SCIENCE PROVES THERE'S AN AFTER LIFEE!!1111!!!

FUCK THE SINGULARITY, BIOCENTRISM ALL DAY GUISE

saw friend who liked it on a joe rogan page. has to be legit

How can it be reasoned that the knowledge that consciousness arises from our brain is itself simply a matter of perception, analogous to qualia in perceiving the sky as what we know to be blue instead of red?

Isn't that objective fact?

This guys has a fucking PHD?

I hear the same shit from anyone that watches quantum physics documentaries in college. It's not new.

Dailyfail, you've failed us once again. (Not that the theory is necessarily untrue, but it's obvious to everyone.)

Death not existing doesn't prove there's an afterlife, it explicitly implies that if there is an afterlife it can't be reached as you'll never die.

I like the idea that consciousness creates the universe, or is a fundamental part of it, but people seem to suck at making theories based on that. OrchOR is the only one i know of that made actual testable predictions. to bad it turned out to be wrong.

that article was riddled by spelling errors from the start, yet I persevered.

>Theoretical physicists believe that there is infinite number of universes with different variations of people, and situations taking place, simultaneously.

sure whatever not really but okay.

>'Bottom line: What you see could not be present without your consciousness,' explained Lanza. 'Our consciousness makes sense of the world.'

I don't follow. why?

>Lanza cites the double-slit test, pictured, to backup his claims. When scientists watch a particle pass through two slits, the particle goes through one slit or the other. If a person doesn't watch it, it acts like a wave and can go through both slits simultaneously. This means its behaviour changes based on a person's perception

not really

>Lanza, instead, said that when we die our life becomes a 'perennial flower that returns to bloom in the multiverse.'

that doesn't even make any fucking sense

>>6160976

he doesn't have a phd. he's an MD, hence the "Dr." title, which is equivalent to a master's. he's an adjunct professor, which is the equivalent of a soccer coach.

Whenever you see the words "quantum physics proves", everything before and after is automatically bullshit. Doesn't matter what or why, it's bullshit.

No exceptions.
