> Seeing your loved ones is great. Exhausting the total combination of <1hr long conversations with them over an infinite amount of time, not so much. What do you even do after that?

Well assuming everyone is conscious in the next life and can interact with each other, then that would lead one to assume next life has technology at least as good as ours, if not better since it collectively contains the sum knowledge of every human who has ever lived. Unless we are just disembodied consciousnesses that can't interact with matter anymore. In any case though, the mere existence of an afterlife in which you can visit with deceased loved ones is a strong sign there is a benevolent God over all and I'm sure said God would help solve the boredom problem. So I'm not terribly worried either way. Cease to exist = can't worry about it. Continue to be conscious = won't worry about it.

Great idea. It will probably take a while for me to internalize it but I really like what you're saying.
