    A long time ago, my old therapist asked me what I thought would happen after I died. I told him I didn’t know and was ok waiting to find out when it happened. He pressed me on it and I said “ok, either the big switch flips and that’s it, or something soul-like survives, or the human mind dilates my final moments into an eternity because it cannot comprehend non-existence.” And then he changed the subject.

    This reminds me of that.

      or the human mind dilates my final moments into an eternity because it cannot comprehend non-existence.

      Gawdamm I never thought of that possibility. You’ve broken my brain sir/ma’am. I’m going to be useless for the rest of the day contemplating this.

        Based on the anesthetic I had a few years ago it’s probably not the third thing, but the therapist was annoying me.
