One can imagine something divine that lives on, but that is just story telling, and it can't be "me". "Me" is a physical being created by a physical existence.
Eternity is boring, anyway.
No, it is a fact. The physical structures that sustain my mind are destroyed. That is not an assumption.
If you want to imagine that the mind is NOT situated in the physical structures of the brain, or that the mind is only temporarily residing in a brain, go ahead, but you will find no evidence for this, anywhere. If you have evidence for this, please present it.
Rejecting evidence-free storytelling is correct logic.
