Your posts are forever (they exist regardless of you currently typing them out), but your function as a living being stops. And there is nothing "before" or "after" that, that could be called "you" without stretching the meaning of that term.

If I would shoot you in the head would you who typed this response still exist? I mean your body would still exist but that would decay way rather quickly. And after your body has decayed away what remains? Some form of energy/soul? I understand most people don't like the idea that life is finite but I think its like this. But hope brings life they say. So maybe I am wrong and you are right. Or its the opposite.

People have told many tales about life after death in the many years our species has existed and was capable of forming these thoughts. So which version is right? Egyptians? The Greeks? Hindu's? Christians? Its all a form of cope to give our existence some kind of value some kind of reason. To be born in a cold universe without any reason to exist only to perish by random chance is a sad and tortured existence indeed so I understand why people would fill it with tales that after you die you go to a better place or something. But in my eyes its still a form of cope nonetheless.

To me it seems more likely that I end after death, but I'm not entirely convinced yet.

Given that they have been wrong on so many other things I find it hard to take their claims about life after death as evidence of anything.
After all, it's more attractive for people to think afterlife exists.
>Its all a form of cope to give our existence some kind of value some kind of reason
It's comforting to believe that the afterlife exists. That doesn't say anything about whether or not it's true. It's comforting to think that the twin prime problem is decidable, but that doesn't mean it's less likely to be decidable by the fact.

You can only say this if you define "material" in such broad strokes that the term becomes meaningless. This type of essentialist thinking is antithetical to science. Science studies whatever the fuck it can get its hands on, and do rational investigation about. Do you consider Schrodinger equation a material thing? How about entropy? It's not a particle, and yet physics studies it. What about space and time? In the past these were considered highly philosophical concepts and not of interest to science, until Einstein came along and did good work in the area.

Modern neuroscience has more than proved that consciousness is the result of a living, functional brain.

Your consciousness can be impaired by chemicals, disease or injury, and the more damaged a brain is the more effect is has. Destroy the brain and you destroy the person.

Science has proved what happens after death. It's death fearing people such as yourself who hold onto wishful think as a mental block against unwelcome thoughts of annihilation.

Calculation implies some sort of algorithm, a systematic procedure, so this is trivially true. However, the question is whether all the things that humans do amount to algorithmic calculations. This is not at all obvious.

Nobody's talking about anything non-physical or magical in the brain. Obviously there's nothing magical, it's part of the natural world.

No. Explain how what you wrote makes religious or philosophical opinions science.

Cool story bro. Not sure I really believe it.

I don't think it does. It's a very good analogy, imhotbqh. The only question is if it's really the case. It's possible that even in principle, cuts may always have higher fidelity than copies for reasons we can't begin to conceive of yet (without having to invoke any non-materialistic woo-woo)

You're obviously right, but ignoring OP, the real question is to what extent it can be prevented through technological means or even transferred and/or copied to a different substrate.

I'm implying that at no point. Stop reading shit into what I write that isn't there.

You are continuing your "No True Scotsman" there.

Because you have no idea how to respond to the argument. Are you one of those chatbots yourself? Have you reached the limits of your programming?
>Holy shit you're being extremely disingenuous here.
I'm claiming there is nothing in the brain that cannot not be calculated by a computer, and give an argument to that effect. If you don't want to understand that, then we may as well stop the discussion here.

I have no idea, if humans will ever reach the point of producing an AI as shitty as themselves, I'm merely saying it is possible.
Probably not with the current RNN-approaches. That probably won't produce anything to that effect on its own, no matter how much data and computing power we throw at it

Why does no one acknowledge that resurrection is the most likely answer on two accounts. Religiously, end of time God revives you, scientifically somewhere down the line an intelligent species resurrects you be it by atomic reconstruction or time travel.

This only speaks of biological matter. What really makes you you is memory. Even if a physical copy of me existed somewhere sometime, and even my consciousness, that doesn't matter to me, as I remember none of it. It's the continuity of experience that makes me alive. And yes, by that token I would consider a total memory wipe aj equivalent to personal death.

There's something to be learned from even the dumbest, everyone has a story and if you have the resources to track history, it only gives you more data.

I see you're not following out your own concept fully.

There is still absolutely no reason for them to revive you, as they'd also be able to predict exactly everything you've ever done in your life, your every thought, and, any response you'd have to anything they could come up with.

>> No.12683093

Fair point. The next question would be would they revive your consciousness in a storage system or just leave you atomic structure in an obscure database?
