As for laziness, a person might have an interest in a particular thing such as video games, but has no interest in researching about the technical aspects of video games and video game systems. The person just wants to play the video games without doing the research. I have an interest in the idea of the afterlife because I would really want the eternal blissful afterlife of my dreams to exist. But I have no interest in doing the research. Neither can I comprehend the research. It would be no different than how an average person having fun playing video games cannot comprehend the technical research in regards to video games and video game systems.
Then don't complain that perhaps nobody knows enough to construct video games.
If you want to understand, you have to put in the effort. If you don't want to put in the effort, you don't have the right to criticize the conclusions of those that do.
You want warm fuzzies without thought. OK. Don't expect anyone else to listen to your speculations then.
I think that's a flawed analogy you have used in regards to the paranormal. How does knowing how to construct video games analogous with knowing that consciousness is reduced to the brain and that, once the brain dies, we are gone with it?
