Thanks

Whoops! Iedited my previous post to discuss further with you but I think you'd already replied. Would you mind reading this (I copied my previous reply):

Though I still appreciate your response :). Are you well versed on Christian quietism? If so, what does it have to say about fear of a negative afterlife? Is one to seek mental quietude? Or try to rectify one's life and seek forgiveness from God before death so as to avoid this fate? Seems like Christianity demands action, thought, prayer and knowledge of the Bible to avoid negative fates, and so quietism would be the last thing one would want. But surely I'm misunderstanding something as I've no knowledge of this tradition.

I should have clarified, this post is not about Christian quietism, but rather the Quietism of Wittgenstein and Pyrrho.

Interesting thank you!

Are you versed in quietist philosophy? I'd like to know how a quietist would defuse a few specific problems. Like for example, how does quietism defuse the fear of death based on negative afterlife beliefs? If someone tells a quietist "I'm afraid I'll live forever as a hungry ghost!" How would they respond?

Or if Lao Tzu said "I'm afraid I'm actually a butterfly dreaming it is Lao Tzu!" To a quietist, what is the quietist way to defuse this philosophical problem?
