      I think this obviously implies that your brain is getting reset each loop, in which case you wouldn’t be aware of anything repeating.

        But if your brain is getting reset, then really your reality is, so its not so much of a loop as infinite new realities.

          but what if you’re actually a slave? forced to work each day anew, with no memory of the previous day. i wouldn’t call that “your infinite new realities” because those realities aren’t really yours, as they don’t provide you a place for you at all.

            I don’t understand this part:

            those realities aren’t really yours, as they don’t provide you a place for you at all.

            My point is, if I go to sleep tonight and time loops back around to this morning, and I don’t remember any of today, then did today really happen? It didn’t “happen” in any meaningful way.

            It doesn’t matter whether I entertained a dozen nubile virgins or toiled as a slave.

        Yeah, but that basically means your entire life is the loop, making this just another silly idea about the afterlife. Though, not as silly as some of religious ones.

          Unless it’s not your entire life and you’re in your first forty-year loop. You hit 60, wake up and you’re 20 again

            When I’m high i think my like it game and I’ll wake up to find that I’m 12. I make my husband promise to do everything exactly the same, even the stupid stuff, so we end up together. Ridiculous, but makes total sense to weed brain.

      What if the repeat starts right after the point where you die?

      Then you wouldn’t have any memory but you would be stuck in the loop.
