I medically died a couple years back. I don’t remember a thing, so perhaps you are right. Still curious.

I medically died a couple years back. I don’t remember a thing, so perhaps you are right. Still curious.
- dmd 6mo agoThe concept of “medically died” is kind of ridiculous. Are you alive? Then you weren’t dead.
- goolz 6mo agoIt is a clinical term, you are arguing over semantics. Cardiopulmonary death to be specific. My point is: no one knows, not you, not me, and not my dog.
- lostmsu 6mo agoI don't know what's behind a wall I'm sitting next to right now, but I'm reasonably sure there's a street. I'm also reasonably sure the comment about "you've been dead" is also a very accurate prediction.
- goolz 6mo agoThat wall is concrete and material. Death is not so much. I am reasonably sure you can do that with great accuracy while still having zero idea what lies in wait for us after we die. A false equivalence.
- lostmsu 6mo ago> concrete and material Are as abstract as death. Names that we use to label certain phenomenon. You need more to demonstrate that the equivalence is false here.
- boxed 6mo ago"Semantics" is literally "what words mean" so yea, arguing over semantics is pretty important! Not something to dismiss.
- m463 6mo agoI've had procedures at the hospital two ways... One is general anaesthesia, where you are "out" The other is with something like fentanyl where you could have a whole conversation during the procedure, but when you finish the procedure, you don't remember it. The experience afterwards is pretty much identical, but philosophically both seem very different.
