❝ i’ve been thinking the thing about a lot of religion is that like— they— they have this promise of an idealistic afterlife. which is great, you know what i mean. uhm, i— i appreciate that it’s a way to give solace to all the individuals who have loved ones who have passed, you know? and, uh, if you are about to pass, uhm. i hope you don’t. i mean, i, uh, no, i mean in general, i mean like the people who know their time is about to come. finality. mortality. ❞
❝ i’ve noticed that there has been more of an upselling on the afterlife, you know? the condition that if you do this, this, and this in the best behavior… might as well. go ahead on to the afterlife. maybe that’s the thing about the carbon cycle. we’re all reincarnated in some ways, based on the materials. you know, the composition of our very being. and that’s a beautiful thing, you know? the spirit may not always be intact, and you know what, that's fine. maybe our spirit is in tact in physical ways. such as carbon. and our brain matter. [...] so, you know, i’ll be a part of the Great carbon cycle. i’ll be back. just in like… i don’t know, like a hamburger or something. ❞
