Which is also why I never understood the “you don’t fully die / your soul ceases to exist, when the last person forgets about you”. What happens when an archeologist digs up information on you thousands of years later? Does your soul just pop back into existence in the afterlife?

Yes. Any nonsense that people say to comfort themselves in the face of their mortality is automatically true!

i for one am betting on either humans or some other species in the far far future deciding to simulate the history of the universe and bringing back to life our simulated consciousnesses

so for the record: i consent, so long as i get a slightly larger weiner.
