Honestly, Wagner does nothing for my brain. Totally overrated composer.
The memories continue to exist but not in the physical brain ?????
So where then?
and how do you know if they exist if you can't access them with your brain?
These people are strange who like to "believe" something exists yet there's no way of discovering it.
Very interesting channel, quality debates. I tend to side with the theists rather than the atheists.
Every seven years, the entire organic matter of a human body is replaced by the DNA , and even the Neuron Cells are rebuilt atomically bit by bit, while respirating. Now, the only connection between entirely different collections of matter over time is the continuity of memory and passion. So then if you survive the replacement of your body continually , you should be able to survive your body indefinitely, implying some other sort of attachment and report of data is conserved elsewhere, but not in the physical matter .
Obviously the concrete material matter plays a role, but a finite role, and information must pass from collection to collection to continue, or else, the information is reporting to some higher dimension or invisible matter , say a dark matter , and so all life forms attached to what is paritied as a vine and branches, weave into some unseen larger overall life form hovering around everything. Otherwise, the person who was once seven years old as a child is absolutely dead and gone , and some replica person is taking the place of the former self, and that would be a delusional experience. So if you want to consider God as a delusion , then two delusions combined may be a reality. On the other hand, if anything is true , something real must be a constant value , if replacement biology functions effectively so that though you perpetuate numerous recreations of the same person , like a snake shedding it's skin routinely , the answer to explain the mind maintaining some perplexing image of a self that outweighs this transitional reformation of the matter of a body , then you need a very good theory of God. Otherwise your answers from Atheism is as good as tits on a bull.
I'll never forget hearing Isolde Liebestod.
Wagner means very little to someone who has no ear mechanism; does that mean meaning is in the ear?
