If conciousness is composed of energy as we know it, then technically as soon as you die, you'll enter a new conciousness, as it's inevitable that your energy will end up forming SOME new conciousness in any given period of time, whether it be 1 hour or 100000 years.

Whatever makes it easier for you to sleep at night.

Also, when you die, the energy related to your consciousness is dissipated permanently. No energy in the brain = no consciousness of any kind.

The structure is lost. Temperature and charge differentials don't remember where they came from. You can't analyze a joule of heat coming off your cpu and learn what logic process it was powering.

>> No.4098513

When you die, that's it. Nothing more. Blackness.

Imagine what it felt like when you entered a deep sleep, woke up several hours later, and felt like only a few minutes had passed. Now try to imagine that to oblivion.

Sleep tight!

Though does that change whether energy from any part of your body will form a part of a brain/conciousness? Not necessarily.

Your consciousness is powered by energy, to say it is energy is obfuscation. Your brain consumes kilocalories of energy per day and expels it as heat. Do you think all of that energy can be used to make thousands of copies of your consciousness? There is no permanent quantity of energy that performs work in your brain all your life, that would be a perpetual motion machine, and again energy is not information.

If a fountain is composed of water as we know it, if the fountain is turned off, the water will end up being part of some new fountain in some other period of time.

Yeah, the water'll evaporate and condense into rain.

dude, this post would have been better if you mentioned quantum entanglement and how once you're dead, your consciousness inevitably is in a superposition with everyone else in the world.

consciousness could certainly be explained purely naturalisticly, just a product of matter an energy, or whatever, but it certainly exists

I wasn't talking about smoking DMT. I was implying that your near death experience was caused by DMT from your brain.
