There's a article in the New Yorker about Earl Sweatshirt and appearently the whole thing with his mother sending him to Somoa because of his lyrics.. is a lie. It says his mother sent him, so he'd have an education before he got super famous. And Earl is totally fine with being there too.
lol now we're talking beliefs? a hypothetical question =/= beliefs and if you want to get into what i think of reincarnation, i'll just leave you with one of my favorite george carlin quotes: "Reincarnation, It's just doesn't seem logical to me. In the begining there were six souls - I don't say two, it's to contraversial. So they die, go back to the place = six souls. More people are born, six souls. This goes on and on and now there are six billion people - Someone is printing up Counterfeit Souls."
What I meant was, if in this hypothetical situation I could choose what animal I was reincarnated as, if the animal didn't have the same memories or thoughts (which neuroscience confirms is not true), what would it matter? The soul would just be like an arbitrary I.D number. So the lack of specificity makes answering the question stupid, because whatever you answer, the outcome is indifferent. I played Magic the Gathering for a while, and Vs. System before that.
