One thing we all have in common is that we’re going to die. For most, that knowledge produces great existential terror. We want to live forever and be reunited with friends and family in an eternal paradise. We want to hear Janis Joplin singing in a band with Eddie Van Halen and Neil Peart!
But what science has taught us about the brain and our experience of selfhood implies that life has no sequel. Stephen Hawking famously compared the mind to a computer and quipped, “There is no heaven or afterlife for broken-down computers; that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark."
In this episode, Bill and James discuss how humanity’s belief in life after death has evolved over time, spawning a wide range of religious ideas from Heaven and Hell to reincarnation. We also debate if this obsession with death detracts from living a good life in the here and now. Can the awareness of death be leveraged to enrich our lives on Earth?
