मैं नहीं चाहूँगा कि आप यह समझें कि एलन फ़ोर्ट के पिच-क्लास सेट के सिद्धांत को न मानने का मतलब यह है कि मैं इस विचार को ही खारिज कर रहा हूँ कि पिच-क्लास सेट जैसी कोई चीज़ हो सकती है। यह समस्या तब पैदा होती है जब आप हर चीज़ को पिच-क्लास सेट के चश्मे से ही परिभाषित करने लगते हैं, जिससे उस अवधारणा का मतलब ही खत्म हो जाता है।

मेरा मानना है कि इसके अलावा भी कुछ है—कि शायद जब हम मरते हैं, तो हमारा दिमाग किसी तरह का शटडाउन अनुभव पैदा करता है, और इसी को लोग परलोक या afterlife कहकर总结 (समेटने) की कोशिश करते हैं। पर हाँ, मुझे लगता है कि कुछ और भी होने वाला है जो बहुत अजीब, उलझन भरा और पागलों सा होगा, और शायद हम कभी नहीं समझ पाएंगे कि यह सब क्या था। यह बस एक ऐसी दूसरी जगह होगी जहाँ हम यह समझने की कोशिश कर रहे होंगे कि हम आख़िरकार इस दुनिया में क्यों हैं।

But yeah, I think something else is going to happen and it's going to be crazy and confusing and weird, and we probably won't know what it's all about. It'll just be another place where we're trying to understand why we exist at all.
