Over the last week my new handles at online chess sites have been “cadaver25”, “corpse25”, and “deceased50”. Am I dead or just playing dead?

I don’t think you’re dead. Why is it that you feel you may be?

It’s more that I feel like I don’t exist except perhaps as the human equivalent of an unicorn.

If you were dead you wouldn’t be on this site

Practice grounding techniques

For all I know you could be a university testing an AI in our forums.

I prefer to think straight i am alive.

Maybe this is what the afterlife looks like.

I know you say that in jest but you’ve got a very good point there.

Personal preferences are fine.

I sometimes wonder if we’re not living in a simulation? I think the arguments to that effect are compelling. In any event, I feel and seem to be self aware with a sense of volition, so I’m going to try and live my best life within the parameters I find myself in, no matter if the life turns out to be real or not. It’s more fun to play the game than obsess over the game’s rules.

What’s an Al? I don’t know.

I am the only one who said yes out of 28 people

Oh well.

Seriously though, I have considered that we’re all dead and living in hell already many a time, but that’s another story

@Joker why do you think we are living in hell?
I think the opposite, my life is heaven, my life is a dream.

My life is a dream till karma tells me otherwise.

Because I watch the news sometimes, and there has to be a better explanation for why people do what they do to hurt each other.

This world is full of pain. Only the few get to enjoy themselves

@Joker why do you watch the news?
I think you should change your life strategies and then your life will improve.
I recommend that you try to avoid current affairs and politics.
