A human brain at birth contains matter, at death contains different matter. Both times contain the same mind.
So if you simulated the thoughts of a newborn and the same person at death, you wouldn’t be able to tell them apart?
What does it mean to say that they contain the same mind despite being composed of different matter?
It seems like you’ve assigned some definitions to a set of terms, become invested in a position based on those definitions, and now frame any sort of dispute in which those terms come up as a conflict over that position. You’re using the same words as everyone else here, but you’re discussing an entirely different subject, and a confused one at that.
Yes, I make the point that these discussions include a presumption of something beyond Science as we know it. The only way to discuss life, mind, Will and the like needs to look at the Universe from outside, but the Universe is everything.
If we accept the premise of something beyond the Universe, sentience exists here and must extend there. Please continue the train of thought yourself. You may reject the logical inference anytime your beliefs are troubled but understand your rejection does not invalidate the conclusion.
Thanks for the feedback. I will be stopping this now.
