    There is no glory or beauty in Oblivion, what you describe is not a fade to black, but a fade to invisible.

    Additionally your idea assumes that what makes me think and feel is the accumulation of data by itself.

    No matter how smart a computer gets, it’s not going to start thinking for itself. The rise of AI Hallucination has proved that.

    General AI will not be found until we can see the human soul in a microscope.

      The human soul cannot be measured even in a human body… So why do you think it exists? You sound like someone who completely rejects science in favor of fairy tales that make them more able to go to sleep at night.

      Reality is harsh and cruel. Your ‘soul’ is just your consciousness, it disappears the second there is no energy to keep your brain alive. The second you die you are gone forever, the only thing that remains is your memory until those people die. Nature does not care about you, you have the same worth as a cockroach.

      All of these religious fairy tales are there to exploit your fear of death. They give you a fairy tale saying that death isn’t the end so you feel better about life. All you have to do is follow their rules 😂

        You do know we can’t measure consciousness either right? But we still know it happens, it’s the only thing we can know for sure happens because we’re all experiencing it right now.

        We still don’t know a lot about how the brain works, and again, it’s pretty weird that this is universe that recycles everything except consciousness: Matter and energy cannot be destroyed, they only change form.

        Ever look into NDEs? Weird stuff, they thought it was just oxygen deprived hallucinations, but then they keep finding very specific and powerful brain activity after the patient is declared dead that suggests something is going on in a big way. Something much bigger than neurons randomly firing in an attempt to reignite the brain, the brain’s ignited like never before despite the fact that it should be dead. They also keep finding that Near Death Experiences are so damn universal that for the weird magic sounding stuff to be a hoax, then hundreds of thousands of people would have to have been in on it since the dawn of man.

        Never assume that science knows everything. Not because “Religion has all the answers”, but because science is not a religion, it’s not a big book that you can just find answers in. It’s an on-going process of questioning everything and then going “That’s funny, that shouldn’t be happening.” right before learning about a new set of questions to ask.

        It’s actually really beautiful.
