Do you WANT there to be an afterlife?

[Antonio the Sixth]

I find some conceptions of the afterlife very appealing and would like them to be true, but I don't actually need to believe in any of them. Amazingly, for reasons I'm not sure I myself understand, I'm pretty much at peace with the idea of my consciousness ceasing to exist in any form.

There is something of myself that I would like to subsist, but that something is something that's common to all of humanity and that will endure as long as humanity continues to move forward. One thing I'd be afraid of is the idea that humanity might disappear or collapse into some dystopian nightmare.
