I don't know...|||I'd have to read the book before I can give a real opinion on it, but the idea that there are no fundamental differences between the sexes is obviously absurd and I am not sure why so many people...|||This is actually the only racist/sexist thing in this thread.|||The OP was being incredibly facetious....

When you inhale helium the oxygen in your lungs gets displaced. Obviously too much oxygen depletion and you pass out, more than that and...|||The purpose of the thread is to provide your reasoning for what you think happens to consciousness/conscious experience after death. Your response is that nothing happens - ie, there is nothing that...|||I think he's questioning the premise that death is the absence of experience, by definition. Which is why he opened by saying that most people believe death to be like a kind of dreamless sleep, but...|||I wouldn't say I'm sure of my position, but I think that consciousness ceases at death. I think that the brain facilitates the mind and if the brain ceases to function (dies) then the mind can no...|||Sounds like good customer service I guess and I don't see any immediate reason for concern. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth, and all that....|||This has started to strike me as an odd question as of late. If my life is a river, winding towards a sea whose proximity is obscured by rocks and trees, then what does it mean to ask if I am happy...|||Literally never heard this word before in my life.
