All sensations and thoughts cease forever at death and life is nothing more than thought and sensation. Every observation supports this and none contradict it. Just one example: sever a man's hand or eye from his brain and he will feel and see from it no more, it will merely rot away. Damage his brain and he will lose the ability to think or form memories. And when at death the entire body disintegrates, he will no longer feel, see, hear, taste, think or remember anything.
This holds true even if we suppose that there is a soul. Because if the soul can cease to experience by injury or sleep, then it can do so in death.
And "near death experiences" prove nothing. These are reports of people still alive with their bodies sufficiently intact. Show me a report from a man who has rotted away into dust. There is none.

Why bother entertaining this fiction? Christcucks don't even know that the concept of the immortal soul is a pagan one, introduced to Christcuckery by the Greeks. The jews, including rabbi jeshua himself, believed in bodily resurrection not souls.
>>18409127
Are you saying that the belief of an immortal afterlife would make you MORE likely to waste time shitposting?

Humans are inherently contradictory. We all know that our time on Earth is finite and yet surviving day to day in relative comfort is more important than any sort of long-term strategy.
Regardless of your thoughts on what happens upon death, every single human being on the planet should want to throw off the shackles of society, quit their 9-5, maybe dedicate their lives to obtaining immortality via advances in science or by pious acts- and yet we don't. Everyone's just thinking about what they're gonna eat and what's on tv.

My cognitive bias says different things from yours.

Oh, Arthas will rise us and we will storm human cities.
>No really
Feel free to ask specific questions, if possible I'll answer from academic sources I've studied, if not, my own experiences might serve as anecdotes.
>But death
Yeah, plenty of people remember past lives, so you're gonna be a taiwanese rice farmer next.

It's what we have

Plenty of people claim to be Jesus Christ reincarnated.

In therapeutic psychology circles, shamanism is all the rage, they figured out if it works for the tribe and the curious and/or odd academic, it has to heal Westerners aswell. So far it tends to do.
>Muh charlatans
A wrong brujo is a charlatan, a wrong doctor merely had a bad day, I'm not sure you follow this train of thought to its most logical conclussion.
>Why shamanism?
I know it. I also know Blood Sorcery and Chaos Magick, I can refer you to Peter J Carroll and his website where, having scientific credentials himself, he follows academic procedures to teach chaos magick.

You know how the police shoots if you're a bad goy? Introducing shamanic black witchcraft: Kanaima.
Why risk prion disease and getting shot just for a spell?
>Wut
In Kanaima, the sorcerer stalks and mutilate kills the victim, then eats the trophy, oftenly severing a talisman from it. Can be done simbolically ofc, but oftenly they just want the trinket, so they kill (pic, the author was attempted murder on).
What I'm saying is, one of the telltale signs people get something out of these practices is the lenghts they will cover.

Your posts are nowhere near character limit, you could put it into fewer posts.
It also doesn't help that the shit you say is legit completely incoherent and only makes sense to you because your brain is some kind of soup.
>>
>>18409185
No, you're just lowiq.
Besides, there's nothing weird with what I say. Just a moron whom claims to have facts when he has none.
I'm also not arguing from a believers perspective, but from an academic one.
If you think you're smart because you deny basic physics you're beyond retardation.

>>18409189
>No, you're just lowiq.
If you say so, Tarl.
In some ways I do feel sorry for you. In another time you might have been a prophet or religious leader. You'd have imbeciles hanging on your every word as you told them that mixing chicken shit and goat piss would cure their STDs. But alas, you are cursed to live in an age of relative logic and your mental illness(es) are so widely known of that the only people interested to hear your delusions are fellow schizophrenics.

Also, the Greek philosophers who came up with the idea of an immortal soul believed in reincarnation. They still believed in Hades, Tartarus, and Elysium, but they also believed there were various levels of reincarnation.

But consciousness is supernatural. Even if everyone else is just a deterministic bio robot, I’m certainly not.

>But consciousness is supernatural
Explain how. Because it's not understood? Thats a pretty low threshold for supernatural.

"""Consciousness""" is a meaningless word anyway. I defy you to define it in a way that completely excludes all life other than humans. You literally can't. Its a hand-wave word based on the assumption that humans are unique and special and distinct from animals.
>we're conscious because we're better than other animals!!!

Completely circular

We don't accept converts, you don't know what I do (I don't believe shit, I get shit done). And at fiirst sight of one of our rituals youd shit and piss your pants and lose the bravery.

People have reincarnated and remember details about their previous lives, researhers have vrrified that they are mostly accurate.
Also, nothing doesn't exist.

>People have reincarnated and remember details about their previous lives,
People have claimed to be Jesus Christ reincarnated and remember details about being Jesus Christ.
>researhers have vrrified that they are mostly accurate.
This has literally never happened, and you're so drunk you can't even spell

>>18410559
Jesus is probably the most famous person with details about his life encountered throughout your life.
This is just a knee-jerk response.
>>
>>18410643
>the most famous person with details about his life encountered throughout your life.
And yet the people claiming to be Jesus will inevitably tell stories that are not in the Bible. Almost as if…they’re making it up…?

Never mind, you are just stupid.

Zero evidence of this. All simply lying and delusion.

People who are not me have no subjective experience. Every observation supports this. If someone else gets kicked in the balls, I don't observe any pain occuring. I can observe a physical reaction but not anyone else having a consciousness and feelings.

My point is that consciousness is not something you can observe at all. You know that you have a consciousness by default, but outside that is anyone's guess. Every other person besides me could be P-zombie, or rocks could have subjectives experiences. You cannot know by definition. We literally have no idea what consciousness even is, and will probably never know.
>>
>>18412100
It's impossible to prove anything with 100 percent certainty but we can at least narrow our possibilities through simple observation and testing. For example, all the people around you tend to feel the same emotions you do and react to stimuli the same as you do, so while it's not possible to tell whether or not they're p-zombies, we also have less reason to believe they are than otherwise.

Sensation and thought begin with the body, are effected by all the changes of the body. A man loses an eye and can no longer see etc. Why then are we to believe that when a man's body is rotted away into the dust that he still sees, hears, tastes, feels, thinks, remembers and so on...?
