    You didn't mind the aeons of oblivion before you were born; why wouldn't the aeons of oblivion after you're dead be exactly the same? This post brought to you by Epicurus gang.

        A lot of matter that has made you up is probably already in other people.

        Why limit yourself to the downside potential only? I'd like to believe that humans aren't the only intelligent life forms today, let alone in the probable infinite history of the universe, I mean do you really think semi-intelligent monkeys that eat/shit/sleep/sex with sewage pipes are the best this universe is capable of?

        It may just be the case that being born a western chud are is as unlikely as being hit by a lightning 20 times in a row.

        Also there is relativity, quantum mechanics and things like many worlds theory to worry about before reincarnation even begins to make sense.

      Because I like being alive, I can definitively say that non-oblivion is much more my speed than oblivion.

        Sure, sure. But either there will come a time where you don't like being alive so much, or else you'll die too fast to worry about it. Either way, no sweat. Enjoy life while you can, but death isn't something to worry about.
