any of them where you exist for eternity

I don't think many people really think about what that means. After a few thousand years your actual life will be a meaningless blip. After tens of thousands of years time itself would lose all meaning

Definitely hell.

Option 3 is just nothing. So you don't feel anything.

Option 2 is eternal boredom.

Option 1 is eternal suffering.

That first option seems objectively worse than the other two.

Nonexistence to me at least, because I can't even really comprehend the concept.

Would have been my initial, gut interpretation, but then it's like ... there's not a "you" to "feel" anything. It's not simply sensory deprivation, there is no potential for sensing anything. I don't know, that idea just unnerves me a little.

To me that makes it much more preferable than the other two. You wouldn't even be aware of it, because "you" would have already stopped. While I do like experiencing things as a living being; if I were given the choice between an eternal negative sensation and the end of all sensation, I'd go with the latter every time.

What

You do it literally every night. You go into a state of unconsciousness and it's just like you don't exist.

You also didn't exist for billions of years until you did, so when you die it'll probably be a lot like that.

The first two options are hell. The second one is only slightly preferable to the first.

The third is the best by far.
