Group Nazi, or Soup Nazi (Check American humor reference, series, Seinfeld). I like the ideas (maybe) of an afterlife where your consciousness zooms in to your Closest Continuer, but, its smells unlikely, and thus is useless, and probably not real. The Netflix series Travelers had the minds from centuries from the future download into people who they knew were about to die, and then own their bodies, in order to "Save the World," from known, terrible, disasters that occurred. For me, I like creepy guy Woody Allen's comment on mortality, which was: "I don't want to continue living through my writings and works, I want to continue living on in mu apartment!"

A nucleus might decay in the right Representative's brain at just the right time, etc. He asks: "If You Existed in Multiple Universes, How Would You Act In This One?" https://lithub.com/if-you- existed-in-multiple-universes- how-would-you-act-in-this-one/(From Something Deeply Hidden: Quantum Worlds and the Emergence of Spacetime by Sean Carroll) But he gives away the game here: "To each individual on some branch of the wave function, life goes on just as if they lived in a single world with truly stochastic quantum events." Maybe there's a Sean Carroll branch that loves stochasticity. Many Worlds (a religion, or quasi-religion, but not science) is fundamentally an anti-probabilities superstition. And anti-materialist as well. Those who think we are pure information - platotonist bits - have no problem with the idea of multiple copies of things here and now being made, because there is no new material needed. (The religious aspect of Many Worlds has been made apparent with the promotion - Carroll's own tweets, for example - of the book.) Pro-deterministic is not anti-probability. Also, pro-materialistic is no less “religious” than anti-materialistic, since there is no way to know that a true material world does or does not exist. When it comes to deciding which interpretation of reality to prefer, one can either use aesthetic considerations (Occam’s razor) or refuse to engage in discussion. -- Stathis Papaioannou What I know is that materials science taught in universities, applied in technology companies. But nonmaterials "science" is taught in theology schools, and has no applications. So what ? We're talking ontology/metaphysics here, so it has no application... You don't use ontology to make things. Putting matter as primary is no less religious than if it is not, that's all, so treating other religious regarding that is ridiculous. Of course they are, as much as you are about matter being primary. Quentin @philipthrift-- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
