<p>So you will experience something then, if you say that you experienced this nothingness before you were born :D ;)<p>What I was aluding to is that people have  profound consciouss experience when they are dying. Even clinicaly dead people with zero brain activity. But even if EEGs can't detect extremely low brain activity, it's still weird to have such rich experiences.<p>I would have never found metaphysics in my life, if i didn't have a few unnatural experiences. I would not find the big explanatory gap between experience and matter, which is so obvious to me now. I would still be a materialist while not even knowing I was one, like many here in these comments.<p>Before I was a materialist like you and I was not afraid of dying, because like you, I thought it's just lights out and I am no more, so I can not suffer. But now I am more afraid od death, because of the unknown that follows.</p>

<p>> And the afterlife also sucks apparently (although I don't personally believe in an afterlife).<p>Why don't you believe in the experience after dying ?</p>
