I have made a new YouTube video about afterlife...

[Astreja]

Only 5 views, so far.  We, as H. Sapiens, are very stimulus driven.  Here is my favorite YouTube video of all time:

Just a suggestion, in sincerity, to increase the viewership of any future videos that you may wish to make.

That's a lot of fun, but I like this one even better:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9qYF9DZPdw

Haven’t looked, but I feel confident that the video and sound quality are in a race to the bottom, and that the content is neither novel nor particularly interesting.

Well, the argument that people in coma do not sense time is novel, I came up with it myself. The argument that souls contradict quantum mechanics will probably also be novel to you, unless you are reading Keith Robinson's philosophy. Other than that, perhaps you are right.

You look like a terrorist it that video.

Really? You originated the idea that people in an unconscious state are unaware of the passage of time? This is going to come as quite a shock to those of us who have recovered from a comatose state. Or who have been knocked out. Or who have woken up from a nap.

I mean, I haven't seen somebody use that as an argument against the existence of souls.

What do you mean?

I watched an episode of House yesterday where they portrayed it as possible that a person in a coma can tell the passage of time. I'm not sure what your theory is, but I think the consultants for the writers of that episode might have a thought or two. And there is a prominent physicist who is well known for arguing that souls contradict quantum mechanics. His name escapes me at the moment, but that doesn't sound all that novel.

I'd respond to the specifics of your video, but after a few seconds watching, I bailed. There are videos that use text-to-speech synthesis while displaying the text on the screen. That would produce a more palatable video than the presentation I saw. You do not have a good voice for making presentations.

I've used that argument for several years now on multiple forums.  Consciousness requires brain activity of approximately 5 Hz or higher, and with lower-frequency delta waves there is no awareness of our surroundings.  My argument is essentially "If the soul can't keep you aware of yourself and your surroundings when you're in slow-wave dreamless sleep, why should we assume that awareness is possible at all when the brain has died and all brainwave activity has stopped?"

Well, I have used a relatively similar (though not so sciencey sounding) argument in the video. So, does your argument work to convince people?

I don't know how many people have been convinced so far - it's difficult to track things like that. It's mainly an explanation of why I don't believe in souls.
