Lost Roman Map

[JohnEmmett]

Why?

Death is the end of the usefulness of science

Then what?

 

[SelfSim]

Death is the end of the usefulness of science

Maybe for the individual .. but obviously not so far for human civilisation.

 

[JohnEmmett]

Maybe for the individual … but

Aren’t you the individual

 

[SelfSim]

Aren’t you the individual

I am an individual .. but by no means the individual.

 

[JohnEmmett]

I am an individual …

Human life is brief… then the afterlife

 

[SelfSim]

Human life is brief… then the afterlife

Yes .. human life persists after my life disappears .. there is abundant evidence for this.

 

[JohnEmmett]

human life persists after my life disappears

your life will not disappear

 

[SelfSim]

your life will not disappear

Hmm .. my life, (hopefully), will persist in others' memories of me, as a perception, but my life will no longer exist as part of objective reality.

 

[JohnEmmett]

but my life will no longer exist as part of objective reality.

you deserve to be disappointed

 

[SelfSim]

you deserve to be disappointed

Hmm .. up until that comment, I was enjoying this rather pleasant conversation.
A little unnecessary, wouldn't you say?

 

[JohnEmmett]

A little unnecessary, wouldn't you say?

since you will not cease to exist, you will be disappointed

 

[SelfSim]

since you will not cease to exist, you will be disappointed

.. or .. since my memory may not persist, there is uncertainty.
How I feel about that, is my business and therefore, not something you can necessarily tell me about.

 

[JohnEmmett]

The future has been told…

 

[SelfSim]

The future has been told…

Not to me it hasn't.
Cheers

 

[JohnEmmett]

Not to me it hasn't.
Cheers
