>> And how does life being infinite suddenly make it meaningful for you? Good point. Not about me though, many people derive meaning out of life being infinite, which is what I guess underlies even the conceptualization of reincarnati

Of course. We are intending to compare only the first part, i.e., going into the period of blackout. The original commentator's [1] is claiming that the experience of death is similar to the experience of going into blackout with anes

Yes, I take it's a hypothetical scenario, at least practically, if not theoretically also. My point with that hypothetical scenario, which I should have more explicitly stated, is to counter points of views I often hear on importance

I think my use of the word 'negatively' has caused a confusion. Sorry about that. What I am asking is about your comparison below. You have experienced anesthesia but not death, then how do you say the following? >> So I&#

Why is the similarity interesting? Isn't that rather expected, being about aspects of the brain, as opposed to that of the times or cultures?

by alok-g 4y ago
The difference is clear. For anesthesia, it's the same brain waking up. That's not the case with death. The sense of identity should by default be associated with the brain, not with consciousness, etc.

Your experiences only tell you that those were like switching the memory recorder off. It's unclear to me yet how you are able to compare it negatively to the experience of dying.

I would like to hear more on this. Am somewhat playing a devil's advocate, but am genuinely unclear too. What's the higher importance of the impact left on the world. As per the comment you replied to, it will ultimately be mult

A related relevant question is about the huge investments they had. How did they manage to raise so much?

If that's the true reason, what explains the huge funding they had. Wouldn't the investors also know?
