As I did not exist for 14.7 billion years leading up to my birth, after I die will most likely be like that.
The idea that there is something of me that will be conscious after I die seems quite ridiculous.
There are people the get brain injuries and have their personalities almost completely reset so as to seem like a completely different person. And this happens with damage to just part of the brain. How is something that is supposed to be me, lift off a brain that is completely, ultimately damaged and survive without a brain at all?
Don't forget that people 2000 years ago thought that brain didn't exist.
