  • I don’t know about “afterlife” as in heaven or hell. I do think that there’s some sort of energy not yet possible to measure with current technology. Some energy that goes on and form a part of a different living being. Not as in “reincarnation” where its based on some sort of “diety” or “karma”, but just pure randomness. Now you’re a human, maybe later your energy (or “soul”) goes into an insect, or a cat (oh I love to become a cat). Humans couldn’t see radiowaves for millions of years, perhaps the “soul” is just something we haven’t developed the technology to see yet.

    But for now, we can’t prove it, so its just philosophy at this point, not scientific. Maybe we’ll become some other living being again, maybe not, who knows…

    I personally believe we’re just energy that drifts when we die, and inhabit something else, over and over again. Kinda depressing when you really think about it. Forever cused to just die over and over again.






  • In these federal system such as the US, federal law is supreme and overrides sub-national laws. Roe V Wade, although it wasn’t technically a law, carried the weight of a law and legalized abortion nationwide. No state could just outright ban abortion, at least not until Dobbs decision reversed the previous Roe decision. Same with Gay Marriage, its now a federal law and states cannot override that.

    For those that you could override, say, minimum wage: That you’re technically not overriding. The Federal minimum is still $7.25/hour, a state law making their state $15/hour does not contradict that at all; The federal law did not put a limit on states passing their own laws.
