If what is described in NDE, like to have "impossible" perceptions without brain activity is real, it would mean not only that mind and body are diffe...

Thanks for your comment. To clarify, here, with "self" or "you", I don't mean some identification based on afiliation or proximity (like considering d...

Yes, I always read the example of integer numbers, but this is an ordered series, the universe is not. And even if it's not granted, I guess the proba...

Oh shit! I just realized... If the universe is infinite in space, there are a lot of "yous", birthing continually, and if conciousness has nothing mys...

Supposedly, the probabilities os surviving certain events are almost 0, that's why only could happens in MWI, or maybe in an infinite universe. So the...

Yes, but from a subjective point of view they are others when they diverge, if the divergence is at the point of your death, you won't have more diffe...

But you have a subjective experience of "flow", what will happens when it ends?
November 16, 2020 at 19:02
Thanks you. I'm reading that in Relativity and even in Quantum Mechanics the spacetime is considered as continuous and non discrete, so maybe I'm just...

Thanks for your long post! I guess I fear that even if you manage to make your future good, in this world until your death, at some point you could ex...

I'm confused with this all stuff... The concern is that when somebody asked why you doesn't care what happens to a copy of you, I just thought "becaus...

Yes, but, doesn't imply BU that you won't really experience your future because the future you will be another person, physically unrelated, just link...
