I was the guy who bought it. I'm making a black hole as I type this. I thought I should advertise it to fakku so I can brag about it.

That is called an example. There are many other ways of committing this fallacy.

You have the need for something to happen after death. I've given you a reasonable and logical explanation, and yet you ignored what it meant and simply dismissed it with a "meh." Just because it isn't cool and exciting enough, you call it bullshit. It's like reason and logic zips right over your head, and you didn't even get a glimpse of it. Ya, I'm done here.

You should really consider becoming one TODAY!

This will be you:

It's not like this is about religion or god.

Those are my kind of animals.

Let's not. There are things that need to be addressed:





It is the reasoning that led you to your conclusion that is fallacious. Not only that, but you base your conclusion on personal incredulity and some random assumptions that you made up.

To reach a conclusion, we start with premises. You say:

You have that half right. I start the path to my conclusion with the premise that the material brain is enough to explain the existence of consciousness and that consciousness is effected by what happens to the brain (which is bolstered by scientific evidence). Through proper logical progression, I can assume that if the brain stopped operating, all that made a person think, feel, or see would stop as well. At this point, I come to the conclusion that when a person dies, the consciousness dies with them. I have arrived to a logical conclusion, but for some reason you don't even see it as a conclusion as you keep accusing me of "stopping at death." Maybe it's because you don't even accept it as an explanation (which it is) as you mentioned that:

Bet let me assure you, I have made that leap. I have not stopped with death, as my conclusion directly addresses what I believe happens with our consciousness after death. But why is this more logical than your view? Let's see what leads you to your conclusion (based on what you wrote in this thread):


therefore, your conclusion is:

Why does our consciousness have to go somewhere? Why do you have to start as a new consciousness? There is no evidence at all to support that premise. Then you progress to your conclusion by using fallacious logic; the classical argument from incredulity. Your conclusion ends up being based on something randomly made up and personal incredulity.


Have you ever been unconscious and not dreaming? Sure you have. This is where you can't experience sight, feeling, thought, or anything else a conscious person might experience. That is nothingness.

Forget the argument from ignorance, read the "argument from incredulity" part.
For example:



The context is reincarnation, and how you believe the consciousness has to persist even after death. My retort was precisely on point.

Please show where I say that my belief is the TRUTH.


Please show where I use the argument from popularity


Sacred Cow is used as a metaphor to describe someone's very cherished beliefs. No religious meaning attached.


HA! We're done here.

You're acting as if the atheist community of fakku is attacking you. Chill the fuck out.

Consciousness is a bunch of signals being sent through neurons. Consciousness ceases to be when the brain stops sending these signals. Matter is not being created nor destroyed, bro.

I never mentioned/used that in this discussion, so why the fuck bring it up?

Of course it's a belief. The difference between your belief and my own is that mine is based on the scientific discoveries of the brain, while yours is based on personal incredulity.

It seems to me from your reaction that "reincarnation" is your sacred cow. It's like you'll defend it as hard as you can and never let go of it no matter what.

Fallacious reasoning nonetheless, methinks.

I'm amused at how you liken Priests to Scientists, because it's not like the opinions of scientists are based on research, evidence, and reason. The thing is, "nothingness" is the most reasonable explanation. Based on the findings of science, we have discovered that the material brain directly effects consciousness. What that means is, if we fuck around with someone's brain a bit, we can make them feel and think differently. The "ghost in the machine (soul)" is a superfluous explanation for the consciousness of human beings. Basically, "souls" aren't necessary.

It is fallacious reasoning like this that has people making such hasty conclusions. How disappointing.

LOOK OUT! Your dick is gonna get assassinated for speaking such vulgarity. Shit, there's a gun pointing at it right now!

So I was on the phone and I was like, "WAZZUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP!!!!"
And my nigga responded with, "Hello kind sir."

Fake story.

Mkay, and? I don't see much of a discussion coming from this. Fucking youtube drama.

I just remembered something: Now that he has some kind of power, he has to be all professional and shit. Don't you go doing anything that's not very mod-like now, you big meanie.
