to grok Death

Post by Advocate »

To you, life begins when you can interact with your experience. That benchmark is tied to a working brain. When your experience ends, you end.

To yourself you are the continuity of your experience. To others you are the continuity of their experience of you.

To you, death is when your experience ends. Mind is a metaphor for the patterns in the brain. Soul is the idea that the mind or experience can transcend the brain. There is no mechanism by which that is possible.

Poetically there are three deaths, when you stop caring about life, when your homeostasis ends, and when you are forgotten.
