Tim Ferriss

Oh, yeah.

Well, I mean, I think Scripture, I think it doesn't matter if you're religious or not.

I think you should read Scripture.

I think there are different ways to approach it.

But, I mean, if something is sort of one of the foundations of Western civilization, it's like, yeah, maybe you should get familiar with it, right?

Like, if you haven't read the Constitution, maybe you should read the Constitution, too.

It's like, you know, the Constitution's a much shorter read, so maybe start there.

But... What do you think happens when we die?

What do I think happens when we die?

I find it increasingly difficult to believe that we simply have a machine that gets turned off.

So... I think that's informed by some of the experiences on psychedelics.

And I recognize I could take, and I think it's important, if you have a strong belief,

I think it's really important that you try to attack that belief with the strongest possible version of a critic's arguments, right?

I really think that's important.

If you want to become a better thinker and a better human, I think that's important.

So, I recognize that I could also make a bunch of arguments for why it should just be lights out.

But if I'm looking at

some of the documentation around near-death experiences, if I'm looking at, like, the sort of... the CCTV-like view from above where people are able to confirm things that happened, where objects were placed, what people said while they were clinically dead.

It's hard to explain that with, like, hypoxia and...

death rattle spasms in the brain and erratic neuronal firing.
