Re: Can conciousness exist outside the body?
Deterioration of parts is not the only cause of human being's death. however, you cannot prevent the deterioration of part of human beings. Moreover, you can repair super computer if it "dies" but you cannot repair human being once he/she is died. simple.
Not true, you may repair it but it wouldn't be the same. If memory gets wiped out, you can't retrieve it. Like I said, everything as you know it dies OR evolves to another form.

did i say it will be same?
and how does it matter if you want to bring human's life back, once death has occured?

if memory of super computer is wiped out, you can use its part to build another one?
if a human being is died, can you use its part to build another life?

why do you keep directing every thread to what you want to talk about? I did not compare computers to humans, you did!

And here lies the question: once we die, do we get reassembled in some ethereal realm and don't remember our time on earth? Do we remain who we are and just don't have any memories left of this world? Maybe we get rebuilt too in another dimension but the living ones cannot communicate with the souls in another dimension. Let me elaborate using your computer comparison example, a computer knows what it is because of what it is programmed to be. If the memory gets lost and parts start deteriorating, it no longer knows how to function or what it is. All that remains is the hardware regardless of what condition it may be in. The ones who made the computer would know what to do with the parts and would rebuild it. The computer will be the same but the computer itself won't know it. Do you get it now?

well, I thought it could help you understand the conciousness.
If i was derailing, you could have avoided replying me. simple.

I am not replying to this part to avoid "derailment".
Re: Can conciousness exist outside the body?
^what you don't realize is that I know the normal concept of consciousness. It is not that I don't understand what consciousness is, I am curious to know HOW you imagine it existing outside the body. Even given religious beliefs, people have certain image of how things might be. This is one of those topics.
For example, Robert Lanza's Biocentricism theory is very interesting. It is a new perspective on how consciousness works.
Re: Can conciousness exist outside the body?
at the cost of derailment, can you tell me what is consciousness?
Re: Can conciousness exist outside the body?
^There are many theories I find entirely plausible, which one do you want to hear? I could entertain a million theories about it and won't be able to express it to you. I guess it would be something like what TLK described in this thread.
Re: Can conciousness exist outside the body?
So is a computer a human being?
Is it time for a shower?
It is 340 am. Do you know where your consciousness is?
