Saying that the mind is still active after the brain is dead is saying that the water in a resovoir can still pump itself when the pump is dead...it doesn't make sense...

yes, the electrical charges may take a while to exit the body, but it doesn't mean they can be transferred and formulated into thoughts.

Does that make sense? This is all so complicated...

I'm not angry at all by the way, merely just trying to have a comprehensive conversation, no hard feelings whatsoever

actually no, saying the mind is alive after the brain is dead is more like saying the water still exists, even after the reservoir is dry.


it just doesnt exist in the reservoir anymore.


I cannot say exactly where it goes, if anywhere, but i do believe that nothingness is the key.


Thoughts and ideas precede the brain. the brain just exists to draw them into a physical representation through our actions and our words.
