Right, but we just don't
know what, if
anything, happens upon death.
To say something
may happen, is the equivalent of saying that the same event
may not happen, which is in essence saying nothing at all.

You are implying a continuation of experience post-death, which is pure speculation. It is wholly unconvincing that there is anything after death, much less that you carry your thoughts with you, or that there will be a
you to carry them.

What about those who posit that there is, in fact, no

Ok, you said "possibly into a void of nothingness." Either way, the implications are the same. There could be no such state of ending up in a void of nothingness anyways. As if nothingness could be experienced.

Ok, so if one believes that it is possible for them to "end up in such places" (i.e., that they
could or
should go there), it is this very belief that could actually put them there.
You evidently believe, or want to believe, that its possible to end up in such places such as a "void of nothingness." According to your very own logic then, this very
belief that you have (the belief that its possible, that is) could allow you to end up in such a place. No?
So, on this basis, for those who don't invest any
belief in such groundless speculations, ending up in such places wouldn't occur.
