I'll break it down Rik-style for ya...
When you die it's like
There's probably no heaven where you get to meet your cat Fluffy that you had when you were six.
Or Hell where you'll meet your gay uncle Jim.
Our mind's find it difficult to conceive of non-consciousness or oblivion, so it's easy to imagine life going on somehow.
And this may be correct. Ultimately, I'm agnostic about whether there is an afterlife.
But since neuroscientists observerve a causal link between the activity of a living brain and consciousness experience, it is reasonable to assume that all such conscious experience ceases when brain activity ceases.
Mate.
How on earth can I compete with your superior mind?
Impossible.
All I can do is to ask you for more tips so one day I may become intelligent like you but please help me to understand a little bit more.
1) When you say that......... neuroscientists observerve (observed I guess) a causal link between the activity of a living brain and consciousness experience...............does really means that the link is permanent?
How do you know that?
2) Talking about neurosurgeons it must come bizarre to you that one of them had an NDE which transformed his life from a skeptical into a strong believer.

3) When you say........... I'm agnostic about whether there is an afterlife.........why then you state that ...............that brain dies, you will never laugh or love again............
Don't you think that is wrong to make statements such as this when you are not 100% sure or have positive evidence to back your statements?
