Liz, (and Dan)
When people die they vanish from existence. To believe otherwise may
be comforting, but it's just superstition..
In your "theory" perhaps. But then "my body" is not Turing emulable.
Comp must be false.
There must be a living human body to produce a human consciousness.
That is true. But if the body do the "human" part of that
consciousness, consciousness itself is not the result of the
computations, but of all computations, if not all arithmetic (which is
not Turing emulable).
The body does not produces consciousness, it only make it possible for
consciousness to forget the "higher self", and deludes us (in some
sense) in having a "little ego" embedded in some history.

I have to agree I don't think Edgar posted any links to his business
or blog. Indeed if he had posted links to a blog on his theory I
would certainly have looked because the explanations here have been
less than clear.
I haven't criticise Edgar for a lack of immediate response once,
never mind on several occasions. I have criticised his lack of any
response to my questions when he's replied to other things but
obviously can't or won't answer me. (I am still thinking of starting
a thread on outstanding questions to Edgar, but tbh I can't be
bothered because I know it won't get me or any of us anywhere.)
On the subject of grief, I have wondered about that too. One reason
is that I don't know that, say, QTI is correct. But I think the main
one is that I personally have lost that person forever. My best
friend was murdered in 1995, for example, and that is someone I will
never see again. Likewise my father, who died over 10 years ago now.
If they're still alive and well somewhere in the multiverse that's a
bit of a comfort but I don't know that. Maybe I will realise it
eventually, when I'm 150 say...
