Yeah, but it could also fix some things regarding racism, sexism, ableism, trans issues, immigration, geographic disadvantages etc. Maybe climate change?

Suicide would be an epidemic.

Everyone will reroll for better stats

Pretty sure that would result in negative karma, and thus the new reincarnated form would be even less desirable.

Death_Equity ,

There was no indication that karma or any such system was included, you included that into the scenario and it is therefore invalid.

There would be people racing to get to the simplest organism incapable of sentience if there were a karmic system.

Chekhovs_Gun ,

That’s what the basis of reincarnation is about though… karma. You do good deeds, your karma level goes up, you get a better reincarnated life in the future. Likewise, the opposite is true as well.

Death_Equity ,

Karma is an aspect of the Hindu and Buddhist reincarnation beliefs. They do not have sole ownership of the concept of reincarnation.

If they had said “What if Hinduism is right and reincarnation is real?” then that would be a different scenario. They only put forth that the concept of reincarnation was real.

Chekhovs_Gun ,

Ah I see what you mean now. Eh, regardless I’m sure the universe would have some sort of similar karmic system in place to prevent thatt suicidal loop hole.

There’s no secular reason to think that the universe would care, or that a universe capable of caring would see it as a problem.

The word “desirable” in the context of human-only reincarnation opens a whole other can of worms

lolcatnip ,

Depends on what version of reincarnation we’re talking about.

root_beer ,

Like what, a paramecium or baker’s yeast or something? At least I can’t have a collection agency coming after me then

drislands ,

Optimistic of you to think people wouldn’t use it as an excuse to be even MORE discriminatory. There would be Ultra-Whites who could claim they were never non-white in the past X years, with seniority by how far back they can trace their reincarnated whiteness. And of course there would be new religions claiming that if you follow them you’ll be reincarnated into the race/environment of your choice.

duffman ,

Odds are you aren’t going to be reincarnated as a white person though. Seems like they would cut the shit out the first time they are reincarnated as something different.

kibiz0r ,

Maybe. I just thought it was an interesting opportunity to put the “veil of ignorance” to the test.

    I don’t know, the Sikhs and chiller Buddhists seem to have it figured out. Jains seem pretty on point too until you get to the sexism.

    And the government would make sure you paid taxes for every dollar moving between incarnations.

    Hey, you have paid taxes in your first life! The IRS department of past life tax recovery is awaiting your presence

    It would be done at the same time the technology used to track reincarnation is announced.

    In case you aren’t joking, brutalist is an architectural style, commonly seen in Washington DC and associated with government buildings. It’s not masochistic, despite brutal being in the name of

    commonly seen in Washington DC

    Britalism was an architectural movement that started in the post-WW2 UK.

    It became pretty common for ~20 years and was very popular in communist countries due to it being cheap and no frills (commonly associated with western extravagance).

    There are tons of britalism examples all around London.

    Soviet brutalism is a thing too Derp

    The name comes from the French word “brut” meaning “raw” as in raw concrete.

    Now that is a structurally sound butt plug. Just the kind of thing I’ve been looking for.

    I hope they didn’t skimp on the rebar.

    Nah. That’s what gives it that delicious weight.

    They skipped it entirely, because this is intended to be MRI safe.

    This is why reincarnation would come to be. It would then be spun in a way that would be beneficial for people. You can buy that house with a 250 year, 3 lives mortgage!

    It is I the trillionaire eu keeps accruing wealth past his 250 lives.
