Is the Jello wrestling next? because I'm just waiting for that. I'm sure the rest is nice and important and special and all, but give me two sweaty guys rolling around in a tub of brown goo and I am sooo there.

I am feeling existential sadness, and awaiting the jello-wrestling. Tongue

Can someone please provide a link about the subject. Maybe a peer reviewed paper or something, not that he would understand it


I am still waiting to see your evidence.
I keep hearing that you guys got the evidence but where the hell is this evidence?

Prove it.

(And no, NDEs do not prove it. It's not clear what NDEs are or what causes them, and until it is, they are not proof. Until you can provide evidence as to what they actually are, they are not themselves evidence for anything else. If NDEs and 'auras' are all you have for proof, then you have no proof.


What a disappointment Apo.
I thought that you believe in science and yet when a neurosurgeon like Eben Alexander that had a NDE say that the consciousness can get disconnected from the body you do not believe.
So who the hell are you believe in?
It remind me those politicians that pretend to know more then the scientists about the climate changes.
I think that you don't really care who say this or that as far as it does not interfere with your agenda and your interests.
This sort of attitude can cause some mental disease so watch out.Wink Shades

Let's see as evidence we have the Montreal procedure, pyschotropic drugs, MRI, eeg's, split brain patients, phineaus fur (forgive the spelling), Mr. M, Michael hunt, Alzheimer's, Mr. H. , and high functioning autistics
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

You are asking for far tooooooo much.
Philosophical question?
Oh no please Chad.
You want to kill them?
I have been trying to get some clue from these guys about the meaning of philosophy for many month and nothing ever come up.
One guy copy and paste some information from wiki but nothing else.
They haven't got a clue about philosophy so how the hell can they know about philosophical question?Smile

Keep on looking boy.
But look in the right direction there where can be demonstrated that with the body death also the consciousness die.Smile

Eegs and MRI demonstrate that aptly. People I have died hook into both so we could observe the process well. We also can measure what is going on in a persons brain using both and through the Montreal procedure we have mapped most of the limbic system and proven that electric stimulation is what produces thoughts and sensations.

The true victory against enrico is when you put him on ignore and are free of his arrogant drivel, folks. Smile

Well, the existential sadness just means you're sane.

As far as the jello-wrestling goes, you'd have to get me pretty drunk.
