I think if reincarnation was/is real it’d probably work regardless of time and creatures would be locked into their own categories. So like, humans could only reincarnate as other humans, for example.
When I say it’d work regardless of time, I mean like, if you died you could reincarnate as someone in the future or the past.
Kinda a silly discussion topic, but I thought it might be kinda interesting.
This part is particularly interesting to me. I wonder how that might work, since there are many ways of in the end getting what you want. Like someone can have a really rough childhood and a pretty good life as an adult, for example. Then there are people who get everything they want, and yet are miserable. I wonder how this would work out in a hypothetical system where “you get what you want.”
Well, you could get a huge list of people or things you could reincarnate into. Maybe the list is limited.
I’m imagining this as like an after-life equivalent of a player-select screen. xD
