ALL evidence suggests you get one shot at existence....and then....a return to eternal nothingness. There is a sum total of zero evidence that there is any other end. There's just wishful thinking by some. You are your neurons and synapses and charged ions floating across the synapse. Your 'consciousness' exists only so long as all the parts are together and working in unison. Once they stop functioning, all that your were is gone for eternity. If I take the circuit boards out of my computer, then sandpaper the hard drive, nothing I stored on the machine is retrievable. Same with consciousness. It ceases to exist, because the physical package that it was is destroyed. That makes this brief period of existence so precious. I suppose some people are comforted thinking that even a person suffering dementia or Alzheimers, who has essentially disappeared---or the 'personality' they had disappears, before the other organs of the body cease to function---all of a sudden becomes cognizant and all-knowing in the instant of death, then comes back as a stand-up comedian or cockroach or amoeba, albeit with no 'memory' of the women he schtupped during his last iteration or what he had for breakfast last Tuesday.

No of course they don't, but the fact that we do (or at least are capable of it) does not provide any evidence that we survive beyond our mortal death. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveAustin Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Just don't go out in despair or hate. If there are ghosts walking the earth, it would seem more likely ending up as one as opposed to accepting it and moving on... ... if either is a 'thing' of course.
