"Scientists: After You Die There Will Be Nothing"? Shouldn't that be: "After You Die YOU Will Be Nothing"? Even better: "YOU will be like you never existed"... Btw, Heidegger could not foresee that there would be such a thing as a virtual ego. I am referring of course to the internet, social media and having an avatar. All ingredients that make for a super ego, more powerful than your actual being. You could be a loser in life and a superhero in cyberspace. Below used to be my motto.
