Can you imagine what life would be like if you were never born

If you could imagine an entirely different life from what you lead, how would you want it to be?

Easy.

My current lifestyle doesn't have much to offer. The boring, mundane routine seems to be the only thing happening. If I could make amends…

That would be great!

Don't you think so?

See for yourself!

Imagine a life filled with:

as opposed to:

Imagine living:

as a child of one of the richest dude as opposed to living in:

Imagine traveling in:

your own private jet as opposed to:

I can’t stop stressing enough on the fact that the posh lifestyle only constitutes a figment of my imagination.

I really can’t live like I imagine.

My parents aren’t rich enough to afford these amenities nor do I earn to make any such claims(I seriously doubt my abilities, even after I start earning!).

These things are seemingly out of place, and I’d rather stop…

Imagining!

Imagine that you were born in a village. What would your life be like?

I just visited a village. The picture shows Peppara Dam in a remote area of Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India.

In village road sides, we can see nice homes, rarely we see car poach or a vehicle. But to the inner part of the village the situation is bad.

If I was born in village,

Disadvantages:

Less access to hospitals, good schools, restaurants, public transport etc.
All good schools/colleges are far from the place, hence I will have to either travel for hours daily or stay in a hostel.
With a very less number of towers covering the area, phone is not always in the range. That also means lesser internet connection
I might have born into a poorer family
Weaker aspirations for life as compared to a city girl.
Malnutrition among the poorer population.

Advantages

Lesser diseases, nature itself is curing in such areas
Better physique due to more physical activities
Better understanding of nature and surroundings.
Relaxed life
No ‘world turmoil'
Cows/goats can be inhabited
Beautiful neighborhood. People are connected. They celebrate together during festival seasons. This is the best part.

Imagine there is nothing after death. What would it be like not to exist?

For a human to not exist is to lack consciousness. Hence, the state of death famously resembles dreamless sleep.

When we acquire consciousness after having been asleep, we are aware of the gap that has occurred since our last instance of consciousness. This gap-awareness is due to our contextual apperception — our relation to the world and our memory of having been conscious before.

If you reflect on having been in dreamless sleep and its lack of consciousness, you will have some notion of what it is like to be dead. The sleep state for you not only lacked consciousness — it was utterly timeless.

Many people assume that death is permanent or irreversible — once you enter it, there is no subsequent awakening as there is with sleep. There is no known (or knowable) basis for this assumption — it is simply the opinion of a materialistic mindset.

It seems that a number of scientists think that — with regard to time — the nature of our consciousness is similar to the nature of our universe. That is, limited time is a feature of conscious awareness and limited time is also a feature of our universe. Like the consciousness we have between waking and sleeping, our universe had a beginning and will have an end — and its limits include the beginning and cessation of time. The "death" of a person is like the "death" of the universe and both are similar to dreamless sleep — the "sleep of Brahma" in Hindu theory.

Would it be an exercise in futility to try to imagine what life will be like in the year 3000?

I would say so. Many speculate the human race will not last that long, and I'm inclined to agree, if only slightly. Being that technology today was unthinkable just a couple decades past, it should follow that the technology of the next millennium will be exceedingly foreign to us. It might not be so, however. People believe we may be seeing the trend of Moore's law decline this century.

And society. Wow. Culture changes rapidly, we even divide them by decades. Imagine the evolution of over 100 decades of fashion, sociality, technology, sport, war, and politics. It would be mind boggling and frankly ambitious to think that far ahead, especially because catalysts for such changes are merely random events a lot of the time. Think about the Area 51 conspiracies, or 9/11. Imagine if a super volcano, asteroid, or magnetic field realignment occurred. So much happens in 1000 years, and more things happen every day today than ever happened centuries before. It has become impossible to track all the news and going ons just on the internet alone. Things will probably continue this way.

Anyway, you can see the problem. I await some good news about our species' survival in the meantime.

What does it mean when you constantly imagine yourself as you were an opposite sex?

What does it mean when you constantly imagine yourself as you were an opposite sex?

I think it depends on your reaction to it. I'll refer to “constantly imagining yourself as the opposite sex” as “Imagines”.

If you like the Imagines, and in the Imagines you are referred to as the opposite pronouns and possibly a different name, and you like it, you're probably transgender.

If you like the Imagines, but don't feel comfortable being referred to as opposite pronouns or having different genitals, you could be gay or bisexual. Maybe genderfluid if you don't mind it sometimes.

If you don't like the Imagines at all you're probably straight and cisgender.

You should consult actual professionals in real life if you believe that you're transgender, and should probably think for a while about your gender identity and sexual and romantic orientations.

How would your life be if you had been born 1000 years before you were?

Well, I’d have born in the year of 999′ and Brazil as we know wouldn't exist nor did europeans knew about the Americas (not even the viking this soon), therefore, given my european ancestry, all my odds of surviving in Brazil would depend of where I would live.

On this aspect I wouldn't be very lucky since I was born in the city of São Paulo, and in 999 I’m not sure about its existence as a city but I’m sure about its nearby inhabitants at São Paulo’s coast, Tupinambá people. (Tupinambá people - Wikipedia)

Tupinambá people, as Hans Staden (Hans Staden - Wikipedia) knows, had one peculiar aspect, cannibalism.

What I can assert is that if I were held captive at any moment of my life by Tupinambás, they would probably resort to that aspect since they would normally do that to its captives.

That definitely wouldn't be nice and I don't think I would be able to escape and then write a bestseller afterwards (Warhaftige Historia und beschreibung eyner Landtschafft der Wilden Nacketen, Grimmigen Menschfresser-Leuthen in der Newenwelt America gelegen : Hans Staden (1525-1579) : Free Download & Streaming : Internet Archive) like Hans did, and of course, this if I hadn't already died in the forest by any possible reason, even by mosquitoes given my unpleasant allergy.

Anyway, to illustrate my possible cannibalist death, you can see below with your own discretion Hans’ woodcuts about his moments with Tupinambá people at the 16th century:

Edit: Oh, don't know how I forgot to mention that I would really, really, really suffer without my dearest glasses whilst thriving through the jungles; or to be more specific, through the Atlantic Forest.
