I don't think I've ever had a dream reveal anything to me that only a person located elsewhere could know. — TiredThinker
Of course not. :roll:... could disembodied consciousness work? — TiredThinker
Tbus spoke the hoi polloi! :eyes: :lol:Most people are very stupid and do not know good evidence from their elbow. — Bartricks
Half wits – those who don't know that they don't know – are usually the last to know.You can't have half a mind, can you?
Nothing is "harmful" to the dead. Status quo bias harms your "reason", Batshitz, causing these kind of reification fallacies.... our deaths will be harmful to us.
I guess it depends on what you mean by ""nonphysical" ...I'm assuming you do believe in nonphysical existence? — TiredThinker

Personally I don't care if a memory formed when the brain was "off" or sometime unknown to them when they started to come to. It is information that matters. If a person can leave their body without death than to me that is equal to actual impermanent death. The mind found independence from the body somehow. It's all about confirming information. — TiredThinker
Not sure what you're saying. Proof and evidence aren't dissimilar. Proof is maybe most solid in math, but I think in most science it is always a very high bar to achieve. Evidence can still be very strong for something. — TiredThinker
good evidence that we survive our deaths (albeit it'll take us to a place worse than this one). — Bartricks
Our faculties of reason represent death to be a great harm. — Bartricks
It would not be a great harm if it — Bartricks
ended one's existence as one can't be harmed if one does not exist. — Bartricks
Thus we continue to exist after death, else our deaths could not harm us. And the plane of existence our deaths take us to be must be considerably worse than this one, else it would not be harmful to die, but beneficial. — Bartricks
Reason "represents"? that doesn't make sense to me. — Noble Dust
What is "it" in this sentence? — Noble Dust
I don't know what "it" above references, so I have no clue what this means. — Noble Dust
This is incoherent to me, but maybe I'm missing something. — Noble Dust
my advise is to not disparage — Noble Dust
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
