The ‘I could create a better world with my dick’ thread…
So I make a world where no one dies nor feels pain, everything is provided for them and they have no worries. Birds wont eat worms and apple trees wont have apples upon them. Now watch nothing happen!
So why death thought? Well I can imagine any of many pain scenarios, or of being stuck down an abandoned mine shaft and never ever being found. So you need a way out of there! = death.
Why pain? You want to feel don’t you? If we reduced the tactile threshold such that we don’t feel pain, wouldn’t that make giving someone a hug feel kinda numb? We’d be reducing it significantly imho.
I’ve been going over various scenarios, and I can’t think of a world that would work and feel real, and have apples, without it being a world like this one.
It would be better if there was rebirth? Somewhat aimless though, unless the goal was simply to experience a constantly renewing world. In which case you need ‘death’ such to manifest the refresh fundamentally. So the material form, its memories and consciousness stops, then you become one with the oneness [cosmic blender result] and by the same means as we came into existence, we pop into existence once more.
So no otherworldly holiday park then. Or if there is, it wont feel as real as this world unless it contains something which makes it feel that real. However, if you have formerly lived in this world then died, then all of your ‘sliders’ [aka Skyrim etc] will have been composed, the amounts and depth of sensation will have been arrived at. In which case, the wise god would surely give us only one life here? A calibration if you will.
After a while I can imagine that those slider amounts would diminish and need to be replenished. That is, where the supposed other-world does not contain harm or whathaveyou. In which case, the soul is possibly always going to journey to and fro between both worlds, as above and also below.
All in all we need to take care of this world and do what we can to enrich the experience. We will probably never get rid of harmful occurrences, but there are ways to ensure it doesn’t get too extreme, and that in the wrong ways.

edit;
Do you wish we could remember past lives, former loves and relatives and friends? I’m 52 and I already have enough I would rather forget, but cannot. Secondly you would still get new families to consider first and to be with most of the time, ergo in the end it would be virtually the same. Then we should also consider the storyline element, death refreshes everything, and gives you a new chance.
