Obviously hypothetical. Just curious what others would do.

    Here’s one.

    If when you’re alive, it’s said there are many versions of you, because everyone knows you a little differently and perceives things differently.

    Imagine when you’re dead, that every time you see someone, you each see your favorite/most known version of each other. So the example of HS sweetheart, they’d see you as a 15yo. Dead spouse, same, they’d see you how you last were and vice versa.

    You could be so much to so many people… Imagine how nice that’d be!

      Confusing as fuck is what it would be. What if my mum and the friend I hung out with for four months on student exchange and my favourite primary school teacher all meet me at the same time? They don’t know of each other’s existence and they know wildly different me’s. Which me would I be? Do I notice myself oscillating between personalities and bodies?

        Wouldn’t you agree they already know “2 different versions” of you already? Your mum would know you a lot better of course, and probably view you as more highly regarded. Same you, just different perspectives. And hey, in the afterlife, it could be totally different physics and understandings. Who knows.
