And do believe that I, this random guy on the internet has a soul
I personally don’t believe that I anyone else has a soul. From my standup I don’t se any reason to believe that our consciousness and our so called “soul” would be any more then something our brain is making up.
Yeah, kind of. I mean, I believe that we’re in a simulation, so the mind’s apparent dependency on the body is illusory given the body is just a configuration of information too.
That said, I don’t think there’s anything magical to it other than the persistence of information and the continuity of a relative perspective.
But I see no reason why that information and perspective couldn’t continue on after we die and there’s a number of reasons I expect that it will do just that.
