#102 I don’t think it matters if you feel it’s still a loss. Imagine a trip you never you would have but it is cancelled so you never knew of its existence and it never happens. You aren’t affected by it but it is still happiness you missed out on.
If so losses aren't realy a bad thing because you suffer infinite losses at every point of you existences/non existence

Well no, because any loss is potential good being taken away from you, whether you knew about it or not.

People used to think that when you die, your soul rose up, like a bubble in a 7up bottle...
#107 I don't think we are making anything up. We are debating if after you die you stoping to exist is a loss
#106 what I mean is that ate every point of you existing/non existing a infinite amount of good things can happen to you, and that means that you are experiencing a infinite amount of losses every moment. If that's the case anouther loss is not that bad.
#112 the living me does want to stay living forever. But I think the dead me doesn't experience any loss.
#113 I think there is a value only for the living not for the dying

#120 well I suppose the dead can leave behind a legacy that gives everyone value.
So they could of gave more value to the living therefore the people losing are the living
