Im afraid of death..

[wollet2]

I sort of agree except that time or the sequence of time, in the experiential sense, is based completely in the content of experience and memory, so it doesn't make any sense to talk about an "after" that doesn't have any connection to the "before" in content or memory. You might as well just call what you're currently experiencing "after."

Like, if there were some demon creating the moments of your experience one by one and then destroying them, it wouldn't matter in which order they were created. You'd still experience them as though they were happening in order from birth to death.

why do we experience life in linear time. just happened to be this way?

You lack Critical thinking if you don’t see the utility in overcoming this fear.

Because of the structure of the physical universe

In terms of free will I'm a compatibilist.

would you have any reason to think that the derival of a meaning/story (comprehensible to the human senses) from life being experienced linearly (like watching a film from start to end instead of jumping to random parts), has any meaning itself, is it mysterious to you. like we are supposed to experience a story?

Exactly. And this is why i have never feared death and yet people are always confused when i tell them this. Why the FUCK would i fear death when it is literally eternal NOTHINGness? There is no “black” you literally get deleted from existence i rather that than live on this putrid world amongst pitiful morons anyway.

You don't prefer that, because if you did, then you would kill yourself.

I mean, i’d rather that then there be an afterlife though.
