DEAD Talks with David Ferrugio engages death a little bit differently. Each new guest shares their experience with grieving or perspective on death in a way that shatters the “don’t talk about death” taboo. Grief doesn’t end, it evolves. Having lost his father on September 11th when he was 12 he learned the importance of discussion and sharing other people’s stories. Grief, loss, death, mourning, trauma or whatever it may be, DEAD Talks Podcast hopes to make it a little easier to talk about. You may cry; but, you also may laugh.

Aye naah u remember in one of his episodes he was like you can’t remember nothing because of what’s going on in your Brain, like when you is 6 years old you can’t remember nothing when you was 1 years old it’s probably just the same thing we did have concussions we just don’t remember because we go threw life and we live threw life because most of people that said they died have different experiences in that’s what I’m saying why I think what he saying is not true
The peace of absence of existence is beautiful and the only thing that gives me " faith ". And hope.
How can you be freaked out coz you wont " feel "? That is the absence of ego. That is beautiful.
New einstein for youtube huh
the way I can put that ti make me feel good about it is if thats how it is time would be instant. like if theres reincarnation It would just be dying here then straight to next body no matter how much time passed or if theres nothing, experience no time because my consciousness would be off
God killed me last night in my sleep, he gave me a sign of what’s to come after death then he gave me back my heartbeat and I woke up terrified inside. It was the realist thing that has ever happened to me, I was not dreaming, I was stuck in my own mind and could not open my eyes, the instant I knew I was dead everything went pitch black, not just like a dark room, I was stuck only in my mind, not able to speak and was in a black empty space I can’t even describe it that’s why I haven’t talked to anyone about it yet. I was stuck in a void in time; alive but dead, stuck in my mind and trust me it’s not how it sounds, it was terrifying because I knew I was dead, stuck like that forever. I really wish I could explain things better.
Tyson is dumb as a rock.
Educated but foolish.
Let's take just one thing he says here as an example of how absurd things he says are.
He says to the 34 year old man here that " 40 years ago " the man wasn't lamenting that he didn't exist, had no thoughts…upset that he didn't exist, having an absence of existence then ( 40 years ago ).
With that said, Tyson states that his future, " absence of existence " is to him, the same in that just as someone does not fret and lament not existing back then, he feels the same about that he won't exist after death and so does not feel sad or lament that future, after death, " absence of existence."
He is trying to tell the world that is logically how they should feel also, in other words, no need to lament that one will not exist after death.
Now, taking into account a materialists mindset as Tyson does, his reasoning is absolutely idiotic. It is just an obtuse line of thinking.
Why?
Simple:
If you did not exist before birth, you had no experience yet.
Lamenting that pre-birth existence would be silly. CORRECT Dr. Tyson! 👍
That is logical.
However, lamenting that you will not exist after death us absolutely a logical thing to conclude people would do Neil.
Why?
Because Neil….death after physical existence means that people will have no more experience of love, life, friendships… travel, learning, hobbies, listening to music, having conversations, cooking, eating, sex, daydreaming, walking on a beach, seeing a fresh snowfall, feeling your cat purring on your lap, laughing, running, staring at the mountains, THINKING, imagining, planning, working, creating, hugging your children, your wife, your parents, reading a good book….etc., etc. , etc., etc., etc. .
With DEATH, all that LIFE that a person has ( when having a materialistic view of existence and the universe as Neil has and believes we all should have ) will be lost, gone, annihilated after death.
So lamenting that one will die and be losing all his or her's LIFE is a totally logical and a perfectly reasonable thing for humans to feel!
Neil, you are thinking but not….THINKING.
O K…..but …..what if you're wrong?
You know, about that the physical universe is ALL there is?
Do you not ponder……or I'm sorry lament on that?
True
Um he said he's 34 not 40 like wtf?
I know…..I will be forgotten….but…who isn't?
Who truly can say they died with a genuine smile on their face
I think there are so many cases of people who have died & came back with what they saw or very young children with past lives stories,
I had my own experience with my mom who was dying & who saw my dad , grandmother & uncle who have past on & talked to them like they were in the room , she told me they want her to go with them ,it s ironic she didn t mention anyone who was still living & my grandfather when dying ,said his best friend Charlie ( who past 2 months before him) was in the room , waiting for him to go with him ,
Also a few years ago ,I was sitting in my room with a friend talking & I saw another friend s face appear for a few seconds & then disappear & I told my friend who was sitting with me what happened, a few minutes later my mom came into the room & said “I have bad news, your friend John just passed away” the one whose face I just saw, i was in shock & the friend I was sitting with was visibly shaken & left because of what I told him,
So , from personal experiences , I tend to lean towards, there is something else, maybe another dimension etc… but I feel there IS something
Ask this if everyone is scared of death reply to me but here is something that ended my fear of darkness we can’t create ourselves right so someone created us if someone didn’t create us we would being darkness but how are we living cause someone made us meaning they’d something after death and don’t try and figure out what happens cause we would be in darkness if we weren’t made so there’s something after death and god made us
Physics says otherwise
so there is no reason of concern. Live in the present
This is true I think about this every time I awake and I hope good things
Before life, I remember morning but darkness and visuals. Idk if this was me dreaming as a baby, but it was peaceful.
Oh boy, is he in for a big surprise lol.
I feel like we decompose and end up back in somebody nut sacks …eventually … new body new brain same conscious ! 🤷🏾♂️…thats why we dont remember anything …its just a hard reset
Well, you're going to hell I guess.
But nothingness doesn’t exist
Once you are born, you become an eternal created being. The greatest teacher Himself said: Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice. John 5:28. Be ready!!
I used to think like that, but I was wrong
He's wrong. Many times in my life have I thought about my existence or lack of, before I was born.
No answers.
Same as "where do I go after I die".
You sooooooo smart tho but doent believe in the spiritual realm. ? Scientists now even ssys GOD is 100 percent real
the atheists who say "cherish life while you are here" dont understand what they are saying. Thats like saying enjoy that movie your watching and cherish it while you can cuz your memory of it will be wiped the second you hit the credit roll. Whats the point of watching it? Do you not realize how short 70 years is? In 100 years everyone who watched this video will be dead. If there is no God then what does it all mean? Idk. If I am to return to nothingness after death then I see no point in living. I wont remember my life you wont either my family wont no one will remember anything so in return it IS pointless to live. So what if you "cherished it" and? You wont remember that you cherished it neither will your family. This is why God exists. There can be no love without God. Jesus loves yall.
In the very distant future, billions of years from now, the Sun is expected to expand into a red giant. During that process, Earth will likely lose much of its material or be destroyed entirely, so essentially all of Earth’s atoms—including those that were once part of every living thing—will be dispersed into space. Pick cremation or burial your atoms still reach the upper atmosphere and escape into space either way.
