Well presumably there are a finite number of souls since the celestial powers that be fight over them and there is not much point in fighting over an infinite resource in a domain that is outside of our sense of time.
Which would mean that as earth time goes on the population would be more and more those that commit suicide. Introverts and depressed people. Might explain some of the data we are seeing.
That depends on how time works. Could be a single soul/consciousness experiencing every single life one after another (or simultaneously; who knows what we’re capable of if there’s more to us than just these bodies).
100 billion humans have lived so far. Maybe the souls got sent into storage?
“Shit this one was so lonely it killed itself early”
“Hey I got an idea let’s keep it away until there are a lot more people around. That way it won’t be so lonely. It will have some friends”
In a long enough timeline the world will have a 10s of billions of people with an average density of Hong Kong full of the most introverted depressed humans of all time. On the bright side those humans won’t fear hell
I wasn’t trying to talk smack about you or people like you. I was referencing the correlation between people with big social circles having a lower rate compared to people who do not.
And yet I get it. I would rather have 5 or so people I would do anything for compared to 50 people who sorta like me.

I mean yes, but it wouldn’t explain population growth

As an introvert, I’ve never felt like my own suicide would solve any problems.

I didn’t take it that way. Just wanted to stick my oar in. 😉
