Death as missing out on life or future experiences
Many non religious people believe that when their current body dies they will never experience anything ever again. The science of superimmortality shows this to be very wrong. You are not only your current body. Your body just produces one of the many different physapaths or physipaths that will produce a consciousness that you will experience when they are actually created. What will you have missed out on because of death that you would have experienced if you had not have died? Superimmortality is better than living forever in most cases. This is because you are not tied to one body at a time or one set of experiences of one awarepath. Superimmortality predicts that a you can experience endless amounts of awarepaths without end. This is in comparison to the concept of immortality that limits you to just one awarepath. There is no problem with death because there will be the possibility of existing again. You can repeat good awaresections without having to experience bad awarepaths. You can experience enhanced awarepaths. You are not limited to just human experiences. You are not limited to experiences of just this reality. Within an experience machine you can experience any number of different understanding, fantastic, magical, illogical, historical, time travel, outer space travel, useful, etc., awarepaths. There can be many enhanced conscious versions of you that have your ixperiencitness that can and will help produce these desired awarepaths. They can be much better than caring gods. Religions may offer immortality but it will be a boring singular endless life, worshiping a limited, selfish, uncaring god with no diversity of experiences and only endless memories of the same old repetitive things.
Superimmortality predicts that you do not have to miss out on anything because there are endless amounts of physapaths that will produce all sorts of experiences that you will experience when they are created which gives us great purpose to survive into the future. To have a better future we need to take care of the earth and create good lives for others because many of these others can and will be you.
One aspect of human consciousness is its limited view of the self. We humans have little memory of most of our previous life experiences. We exist in the present moment. Sometimes this present conscious moment concerns previous events in our lives. These experiences are called memories of experiences that occurred in the past. To many people these past events are gone forever. This is not true for superimmortality. Since these previous experiences were created by the structure and functioning of the brain they can exist again when these physasections are recreated. The body theories will predict that yes these experiences can be created again but since they will exist in a different body, the original body will not experience these events. This is one area that superimmortality departs from standard wisdom. Superimmortality predicts that the structure and functioning of the body experiences itself. What does it mean for the structure and functioning of matter to experience itself but not a particular piece of matter to experience itself? A body has the ability to produce any ixperiencitness or part of any more complex ixperiencitness that needs more matter to produce the consciousness that the original body contains.
