Sounds like misapplication of one of the laws of thermodynamics. "Buddhism denies the existence of an unchanging or eternal soul created by a God or emanating from a Divine Essence" "According to Buddhism mind is nothing but a complex compound of fleeting mental states. One unit of consciousness consists of three phases -- arising or genesis (uppada) static or development (thiti), and cessation or dissolution (bhanga)." source: http://www.buddhanet.net/nutshell09.htm While that sounds fairly reasonable to me. Personally I ascribe to information theory, which does imply that information (mind energy) can't be completely destroyed only transformed, though there is nothing against it being created. Similarly while we can't destroy matter/energy in the universe, it did arise (was created) at some point. > > On Wed, Mar 16, 2016 at 3:07 AM, Logan Streondj <[email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > > Hi, > > So recently there have been several articles which say Buddhism and > Transhumanism are either unrelated or even opposed to each other, > so I've made a blog post relating to how they are similar: > > http://bit.ly/1RkmdWW or > https://joylifecoop.wordpress.com/2016/03/13/similarities-between-budd hi > > > sm-and-transhumanism/ > <https://joylifecoop.wordpress.com/2016/03/13/similarities-between-bud dhi > > > sm-and-transhumanism/> > > I posted it in reddit, but only got some rather vague sutra's in > response.
