>>12961984>The mere fact we were all nothing for billions of years then one day suddenly popped out of our moms is proof that there is something else, at least surrounding our own existencethis can be recoinciled with materialistic reductionism easily. imagine that either time or space are in some way shape or form infinite, and regard your subjective experience coming into existence as a potential that can be realized. Now if time is endless, everything that can happen will at some point, and has done so since forever, and will continue to do so. now if space is infinite, either through an infinite sea in which universe bubbles get created, or through a multiverse that exists in a higher dimension, or whatever concept of infinite space you can pull out of your ass, then your subjective experience is bound to come into existence in one of them. Thus you may or may not also be immortal in a sense, as it could imply that your subjective experience can be "reborn" in another point in infinity, and has done so infinitely before.
