interesting thoughts

interesting thought i had today...

i had heard that in modern times when one dies,
people contact them by messaging their facebook.

so when you die you become your facebook profile.
(this is what i imagine hell being like)

but my quandary with this is what about the people who are only doing things on facebook,
and therefore are their facebook profile...
do those people count as living?
are they immortalizing themselves?
or are we limiting ourselves?

  1. What does it mean to be alive? According to scientists, "Life is a self-sustaining chemical system capable of incorporating novelty and undergoing Darwinian evolution." Therefore, I think FB isn't being alive.
