In a universe where efverythingf is forever, energy and matter just take new forms never truly destroyed…
Why the fuck is conciousness the exception
Edit: That’s a serious question, and the only answer I can think of is “It isn’t, we just don’t know how to find conciousness when it leaves the body. Much as ancient main did not know of radiation nor how to find it, so he believed radioactive springs were cursed or blessed.”
You have to make a lot of assumptions for any of that to be true.
Your consciousness is the sum of electrical signals and stored data. The same way that if you throw a computer into a fire the data is gone forever.
The energy in your body is what continues on forever, not the data.
There is no law of conservation of data. That is not a thing
I see a large trend of people just completely rejecting reality for fantasies.
I would love it if my consciousness continued on forever, but that is not the truth. There is zero evidence of this. When you dye your body will rot and the energy will be returned to the earth. I think that is more beautiful
I wish so hard that I could believe. Just lie to myself forever, When you die it’s not like you find out…
Your lizard brain is wired to avoid death, but non-existence shouldn’t be scary. You’ve already done it for possibly an infinite amount of time.

There is no glory or beauty in Oblivion, what you describe is not a fade to black, but a fade to invisible.
Additionally your idea assumes that what makes me think and feel is the accumulation of data by itself.
No matter how smart a computer gets, it’s not going to start thinking for itself. The rise of AI Hallucination has proved that.
General AI will not be found until we can see the human soul in a microscope.
