Perhaps unrelated, is a young theoretical physicist at the
university of antwerp, named van der veeken, who under his nom de
guerre, went by the name of athene, for the video on youtube,
afterlife dysfunction. I wonder if professor Marchal has heard of
him? I have viewed this video before, but tomorrow, after the ale
fades (porter) I will review this video. It might contribute to this
exchange of views.

OK. I saw it. The images are nice, but it makes me nervous when he say
that "we know ...". We have only theories.
He says different things which are compatible with computationalism,
but he recasted it in the aristotelian frame, making it inconsistent.
But its conclusion about after life coming from a statistics on
infinities of states is basically correct, yet very fuzzy, and the
video only scratches the problem.
The title is a bit deceiving, and it looks like an advertising. The
special effects are well done, though.
Not sure he could convince people on this list, except those grasping
already the non-triviality of the mind-body problem.

Google can't find her.
