Robot: Cyborg or artificial intelligence. Limited to only input has no real experience or life outside of a coded program. Still very much science fiction at this time. Has no concept of objective good or evil. No real reason to worry about how or why they live. Just a machine. Meatbot: See...

Lets try one more time and then Good Gravy have fun with yo meatbot self. The physical body is a vehicle. Take the heart out and the body will cease. Take the liver out and the body will cease. However, the fact that I have looked back on my body is not answered by your simple illustration since...

removing the brain from any test animal you'd care to. All behavior and activity will cease. Sigh, and that's the point dude. :rolleyes: You don't think far outside the box do ya?

Thanks for the link.

Very good article Kim. I think that there are honestly logical reasons for rejecting the notion that we are meatbots.

sometimes there might be glitch (or a chemical over-ride in your case) and you see some of that footage and it seems totally alien and out of context because it is, it was meant to be left out by design. Our awareness is like a little raft floating in the sea of a human organism teaming with...

It is no mystery that use causes physical connections to be made in the brain. Nobody here is arguing that. I certainly have never said I don't go to the doctor. I said (and the link I provided is fascinating and the discussion after well worth having) There is no Known correlation that shows...

I also found this to be very interesting and it touches some on what we are discussing. Paranormalia: Atheists and Neuroscience

If you had a brain tumor that changed both your ability to perceive the world correctly and your personality would you seek out the aid of a brain surgeon or someone else? I would seek the removal of the physical cause by a doctor. Here is where I think the disconnect comes into play. I...

Not a one captn. :p

Rick I do appreciate your thoughtfullness and as you often do you give some good food for thought. But, " What do you "buy"?" is something that I also wonder about you. No offense or smart azz attitude meant by that. It's just that you talk about Processess and stuff and interaction and the...

I'm afraid I can't see any videos on my work PC. So, forgive me if I am missing something above. I'm not ignoring it, I just can't see it right now. I have bounced in and out of this thread. Lots of emotion and anger and "gotcha" on here. :eek: Now, I have read some and to be honest one of the...

Once you've had a "dream" interact with you, then you can no longer accept it as a "brain fart." :p That hasn't happened a whole lot of times but I have had the experience. It's hard to describe but the person in the dream actually told me things that "I" didn't know. Anyway, the point is that...

I didn't say I did have a true NDE. I was nowhere near death. I simply don't know how close the experience is to actual death. I doubt it's anywhere near it.

Propofol? :confused: I didn't report it to him captn. :p

Hay, where did you get that pic of dear old maw? :p

Good morning Don. I enjoyed the show and anything else is just nitpicking. I have noticed a distinct lack of civility lately on the forums as a whole. Some of that is due to letting folks of like mind have a field day. But, you are very level headed and don't bow down and expose your neck to the...

Lol. I thought that was Steven Hawking for a minute. :p I wanted to leave that as a cute little remark. But, ya know I can't. In my job I've come into contact with folks that have ALS. It's no laughing matter. If, and please note I said IF! there were a "Satan" this is the disease he would...

I had the same experience under anesthesia a few years ago. If that is death then it's nothing to fear that's for sure. But, like you I didn't really think it was exactly like death. I didn't see a bright light and I wasn't absolutely in oblivion either. I did have the feeling of waking up from...
