What a [[superatheist]] can say at a funeral. A [[mortalist]] eulogy will often talk about the accomplishments of the deceased person's singular life. A religious eulogy will often talk about the deceased person's being in heaven with god and all of his previously deceased loved ones. The superatheist believing in [[superimmortality]] will talk about the many future lives that this person can have in this universe or even multiverse. [[Superimmortality]] gives purpose and meaning to all people no matter how difficult their lives are now. What you do in this life can influence what you experience in future lives. If you want to you can either create or help create the [[ixperiencitness]] of any loved one that has ever existed. We know, through science, that there is an enormous amount of time, space, matter, and energy that we can use with the knowledge that we work toward and develop into useful systems that can eventually create any consciousness with any [[ixperiencitness]] that we desire. Science through history has often made people and each person in particular less and less important in the scheme of things. First, our earth was the center and largest thing in the universe. Everything else in the universe circled the earth. We were the hight of importance because we were created by gods and could mate with the gods to form super men and women.

What a superatheist can say at a funeral. A mortalist eulogy will often talk about the accomplishments of the deceased person's singular life. A religious eulogy will often talk about the deceased person's being in heaven with god and all of his previously deceased loved ones. The superatheist believing in superimmortality will talk about the many future lives that this person can have in this universe or even multiverse. Superimmortality gives purpose and meaning to all people no matter how difficult their lives are now. What you do in this life can influence what you experience in future lives. If you want to you can either create or help create the ixperiencitness of any loved one that has ever existed. We know, through science, that there is an enormous amount of time, space, matter, and energy that we can use with the knowledge that we work toward and develop into useful systems that can eventually create any consciousness with any ixperiencitness that we desire. Science through history has often made people and each person in particular less and less important in the scheme of things. First, our earth was the center and largest thing in the universe. Everything else in the universe circled the earth. We were the hight of importance because we were created by gods and could mate with the gods to form super men and women. When we found out that we circled the sun and the sun is many times larger than the earth our importance diminished. The stars are in fact suns and there are billions of stars in our galaxy. Then we found out that there are billions of galaxies. We have learned that computers can do thing better than humans. Evolution has shown us that we are, though intellectually more advanced than most animals; we are still just animals. We do not even have free will because under the same conditions we will always make the same decisions. Science has shown that there is no soul and likely, now, no gods either thus there is no religious types of immortality. We are just a body and when that body dies that is the permanent conscious end of us. That rational result is that each of us appears to be extremely insignificant in the total scheme of things.
The science of superimmortality has changed this slide into insignificance for humans by showing how each of us are much more than one body producing a short lived singular conscious moment after moment. The ixperiencitness concept ties this deceased person to many different potential future bodies producing many different conscious lives that he will experience just like he experienced this life. This life that he just experienced can be repeated for him in other bodies any number of times. These repeated lives can be modified in many different ways making them better in many different ways. There are also many very different conscious lives from this current life that he will experience when they are created by other bodies. These conscious lives can include enhancements of numerous aspects like greater understanding, abilities, skills, knowledge, extra senses, positive control over conscious versions of yourself etc. Many of these lives will be experiences with loved ones from this life but there will also be many different loved ones from other conscious versions of herself. It is true that if all conscious life ends at some point in time in the total multiverse never to be reestablished again you and this deceased person will never experience anything ever again. But as long as there is matter and energy that can form complex structures like brains (randomly or directed by other conscious beings) there is a possibility that you and the deceased will experience conscious existence again. As randomly produced as people on earth appear to have been, there is no guarantee that these lives will alway be positive thus it is the responsibility of the individuals that are currently alive not to make other conscious beings lives worse because (for one reason) they could be conscious versions of you or people or versions of people that you care about.
