Eternitas Ex Deletis

 📂 View Category: Methods of Eternity

Eternitas Ex Deletis or "Eternity from the Erased" is one possible Method of Eternity discussed here.

Premise

The basic idea is that you are experiencing things currently in this universe. That tells you that universes can exist where your egonaut can come into being and experience things.

Even if our reality were a simulation, it wouldn't change this fact that your current experiential existence shows that you can come into existence as something that can experience.

Now imagine that you die, and a googolplex raised to the googolplex years pass and another universe has come into existence like ours once did. There is no longer any record of your past universe, let alone the body your experience was once generated by or that your egonaut was the one experiencing its experiences.

What mechanism could this far flung universe in the unimaginably distant future possibly utilize to negate what we already know is possible? Namely that a universe like ours has already shown itself capable of generating your existence?

No transfer is required: all that needs to occur is what we already know can and did occur. To refute this, you should propose a mechanism that prevents universes where you become sentient from existing, as if the existence of the universe in which you currently reside doesn't falsify such a mechanism from the start. This principle is discussed in more detail in Doctrina Ultra.
