    General anesthesia and consciousness

    Let's get the trivia out of the way first - yes, I'm going to deny 'Quantum Science about living in a simulation and consciousness' - quantum science has nothing to say about either living in a simulation or consciousness. As for NDEs, people who are near death sometimes report vivid...

    In what sense is it the afterlife if they are alive the whole time?

    If ghosts are real, then they aren’t supernatural
