2022-04-1212:14

In this episode I explain what dualism and nondualism are, and explain why Ricky Gervais is actually a dualist, even though he doesn't believe in souls or anything supernatural. I talk about consciousness as a function of the brain (brains do consciousness rather than consciousness being something that can exist as a separate thing outside of the brain). I explain why death is not an escape from conscious experience. You can find more of my content on my YouTube channel, NaturalisTed.

This episode explains why atheists shouldn't expect death to be followed by a black void of nothingness. Sam Harris discussed Generic Subjective Continuity in his Making Sense Podcast Episode called The Paradox Of Death - Here I attempt to explain it in a way that everyone can hopefully understand. I then explain some of the implications (how it relates to David Benatar's Antinatalism, and some other areas). I may do future episodes on GSC.
