Predictability of ixperiencitness argument
More actions
To predict something existing somewhere or sometime that thing has to exist or at least potentially exist. Ixperiencitness exists and has various differences. In other words more than one different ixperiencitness can exist. Human bodies produce consciousness. If a body produces your ixperiencitness you experience the consciousness it produces. Your consciousness and your body are constantly changing over time. What ties these changes together into your life is the fact that you experience these changes in consciousness produced by the changes in the body. The ixperiencitness concept ties the self together over the changes in time, space, matter and the structures and functionings of matter that the body progresses through.
Mortal theorists believe that when a person dies it is permanent and they will never consciously experience anything ever again. Many religious theorists tie the self to a soul and if they believe this soul is immortal then they believe that the self is immortal. Since the ixperiencitness concept is relatively new these theorist have not had much of a chance to integrate the ixperiencitness concept into their belief systems. The problem with the predictability of a soul theory of the self is that there is no scientific evidence that they exist and if they did exist they can not be identified nor can they be distinguished between each other.
The mortalist theory predicts that there is an end to the self usually with the death of the person's body. When this is explained with the ixperiencitness concept it means that since you will not consciously exist again ever after the death of your body your ixperiencitness is permanently gone as well. This on the surface seem very predictive. Now compare this prediction to the predictive power of superimmortality. The science of superimmortality predicts that what is important in determining the self is the structures and functionings of matter not a specific body. We know by studying the body that over time the body changes in many different ways but it still produces the self ---- a varying consciousness that you experience. The body changes in the placement and orientation it is in space. It proceeds through time and the universe that is changing around it. The matter in the body is replaced and interchanged with matter in the body and matter outside of the body. The body's shape, size and composition is changing along with its structure and functioning. Something about the continuous and or continuity of the body is what mortalists predicts connects all of this change into one connected conscious self.
