    In some of the beliefs, your soul maintains the memory, but it’s blocked off by your body. Essentially, when you die, you’ll get your memory back, but you’ll forget it again when you’re doing another cycle.

    So the main goal is to get enlightened so that you escape this cycle and graduate to a higher level of existence.

            A writer which is super prominent nowadays with the recent adaptation of his book into a movie, Project Hail Mary. Also the author of The Martian.

            His website is also pretty cool. This page is just raw HTML, forget “no Javascript”, this page has no CSS. And the main page is straight out of the 90s, chef’s kiss.

            Edit: leave it to me to forget to mention the entire reason I started talking about his website in the first place… Here is The Egg, the short story.
