Life after death?

[Ksa]

It's the thalamo-cortico-thalamic circuits that misleads you. They have a reciprocal connection with the prefrontal cortex, inducing this sense of "you", by associating the way you feel inside with what you see and hear.

If you don't believe me or don't understand me, just alter the thalamus function temporarily with amphetamines. When you wake up after a day of use and you stand straight in the middle of the bed for 5 minutes, with a strong smell of burnt rubber in your nose, not knowing who you are and where you are, until it all comes back to you 5 minutes later, you will realize the truth:

That there isn't a "you" and that there never was a "you". It's simply an illusion created by your brain to mislead you into thinking you are a whole, a unique person, when in fact you are many things combined that will never make one.

Two questions:

First assuming that there isn't a me and that me is just an illusion created by my brain to mislead me into to thinking I'm a whole person rather than a collective, how that heck does that change what happens when I die. Whether it's illusion or fact, self, or many selves, it ends with death.

Second, there's a platform problem with the argument that that there is no me. If I am being fooled by my brain into thinking I'm a whole unique person, who is the person who's being fooled?

The problem with visualizing death is that man often uses waypoints/parameters/values in life that are not part of reality. If you cannot visualize death, it's fairly simple why, you're trying to fit a triangle into a square hole. Trying to describe an element of reality with elements that are not part of that reality. If everything you use to perform your analysis was indeed part of reality, such as your identity "you", then you would have no issues relating to death.

Person, nothing, void, God etc. are simply abuse of language. It doesn't exist anywhere. We say person why? Because the individual has a personality, therefore he's a person. But how many elements does his personality have, and how many regions of his brain govern that personality? And if some of those regions change or become deactivated, wouldn't that make him a different person?
