I think it’s fine. When I get older I’m more intrigued whether there is an afterlife, whatever it is.

That’s only intriguing if the answer is “yes”. Otherwise it doesn’t matter.

Yeah the if is where the intriguing is.

When you have general anesthesia, you experience nothing, not even the vague sense of time passing like when sleeping, it's just an edit in time. You basically don't exist when you're under general anesthesia.

If a little propofol in my brain can make me not exist, I'm pretty sure when I don't even have a brain I will definitely not exist.

There isn’t, you’re just looking for something as your life comes to an end.

Yeah I did have one and it was as you said, an edit in time. However this is after all still different from real death so we will see.

Why would they pull you out of the sim if you're not dead? For all we know you need to sleep up on the spaceship too.
