I will ask "What happens after you die?" on my Manifold survey, with the options being the answers submitted here. Whichever option is chosen by the most respondents wins. If there's a tie, resolves equally to the tied options.

Clarification: Options have to be coherent and meaningfully distinct from previously submitted options to be included. I also reserve the right to ignore options if anyone submits something horribly offensive.

See Plasma's Manifold Survey for other questions about the survey.

Edit: The survey is officially out! You can take it here: https://forms.gle/xZqWVxuY5irgLigu9

That also means new responses to this market won't be considered.

Hm, I guess I technically didn't state whether "Other" would be an option, but I think I probably should include it on the survey. So the Other option itself could still pay out if a plurality of people select that answer.

@Roma Note that I am currently not planning to include, "It feels the same as not (yet) having been born," unless someone can convince me that it's meaningfully distinct from, "Nothing," which was submitted earlier.

@JosephNoonan Ah, didn't notice your comment. Sounds fair.

I added a clarification about what options will be considered.

I feel like "It feels the same as not (yet) having been born" is the same answer as "Nothing". Is there any justification for considering them separate answers?

I suppose that option is open to to some spiritual interpretation, if you think it wasn't nothing before we were born.

@Joshua I suppose if that were the case, it would be different, but usually, "It feels the same as before you were born," is not used in that context, but is just used to explain how it can feel like nothing.
