So, Austin and I spent a chunk of the evening talking about the nature of human existence and the nature of oblivion. The best thing that can happen in a conversation is thinking about something in a way you hadn’t before that moment, and the best best thing is having a realization. You need a body to experience the earth and a brain to remember it. So when you leave your body and your brain and everyone you have ever known behind, what happens? Can you conceive of the oblivion that comes with experiencing nothing? Expect a lot of existentially fraught quotes tonight.
