who knows, mebbe in some other dimension it is the plants that are intelligent and ambulatory [unplanted, as it were] while the carnivores are planted in place, like some alternate world version of a venus flytrap or such.

Hmmmm.
Fairy.
Or
Elf?

I have an affinity with pointy ears since I am an honorary Vulcan.

I would like to be reborn, but definitely not in a human body. I think the life of a cat would suit me better.

I think it is possible that we are reborn as it is
I think if so, then perhaps us people with ASD are reborn Buddhist Monks or something

It would explain why many of us love repetition (prayer, meditation, beads etc).
Ritual, routine, perhaps even stimming...

often enjoy simple lives
perhaps also explain why we have sensory abnormalities (long shot)

and why many of us love to be good
and why we don't like lying and badness
and are very logical

and if we are not
perhaps we can be in this life
i mean
most of us could do with a quiet simple life
with kind heart'ed companions

i will consent to be reborn so long as i can have a genetically superior physiology and genius-level IQ and can be born into a civilized nation. otherwise, just let me stay in heaven.

No, I would rather just not die in the first place.

If you get born again, would it really even be you...seems like your existence still ends because your reborn self may not really be 'you' so basically the idea of being reborn doesn't really sound like a better deal, also you then have to die all over again if you get born again.

And if you become a victim of gang-stalking, you will be gang-stalked for eternity?

I think the assumption is that it is your 'consciousness' that is 'reborn'. 8)

Idk why I'd be getting gang stalked necessarily if there was a way to prevent death.

And yeah maybe it would be my consciousness, but if don't remember anything and have a different life that would still pretty much just a different person.
