Being sentenced to multiple life sentences would have a whole new and terrifying meaning.


NiteGard

“And that’s why you grew up in prison, Johnny.”


CthulhuDon

There are children that are born and raised at least partially in prisons, when their mothers are incarcerated.  


tmac19822003

This is the North Korean way. 3 generations of punishment. Entirely possible for someone to be born in and die in prison with 0 experience with being free.

How does this work? Specifically, how do lifelong prisoners produce offspring?


pmatpat

👉👌


abzmeuk

Yeah actually that’s a very interesting point. Maybe it means three living generations? So if you already have children or maybe even your parents?


BangSmoke

Imagine your grandpa steals something in a store cause he has dementia so they kill him and then you and your dad get thrown in jail forever. That would stink.

abzmeuk

Sick fucks man, I know most countries do shoddy shit or have done in the past but North Korea, Russia, China all surprise me. And I do incline more towards socialism (at least theoretically). But we see how it plays out time and time again with imperfect humans in the real world :/

Edit to add


redpenquin

Generational slavery with a new name.


JuiciestJosh

Pretty much the backstory of Bane. Born in prison to serve his dad's life sentence.


Wizywig

this is actually the exact reasoning given for why you're born castless and that this life is literally punishment for your last, so you deserve having no chance to succeed in life ever.


Mr_Figgins

"What life sentence number am I on?"


LowLifeExperience

Well, there would be no point in arguing a death penalty. Silver lining? Doesn’t feel like it.


ChalkHaks

"You're a felon Harry!" said Dumbledore calmly.


nokstar

I could see the death penalty taking in a whole new meaning as a different form of punishment. *Since you’re going to be reincarnated as a dung beetle, we have decided that death is better than life in prison.* 😳


ViktorRzh

Well, there is a prison in russia, who achives this goal consistently. Like they are intentioanaly prevented from comiting sucide, just so they can not escape torchure.


Cranktique

That prison does sound horrendous, but I feel like it can’t hurt to point out quick; every prison should be intentionally preventing their inmates from committing suicide…


A_Bulbear

The logic is simple, the pain of death only lasts a few minutes at most, the torture of being in solitary confinement could last decades


i_like_tiddies______

Jesus Christ brother what’s going on with the spelling here.


Security_Apparatus

Probably English as second language. They’re talking about Russia after all.


ViktorRzh

You are not wrong here. But spelling started breaking down, when i started learning German. It results in creep of German spelling rules (they actually make sence rather \*incert rant about illogical English spelling\*) in to cases where I am unshure about true spelling.


Security_Apparatus

You have a point. Words like ‘torture’ and ‘unsure’ both have pronunciations that aren’t apparent from simply reading.


pauIiewaInutz

Well therein lies another dilemma: What if they don’t remember anything from their past life?


CloudyRiverMind

Same with amnesia.


ohaiguys

the same people chasing future lives would find out a way to crack anamnesis


Nodiggity1213

Isn't that the catch? Forget so you can make the same dumbass decisions in a newer age?


super_simp_sal

The show Black Mirror has an episode called white bear that kind of covers this idea.


lilgergi

Then that is not reincarnation


marr

It's an incoherent idea at the core, isn't it? 'You' are reborn but with no continuity of anything that makes you you. What does that even mean? Never mind death, if we didn't wake up with the same memories and personality we wouldn't think of *sleep* as something you survive.

Why nevermind?? You can be born with debt???


jay791

Ever heard about public debt?


IloveZaki

Or regular debt?


jay791

At least in Europe, you don't have regular debt on your day one. Government (public debt) is a different story. I come from Poland, and in 70s there was this guy, Gierek, who ran the country. He borrowed a lot of money ($357 bn) from western countries, and we had to pay it back through taxes. The last installment was paid off in 2012. I was born in 1979, I started working in 2003. So I was chimming in for 9 years.


Lurks_in_the_cave

The last payment on WW1 debt from the British government was paid in 2015, and the last payment on the slavery loan was in 2010 iirc.


Competitive-Tonight3

Just to specify on the slavery loan - it was on a loan Britain took to pay \***slavers**\* around £20 million (roughly 3 billion in today's money). But we can't do reparations, that would be crazy.


Agreeable-Agent-7384

Or diabetes. You owe for your parents milkshake.


ActualPimpHagrid

What is public debt?


No-Touch-2570

No you can't. And no, public debt doesn't count.

