possibilities and the unknown. Which I know I can't do anything about, but it still haunts me.

Nothingness is both scary and comforting ya know. No worries or anything. Nothing bothering you. At the same time, you dont perceive anything. cant think. Its best not to think about such things. It just sends you down an endless spiral where you never reach a truth you'd like.

Yeah, I've experienced that many times. My mind racing with thoughts of doom and gloom, but all I want is reincarnation or a happy afterlife, which I know is very unlikely, but it's a comforting concept to me.

There is the "theory" of afterlife being a concept just for people to ease their minds about death. Its a lot easier to die when you konw ur going to heaven or whatever. Imagine being a parent and telling your kid that when they die, they go into eternal darkness... Maybe the gods were made up because of that... maybe the werent. I dont know.

Although this sounds disrespectful to Christians and their beliefs, but I can't help to think that the bible was a bunch of stories that were told and someone decided to make it into a strange storybook, got high or drunk and told everyone it was true. I don't know though. It's a pretty silly theory, but knowing humans, it was something stupid like that.
