The Argument from Change: 1. Death of your body marks a change in spatial arrangement of matter. 2. You don't depend on any spatial arrangement of matter (by reason and experience). 3. Therefore, you don't depend on whether your body is dead. 4. If you don't depend on whether your body is dead, then there is life after death. 5. Therefore, there is life after death.

Could this be explained via selection-effect? Many cases, some go into remission for unknown reasons, some of them coincide with prayer. youtube.com/watch?v=G6Zu0iAh…

Here I draw on the work of my friends Josh Rasmussen (@worldviewdesign) and Andrew Bailey (@resistancemoney ) to suggest that there may be an in-principle construction problem when it comes to creating artificial minds. 🔗⬇️

My kids have taught me (many times) that one way to bring sadness into the world is to ADD value to the world that not everyone can have.
