Do you exist?
If you agree that you exist....can you unexist?

As I understand, existence requires time and space. Could this (all we know, see, can study) be a simulation? No way to Know. Plank time is a necessity for the existence of _______________. I'd claim I exist, I reckon.

As for "unexisting", the "you" (in this case, "me") part is where I'd get stuck. Upon death, the first law of thermodynamics would = "my" energy would remain in some form - depends on what folks decide to do with "me", lol. But what was "me" would cease to exist. That is my best guess/interpretation. Thanks for making me think this morning.

Philosophy says it like this, "I think, therefore, I am."

Yes on both. Supposedly our energy goes on and ends up in the environment, but we are gone. Yes and Yes though for what you're looking for.

There is no such thing as an atheist.
There are just those of us who aren’t convinced by the proposals we currently have of what if anything exists outside the natural world.

Exactly. There could be something. I am an atheist when it comes to organized religion and couldn't be any more confident that is all just a bunch of bullshyatt. As far as an after life, a higher power, etc etc, I have no idea. I want to believe in a power in the universe. I think there is something, but not sure where fit into it, if at all. Maybe I am just part of nature and no different than a Deer.
