Well, you'd want to hope so by now, surely. After all, if there
isn't, then.... "What's It All (been) About, Alfie?"
No cul-de-sacs. Consciousness sails on via FPI. You cannot
experience a no-world world, so there is (apparently) no rest "rest
eternal" for the wicked or the poor by ducking into a "death world"
where you cease to exist.
Existence for consciousness is mandatory; obviously. Consciousness
then mandates "unconsciousness" or the dreamworld repository of all
those things about our archetypal self we cannot experience at will
but are subjected to via dreams, premonitions, intuitions, hunches,
wisdom of all sorts.
The amnesiac no-memory-between-instantiations thing might be
explained by the fact that every possible instantiation of you is up
and running right now and there are now very many histories smeared
across the MV. Which memories would you default to following death
in one universe? Why don't I possess a memory spanning from Gronk
the Caveman all the way through lives scattered over 200 or so
thousand years of homo sapiens to me here right now? Must have
something to do with that god damned first person thing again. Bruno
should get the Nobel Prize for discovering FPI.
Thanks. I would appreciate :)
Yet Obama signed the NDAA-12, after getting the Peace Nobel prize, so
well, ... And, in Paris and Brussels they can even make prize
disappearing.
Well, as long as they don't made the number 17 disappearing ...
But a person is a very stable thing. Quantum Immortality: "a
conscious entity cannot cease to exist". That's a good basic
definition of a "person". Perhaps. A stable information pattern that
persists and is self-conscious.
OK.
Could live happily on a hard disk somewhere.
I would not say that he can live on a hard disk, it needs the relation
with the universal numbers, below and above the substitution level. It
actually has those relations, but if you want it sharing them with
you, you need to find a universal number already stable in your
(probable) environments to "implement" it. We use computers today, and
nature used brains, and genomes before.
