But why expect and plan for something that makes no sense? Sure, we can’t prove there’s no continued sentience once the brain dies, but there’s no logic that leads to that. It’s just wishful thinking. And that’s how people have been duped into religious mumbo jumbo for ever.
I’m not expecting or planning for anything, that’s kind of the point. I’m not expecting one specific outcome. It’s actually really freeing, because I’m not stuck searching for meaning in an existence that offers none.
And if it turns out that it does all just go black, it won’t be my problem anymore, will it?
