Wasting our one life argument

From Aware Theory

The science of superimmortality predicts that we have many potential different lives. Our current life is one of potentially many different lives that we can experience when the corresponding physapaths are created. Many people believe that they have one and only one life. Because of this they feel that they must make the most of this one short life. But this puts stress on a person because it is not obvious what is the best life that one can have under the environmental circumstances they are given. Some say that every moment should be cherished others want a fast paced life with little quiet self examination. Clearly, what is a best life for one person many not be the best possible life for someone else. No matter how hard a person strives to make their one life the best possible one from their perspective the environment always gets in the way. If you could make this the best possible life and then you were given other chances to experience other lives would you really want the same exact experiences over and over again in these other lives? The science of superimmortality predicts that there are an innumerable amount of different physapaths that can be produced by different bodies where the consciousnesses produced by these bodies will have your ixperiencitness. In other words you will experiences these different awarepaths. There are likely a very large amount of these awarepaths that are equally worth experiencing. If the bad parts of some of the worse awarepaths are deleted or changed in more positive ways there will be an even larger amount of awarepaths that or worth experiencing for you. Rather than worrying about making this the best singular short life for you, maybe you should make this life as positive as possible without taking away the positive experiences from other people's lives. But also with the goal of making your future lives more likely and even better than this one, if possible. It is not a waste of this life to help create future lives that you, your loved ones, and friends will experience. It is also worth while to produce future versions of yourself that are a continuation of this life with your memories, self identity, abilities, knowledge, etc., of this life intact.

By living this life you are not wasting it. What you are doing is experiencing one of the many different possible lives that you have the potential to experience.
