I think the safest answer to that question is "no", but who knows what
happens when a person dies, let alone what will happen to you when you
die.

Exactly. For example what if we both suddenly realized you used to be
vlad the impaler? Who would want to be friends with someone that was
probably going to live out four or five generations paying for *that*?

The question then becomes, if you recognize that you can learn
something from someone like that, humbly approach, and ask for help.

I don't know. The Children of the Night, perhaps?

Um, no. Speed is not what Einstein's elevator thought experiment is
about.

*Sigh* There is no centrifugal force. That force doesn't exist. Please
choose your analogies more carefully.

To make a point in this discussion: that opinions about what an
enlightened being can and cannot do, even lofty, noble, idealistic
opinions, are fabrications based on delusion, just like any other old
fabrication based on delusion. Amusing, perhaps inspiring, but not to
be believed.

Ahh, my favorite line from Dracula. Well - to be fair, there are so
many :)

Of course not, but that doesn't mean you can intuit the speed you are
traveling in an elevator, which is what Einstein's experiment tells
us :) Or do you not follow this logic?
