You might be right, but you don’t actually know that for certain. If your consciousness emerged from nothingness once, there’s no reason why it could not do so again (albeit probably in a completely unrecognizable form).
Personally, I am agnostic as to whether reincarnation is a thing or not, but honestly, when taking the numbers into account, oblivion sounds like a much better deal than spending my next billion lifetimes as a bug that lasts for only a brief time before being eaten in one of countless agonizing ways. (There is a reason why the Eastern religions that believe in reincarnation tend to emphasize that the ultimate goal is to escape it.)
I mean, why not know for certain? We are made up from electrical impulses between our synapses and literally cease to exist on power down.
Proving this of course goes into philosophy and belief which - as an Autist - eludes me in the reasoning.
However I might be one of the few who can be pretty certain about it, since I died once already (heart stopped) and the following year I had to build myself up again not only physically but also from the mind in an indescribable way.
So if that had progressed further I am very certain parts of what defines me as a person would’ve been lost.
Karma exists. Western karma is nonsense.
It’s not supposed to fairness/consequences in this life but rather across lifetimes.
It’s fine for you to believe but I see it as totally made up to keep people in line.
When we die we’re dead and don’t care because we are no more.
