We basically live in a more mundane version of cyberpunk, the one thing they got wrong is cellphones are more important and its china on the rise not japan.

Anyways, if you are thinking of the future from 2023 you are thinking of climate change and the dying earth subgenre, thats what scifi is now

It is known that there is a biological basis to the mind, that is the brain.

I am not implying that there isn't a collective, universal consciousness whatsoever, though I can't help asking myself how can some religions see consciousness as something outside of the body.

Let me explain.
Say that there is a person who's born with mental disabilities or suffers from some kind of brain damage; since their consciousness depends on their brain's condition, it is undeniable that their mind is going to work differently from an average, healthy individual.
In case of behavior against their religion's rules, are their actions justifiable or not?

Say that a Christian has a brain tumor and commits a sin (e.g. murder); does that make him a sinner or not?
