What, exactly, does the article conclude, in your opinion? (I'm genuinely asking)
The strongest formulation I can come up with is:
"NDE studies also suggest that after physical death, mind and consciousness may continue in a transcendent level of reality that normally is not accessible to our senses and awareness."
However, nowhere in the article does the article's author offer a single/summary explanation of NDEs/OBEs, from what I saw.
- kposehn 15y agoAt the moment, all it does is provide some talking points. I'm not really swayed either way, as I don't have sufficient data to make a good conclusion (and I need to do further research into it). I'm actually enjoying some of the comments here as they're providing good insight.
- WalterSear 15y agoThe hand waving swayed me. If someone insists on speaking with no tangible data, presenting conclusions that clash with occam's razor, then I will be less likely to listen to them going forward.
- tfm 15y agoIt's a genuinely interesting read, even if it does lean on the Astonishing Particular Items Of Proof trope more than a little heavily, but the moment it got to the words "in my opinion, the answer is ..." my eyes glazeth over and skim mode began. Once an author has weighed in with their personal interpretation, the only refutations available will be ad hominem. "I'm not calling you a liar, but I can't think of a way to end this sentence."
