Death through the eyes of an atheist

At min: 0:17 the Ian richardson says: Everything that makes up our identity is in the physical brain, our personality, sense of humor, mannerisms, memories, moods, cognitive ability, and all our little strengths and weaknesses, are not eternal. Physical trauma and chemical imbalances with in our skull can change us.

When I look in a brain I do not see any of these things. I see a clump of matter No matter how small a piece of the brain I look at, even with a microscope, I still do not see a personality, memories, feelings, etc. The brain is not identical to the consciousness it produces. Just like A TV is not identical to the TV show that it produces. I do not see a TV show when I look inside a TV set.

At min: 0:39 There is no rational reason to believe that we exist after our physical brain shuts down.

What is necessary for your brain to reverse the shut down?

When your brain does not produce your consciousness it does not produce your consciousness. But the same thing that produced your consciousness can exist in another brain and that thing is the structure and functioning of the brain. No supernatural stuff no information needs to be transferred to this other brain because this other brain would not know how to process this information.

At min: 1:06 Wouldn't it be nice and comforting to believe that our lost ones will someday be reunited. These dreams only exist for those who can believe based on convenience, desire, fear, and supernaturalism.

Reuniting with loved ones can be accomplished is several different ways depending on what specific goals are needed to be achieved without any supernatural processes, objects, concepts.

At min: 2:03 the speaker says: Death is the great equalizer of mankind. The grim reaper doesn't care about our status or celebrity, against this foe there is no ultimate victory.

At min: 2:32 the speaker says: Every day there is a song that is played for the last time.

The concept of a song being played for the last time is a very poor analogy for a person's consciousness, because the consciousness produced by a brain is constantly changing. What you experience today is not exactly the same as what you experienced yesterday. Human consciousness is more like ever changing variations of a song being played.

The writer of this video believes he has certain knowledge and a correct understanding of what creates consciousness and the self. However, he believes that the only alternatives about death are either it is final, or for life after death to exist there has to be supernatural causes and explanations which clearly are irrational. Superimmortality supplies a third type of theory that is not based on any supernatural concepts. It is totally coherent with science. There are no scientific laws that have to be broken or bended to make superimmortality work. In fact, it makes the belief that death is final simple minded and even irrational. The assumption that death is final requires some supernatural thing that can actually permanently end, rather than just matter rearranging itself in ever changing new forms. When you die the matter that was producing a consciousness that you experience is no longer producing you. Recreate the any structure and functioning of matter that did or can produce a consciousness you will experience and you have reproduced you again.

For superimmortality to be true there is no need for religions or gods so superimmortality leads to superatheism. Super
