because the only thing that matters right now is this life. worrying about an afterlife, or whatever form of gatekeeping there is involved, is pointless.

I don't believe in an afterlife, but this makes no sense unless there's some further context you're skimping out on. What you're saying is basically "you don't have to retire now, so don't worry about retirement".

because death isn't retirement? there's no missing context, because this is all philosophical bullshit without an answer. i just choose not to care about what happens when i die, because i'll be dead and either i'll stop existing entirely or something else will happen.

No, the fact I completely lose sense of time and consciousness every night when I sleep tells me the shutdown of my brain completely will mean the absolute death of my self forever.

Because no one can say they definitely know there is one without relying on the flimsy justification of faith, or straight up lying.

As an undeterminable metaphysical concept, the afterlife isn't verifiable, but with so many people the world over believing with the entirety of their being that there is one, it's a bit bleak to say there's absolutely no chance of it.

yeah i guess, that if you polled everybody in the world that over half of them would say they do believe in it. But idk, how much importance do most of you dudes place in that?

I personally don't. I'm awake and trying to sleep one minute, and the next I'm awake and several hours have passed. Every night.

There is no rational reason to believe one exists. Even if there are mechanics of the universe that we have yet to identify, it's quite clear that an afterlife is simply a pipe dream developed by people who didn't understand the world and still believed by people desperate for meaning. Everything we know about ourselves is tied to our brains, and there isn't a shred of evidence pointing to anything beyond that.

Most the time for sure, and sometimes even lucid dreams. There's always a period before the dreams where I'm completely unconscious though. For instance I'll get into the beginning stages of dreams where nothing is quite well-defined it's just a blurry series of images and then I'll wake up only to find 15 minutes have passed since I started having imagery even though it felt a lot longer.

If souls existed in the way people believe, some kind of feedback one way or the other. When a person suffers major brain damage, they can essentially become a different person, which makes the idea of some external record of yourself seem kind of pointless. Obviously, someone who believes in it can just say it's a completely immaterial thing that'll be sorted out by God.

My mind was so far away from gods & souls, that I dare say you completely missed the mark here. Still, it's an interesting point.

Why are we here? Is this a simulation? How does life begin? Is life confined to just Earth or is it somewhere else out there? These are all questions that I'd need to know the answers to before I could guess at whether there's an afterlife.

I think there's a good chance that when you die, that's it. That's what makes sense logically. But we could be wrong about that. Humanity has a very limited understanding of existence.
