    It’s a quick reset, though. You’ll get back to human eventually unless you end up as one of those immortal trees or something.

      Whoops, now I’m a fungal colony / gestalt consciousness… untill the planet I’m on gets killed by its star?

      Is that how you… achieve, or totally avoid samsara?

      If a single celled organism successfully divides, is it dead? Wouldn’t a single cell eventually grow into a colony of clones, copying itself indefinitely until some random mutation or outside force prevents it from reproducing? Where would it be considered appropriate for us to consider a single celled organism dead?
