RE: A Speculative Case for Eternal Life

You have stated that I think I know everything, and you are wrong.
I never made any such statement. You don't address the point I make above that we have neurons, so using the word we to refer to the group that has neurons isn't inaccurate, and certainly doesn't claim to know what those neurons are doing.
You're putting words in my mouth that don't go there.

If you phrase your ideas in ways such as "But the claims some people make about continuing to have consciousness after dying aren't able to be confirmed, can't be tested, nor quantified in any way."
You are stating as if you know this to be a fact and that you know what everyone else has ever done or knows. It has taken me most of my life just to even identify the various groups of thinkers in this world who all explore quite differently to each other - outside of the mainstream. Actually understanding the depth of their knowledge is a full time job. The mainstreams scientific people repeatedly deny the possibility that such groups know more than they do, yet when these scientific people often reach the same conclusions years later, they then usually continue their denial. Instead of crediting these other groups with knowing something before they did, they act as if the other groups don't exist and then try to take credit and power/status as a result.
I'm not saying you are doing this. I am saying that it has been a major hurdle in human evolution / healing / balancing and I want people to notice it and stop feeding in to it.
I understand empirical evidence. Anecdotes do not meet that standard. Such reports cannot be other than anecdotes, because they're incapable of being undertaken experimentally under controlled conditions. How does that mean I know everything? You're just making that accusation up out of nothing. Nothing I said has anything to do with that claim you're forcing into my mouth.
Stop that.
You're claiming to know everything everyone else knows.
Stop projecting your claim to understand everything everyone knows on me. I make no such claim, and you are the only person I have ever spoken with that does.
