Agreed. I've drifted back and forth from one position to the other a couple of times. At present, I'm of the view that if ( and that's a big red if ) our realm is a complex simulation of sorts, then there is the possibility that it has the capacity to store some of what goes on inside it and buffer it to another type of simulation. This sort of sounds rather sci-fi, but it does have some support among academics. But even if that is the way things are, it still doesn't solve a number of important issues. The best we can do is hope that we're on the archive and save list, and that when we come to our end here, we'll emerge into another realm and be able to reconnect with our loved ones.
