ya know - I hate to turn serious on a thread (especially one of Kid's) but since we're diving into conceptual theories, here's a little bitty that a friend once tried to ponder.
He theorized that we are all actually already dead. What we perceive as being alive is actually our brains reinacting what WAS our life. His thought was that we live life at a speed that is conceptually quicker than what we think it is and that our brain functions even after we die. In essence, we are not conscious of our acts during our actual lives but instead our brain is catching up and revisiting what we did. What we say and what we do today has already been done and seen in a time frame before we died. So in essence, we are all already dead.
