yeah something doesn't seem right about the way we look at time maybe. I think in the original thesis the notion is that from our stand point (being dead) all eternity passes in an instant and we're back to where we started.
I mean I hope this isn't true. My life has been more or less decent, but I don't particularly want to keep reliving it. What about all the terrible lives?

Yeah, I get the theory, I just don't see why this would be the case. What is the point/purpose of everything repeating itself over and over? I think multiverse theory makes far more sense than just one universe repeating over and over.

Good place to drop this comic though, which is the genesis of the "theory":

I find it plausible, or at least thought provoking that since there can be no beginning or end to time (as I understand it) a cycle makes sense. Kinda like the earth is round

Yeah, that's certainly fair! Your guess is as good as mine.

I just tend to think when our minds can't possibly comprehend something (like the infinite stretch of time or space), it's easier for us to wrap it up with a nice bow into something easier for our monkey brains to understand. The vastness of time, that can't possibly have a beginning or end, and what HAPPENS "before time" or "after time"? Blows our minds. Time being one nice big circle/cycle? Yes, that feels more comforting.
 
I like the idea of a cyclical universe, i.e. the Big Crunch model that triggers a new Big Bang followed by another Crunch, etc. The universe as one giant beating heart. Science doesn't support that idea though.

This place is about as fun as a family BBQ. Politics, current events, religion.

Yeah im an atheist and I don't really care what anyone else believes as long as they're not fervent about it. I try not to waste any energy on trivial matters such as religion or politics. Whose got time for this shit?

Time is also a construct that we created in an attempt to understand things. So I don't think there's anything simpleton or immodest in attempting to extrapolate the notion of time.
 
"The human race is just a chemical scum on a moderate-sized planet, orbiting around a very average star in the outer suburb of one among a hundred billion galaxies. We are so insignificant that I can't believe the whole universe exists for our benefit. That would be like saying that you would disappear if I closed my eyes."