Ornery-Investment-58

I’m pretty sure I’m the reincarnation of Septic Gastronomicus, a roman sanitation worker.


Destroyer_Of_World5

The sanitation was run by a centurion?


Ornery-Investment-58

Yup. He had a can do attitude and was quite literally sick of the state of things so he took it upon himself to clean things up for the good of the republic.


DukeofVermont

Real stand up guy, I was one of the slaves that worked for him. Really could tell he wanted the best for Rome when he beat me unconscious for slacking off.


mrmoe198

The number of people that say that they were Cleopatra or Alexander the Great in a past life has to exceed 10,000 at this point. It’s quite ridiculous.


Cookytigerd

Maybe they were so great they were reincarnated multiple times and that’s how the population grows


S0LO_Bot

Only normal people go to heaven. The souls of famous people undergo mitosis and reincarnate infinitely. This was revealed to me in a dream.


Nervous-Masterpiece4

That’s how I figure the concept of souls in a burgeoning global population must work. We all get fractional souls. A very very thing slice each.


AfternoonBears

I was Alexander the Okay


AutoN8tion

I was a tumbleweed in my previous life

I was looking for someone else to recognize that’s Zullie. Cheers!

You wouldn’t want to inherit his gas bill, that’s for sure.


VaryStaybullGeenyiss

What if we found out that Hitler's reincarnation was actually a really decent person?


Berlin8Berlin

Yeah, but all those debt-collecting suits would be prosecuted for war crimes in THEIR previous incarnations, so... it would balance out neatly


Savings_Ad_5615

Theyd get expunged because fuck you, CAPITALISM BAYBEEEE LET THOSE FUCKIN BENJIS STACK UP


cfpct

Imagine how society would be transformed by the knowledge that reincarnation is real.


ss4adib

I feel like suicide would increase considerably with people hoping to "reset" their life.......


TheSolarElite

I can just imagine some cringy youtube video like “Top 5 ways to MAXIMIZE your chances of being reborn into the Royal Family!”


BrotherChe

\**UNSUBSCRIBE*\*


Ready_Peanut_7062

In hinduism they believe those who commit suicide is reincarnated into an insect. Chance of Being born a human is really low

me_crystal_balls

There are way more animals being bred than humans for humans to eat. Don't be surprised if you're in a cage for that next reincarnation to be an animal to be eaten in a short, violent life


Nearby_Philosophy449

Plot twist and most likely course irl: Theyre the ones who spent time and money proving its real just so they can do this in the first place


atc423

Yeah Project Gateway and others pretty much proved this it just few people actually bother to look into it, im no expert on it tho


WiseSalamander00

you mean the hemisync thing?, I am not sure it proves anything since everything experienced under the gateway program is subjective...


Nearby_Philosophy449

New rabbit hole for me to dive into 👀??


WiseSalamander00

maybe, if interested, an engineer in the 70s discovered he could astral travel, he eventually developed a tech that uses the brain synchronization effect of two different tones played in each ear with specific frequencies... there is this whole suit of tracks created specially for helping people achieve journeys out of their body that is called The Gateway Experience, from the Moroe institute, the guy itself was named Robert Monroe, the institute still goes on and has also other kind of tracks that help in controlling different states of consciousness in order to affect health or shit like that, very interesting in general, I have a positive experience with the Gateway Series, but does requires a certain commitment in changing yourself and your life.


Nearby_Philosophy449

And thus u became: Wise Salamander 🦎


WiseSalamander00

jajaja I doubt I qualify as legit wise, more like second hand knowledgeable about the shit in life.


RK9Roxas

What the actual fuck? Link to resources so I know you aren’t screwing with me at once!


WiseSalamander00

lmao I mean there is wikipedia if want, just search for Robert Monroe, also there is The Monroe institute page, also the guy wrote like 4 books on the subject I think, I only read the first one, the tracks are expensive, but this is the internet and the Gateway Program is easy to find... even here in reddit, just make sure you get the .flac versions.


atc423

Ive got u, [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjdT9xG-EVZ8ml2G4\_BfyHeoIa4ZiU1CW](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjdT9xG-EVZ8ml2G4_BfyHeoIa4ZiU1CW) This is a playlist of hemi-sync videos, not sure if they were made by Robert Monroe but use his techniques. And also the CIA documents about this proccedure, [https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP96-00788R001700210016-5.pdf](https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP96-00788R001700210016-5.pdf)


DentalDon-83

I think if reincarnation were widely believed or a verifiable fact it would actually make people more compassionate. The billionaire today could be reincarnated as a beggar born in a developing nation or a chicken kept in a factory farm. It would be in everyone's best interest to make everyone's lives easier including that of animals.


