No, reality is NOT up for a vote.
Not knowing everything about how the brain works does not equal a "spirit" or a "soul" or a "mind" outlasting our physical selves.
What science KNOWS KNOWS KNOWS KNOWS KNOWS
Is that when the brain dies, we die, there is no us anymore.
What you want to do is to get us to admit "you don't know everything"
And then try to pull an Evil Knievel by asserting the gap is filled with a fictitious beyond.
Why don't you apply for a job at Fox News, propaganda seems to be right up your ally.
I haven't mentioned spirit, soul or mind. Your presumption is incorrect. You seem to be following the insult person followed by straw man and presumption of others views methodology..not one single part of your post addressed anything I had said, merely your presumptions followed with cheap insults, seems to get kudos on this site though, so carry on if thats what floats your boat..

No, I didn't make the computer analogy, learn to read. In fact if you had read the posts you would see that I don't agree with the computer analogy. Its obvious to anyone, have you been drinking?
Ok, auto pilot kicked in. My bad.
But you still want to separate "I" or "me" or "what we are" as individuals from our physical selves. Otherwise you wouldn't be trying to make an orgy of an issue out of thoughts not having weight or mass.
You have an end goal and the end goal and I am not distracted from that. WOO is your end goal and that there is a "beyond".
There is no beyond. PERIOD! There is nature and evolution and biology. But there is no spirit, or mind or soul. When you die you die, thats it.
LETS CUT TO THE CHASE
You, "Thoughts have no weight or mass"
Me, "so the fuck what"
Just like speed has no weight or mass, but is a product of an object with weight and mass.
You are trying to prove that there is some "great beyond" and all you have is bullshit mental masturbation.
That is where we are at, and all I see is an end goal on your part peddling woo like Twinkies to an obese person.
