"No cul de sac" implies there's no way to stop consciousness permanently.
I know it implies that, but I see no reason to believe it. The question isn't whether consciousness continues, but whether *your* consciousness, a particular consciousness continues. To say otherwise is like saying you can't kill the guy in Moscow because he has a duplicate in Washington.