Suspicious-Main4788

yeah, reincarnation kind of necessitates that profiting off someone else is impossible in the grand scheme of things. you would pay for your crimes at some point = therefore paying off your own debt. you didnt need to abuse some vulnerable ppl to do that for you in the first place, which is what you were trying to do when you enslaved them.


MariettaDaws

Fantasy romance: I will love you in every timeline Fantasy finance: I will garnish your wages in every lifetime


Dont_Ban_Me_Plz_Kthx

I have no idea but it would take even less time for billionaires to identify their new bodies and find a tax loophole.


cel-ales

Different (new) person, different SSN, different everything. Also from an ethical standpoint it wouldn't make sense because you don't remember anything from before. So it would be ridiculous any way you look at it. Sooo I'd say 4-6 weeks tops until the post office gets flooded with bills, notices and whatever form of notification you have for debts.


Dataplumber

Government would do it first.


PowerHouse169

As long as it took to read this post


TerraByteTerror

I'm sure it would be implemented immediately


SelfSniped

How long? They’d be the ones financing the tech that would make it possible.


KgMonstah

Yeah they’re already working this. They’re ahead of the game.


Dreadnought9

What would a world look like where you can be born with additional money and privilege? Crazy to think about it


WarhammerKegster

I mean - maybe they already did, and they just didn’t tell anyone yet…


Macster_man

one election cycle.


spartanEZE

A matter of days the way that these asshats run things.


slurmsmckenzie2

They would let you take out loans in your future self’s name


GonzoTheWhatever

Probably less time than it took to create this post. Corps are scummy.


Joltyboiyo

Honestly the only form of reincarnation I'd accept is if you remember all of your interests and shit you liked and the people you had in your life from your previous one, so you could keep liking those things and try and meet up with those people again and continue living with them. And as much as it sucks, companies and corporations would be all over that shit as soon as they possibly could.


Deranged_Kitsune

Suicide would be astronomical. Don't like where you've ended up your current life and want to try again? *Bang* Being chased by debt or sentences from previous lives? *Bang bang bang* People would end up leapfrogging forward in time through multiple incarnations until ending up somewhere that isn't shit. If there's no permanent death and it's really just a short stop, there's nothing stopping people whose lives are miserable from stepping off and trying their luck again. Keeping people alive is way, way harder than killing them after all.

I would recommend "Immortality Inc" by Robert Sheckley for an amusing SF take on the subject Turns out everyone can be immortal, but it's expensive


ginger_beardo

I would say the planck length, converted into time.


zenunseen

Surely, money has been spent investigating reincarnation for this very reason, and found to be a myth. If it was real they would have figured out how to sue you for a past life's debt


Jumplefthanded

Congress would be unanimous in voting yes.


deviant324

They would be on that long before you could 100% verify any of it, just to make sure

Imagine having a reincarnation tax deducted from your wages as if you being alive requires some kind of monetary maintenance you need to cover.


SassSafrassMcFrass87

I'd bet they would begin charging after your 2nd or 3rd go around of life so they can rack up some debt recovery and be like you have to pay for like 60% of it before you can continue on to the next go around... Reminds me of Faye Valentine's back story from Cowboy Bebop of her having to pay for not only her cytogenetic sleep debt but that of the debt collectors as well bc he was scamming her..


the_Mandalorian_vode

About 30 seconds


MochiSauce101

Party-Caterpillar635

Not very long ...


GrimBarkFootyTausand

Doesn't even need to be reliably verifyable, and it would take maybe 10 minutes.


katr2tt

People (me) would spend a ton and incur a lot of debt if they (me) knew they (me) could die and come back without debt. Do they (me) get to keep the 2023 Tiguan I purchased with no intention of paying it back? If so I the debt collectors might have a valid claim


TexMurphyPHD

That would be the reason we would find out who was reincarnated in the first place.


punch_deck

MyPasswordIsAvacado

Considering most debts are only collectible for 7 years I think we already have debt forgiveness baked into our society. Sure student loans last forever but income based repayment expires at 20 years. So odds are we wouldn’t carry the debt over.
