I was watching a TikTok video by XerofoX that goes into a theory where one will live each life from different perspective before reach God status.

He says it is based on the Egg Theory which is based on Andy Weir’s book The Egg Theory.

Is he right, or is there an actual philosophy behind the idea?

How does he know he's right? What evidence is there or reason to believe his ideas?

The Egg is plagiarized and stolen from a conversation on the MySpace religion and philosophy forum in 2007 about the essay Infinite Reincarnation.

Word for word plagiarism or just the idea?

The point of the egg came from the essay Word for Word. The bulk of the egg, at least God’s dialogue, came from the conversation on MySpace word for word.

Well that sucks. I’m sorry for that to have happened to you. I will give Infinite Reincarnation a read for sure.

Yeah, things could definitely be better, but I do like the opportunity to discuss the ideas. There is legitimate evidence to prove the theory although the 2007 piece is small and incomplete.

I will read it and engage in discussion then. Would you like me to tag you in this thread or message you?

Here's an animated video of the egg that I love

There is a dialogue in there where this theory is compared to Hinduism because of the reincarnation aspect. I also wrote about my thoughts on The Egg if you're interested. It's one of my fav narratives.
