Discussion After death you are given an option to be born again as an average person in a country of your choice, Do you take it ?

[MeltingBrain]

To me the average life is just a different level of hell.

So i would choose to stay dead.

What would be acceptable life circumstances for you ?

 

[passivethought121]

Maybe Sweden. I wonder how good life would be if I was normal. Sure, there'd be struggle, but the struggle isn't part of the factory settings.

What would be acceptable life circumstances for you ?

I haven't put that much thought into it because I know it is an impossibility.

But an enormous amount of money would definitely make me reconsider.

 

[No1RegretsDying]

Yes. All I ever wanted was this.

My choices are either Poland or New Zealand. I will not further expand.

 

[movinout17]

With no mental or physical Illness, yes! Perhaps I'll wanna be reborn somewhere in Europe

 

[Nlis2244]

I would after a few years, if i could see how the world has become in the meantime. Then i'd choose a scandinavian country, or the Netherlands.

 

[Unhumanly.]

I want to rejoin with a part of my soul I have longing for at first, then we stay together and choose what place we will promise to live on next to each other in the next whole lifetime

Otherwise I'd be dead forever, fuck off life

 

[NeedAnEscape]

Well, if I get to return to existence and never experience the mental health crises that have made my life so abhorrent, then perhaps I would accept. If I had a next life, I would like to grow up in western Europe (potentially Spain or France) before moving to the USA to pursue job opportunities. I desire a cross-cultural experience, and it would provide me with a more sophisticated, communicative approach to others.

What do you mean by this ?

 

[Unhumanly.]

What do you mean by this ?

I know, it's complicated, I just wish to rejoin again with a part that complete my soul

 

[BlackMoon]

Yes, instantly, I'll probably choose Japan.

 

[Kundalini Guy]

No

 

[CPY]

I would like to be reborn in the USA but only if I get to be mentally healthy.I don't particularly like the government but the fact the US is so big and diverse there is pretty much every climate and landscapes available on earth all in a country that speaks the same language and has the same culture.

I like the idea of having the possiblity to move to a different state to restart your life

Also the fact they are too big to fail and there are plenty of jobs for everyone and the wages are good

Because of americans, people around the world have tech which has transformed how we live as human beings, I would love to contribute to that . On top US also has free speech, capitalism and less government which I really like . The healthcare can be a bit of the problem though .

pretty much every climate and landscapes available on earth all in a country that speaks the same language and has the same culture.

That's a great point .

No

Why not ?

 

[insideitsempty]

hell no
living in every country has its own cons, rather it be the ppl or the economy, everything will find a way to make me miserable
it would probably be better if i was reborn on a alien civilization on a faraway galaxy

 

[ijustwishtodie]

No. The average life sucks and I don't want any life at all, especially not the average life

 

[Misanthrope0000]

I wish, I'll take it, I'm poor in a north African country, double homicide, I would be really happy if I was born as an average American or European or est asian, although average may seem bad to the people here that already had the privilege to be born average in a first world country, to me, I'd be more than happy to accept that life

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

I'm honestly not sure. I can't think of a country I'd prefer living in over the US. Just being in this country makes so much media easier to consume by default. Some might even say I lucked out on the state I happened to live in too though I don't really think so.

Most likely I'd just choose to stay dead if that's an option.

 

[disjectamembra]

yeah sure i would like to be born again with no mental illness in another country. even though i hate living, there are so many things on earth that i love. i think i would like to live somewhere with mountains and big forests away from the city, so i guess i would choose somewhere in scandinavia maybe? but i dont want to be too cold so im not sure

 

[Rust]

Unless humanity fundamentally changes, it'll be a no for me. I don't see it likely that humanity will change though. It's hard to picture a world where people don't attempt to subjugate one another, where we don't go to war over childish reasons, and where we stop the cycle of repeating history and all the pains that come along with it.

 

[enduringwinter]

Actually yes. Having an impoverished background, unusual family and from war torn country is the source of all my sufferings. I have in my mind a very clear image of the life I want to live and the person I want to be. It involves being born in a different country, to be a "citizen" and not treated like a pest, to a family that doesn't control and harm me like this. I want to be ordinary so badly, to be allow to exist.

 

[star.trip]

Honestly, no.
I've had a hard enough time in my life without having to go back to living again. If I have not been able to adapt, it means that I am not valid. The strategies I have tried have failed, in the end the only one responsible for my life is me because I am the one who chooses and acts. For me life is a constant struggle, I have failed and I do not want to repeat the experience.
Once is enough for me

 

[LunarLight]

Yes, all the more so as I could choose my country of origin, and especially as I would be guaranteed not to have a mental illness of ant sort. Don't know what country I would choose though, but definitely a developed country with strong welfare (health services, allowances…)

 

[NoPoint2Life]

No because this world is already crazy and it looks like it's heading in an even worse direction.
Anyone else notice this poll is closing in 2053?
This is may be the longest thread ever.

 

[cicatrezESP]

i couldn't. not only is being alive a drag 98% of the time, but being normal seems very draining, dull & boring (from an outside perspective 100%).

i'd hate to be content with mediocrity and i'd hate to be entertained by the convenient "simple" things in life (socializing on smart phones, using apps, going out to chat over coffee, working and going home to a family, only watching tv and movies and having basic interests). even if i was born rich, most rich people don't use their money in interesting ways and just want fancy houses and cars and choose the most boring options to flaunt their money. so i would opt out. i also just can't stand the way people live on this earth, i would only want to be re-born in a world that humans never existed in. or if i could be reborn as a herbivorous animal in the world where humans don't exist? that would be the ideal.
