The concept of “medically died” is kind of ridiculous. Are you alive? Then you weren’t dead.

The 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.
