Stephen Hawking: "afterlife is a fairy tale"

[@My_nameaintearl]

Consciousness is a function of the brain, so we actually can make factual statements about how death affects it.

Well maybe you know better than say the people that contribute to the Oxford Journal who say that consciousness as a brain function is an ASSUMPTION not a fact....

NOT.

Moreover, unless an individual dies andis somehow able to record or transmit their experience then we will never know.

You getting sloppy KKKTULU

SMH @ ktulu in this Biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitch

Hawking can only speculate like the rest of us. There's way too much unexplained phenomena in this universe for us to dismiss anything as a possibility.

PEACE

Other than that you live and you die, the consciousness can't tell you what happens beyond that.

Although I think Hawkings is lame for the quasi-theism he exhibits at times, I don't disagree with the quoted statements.

Mainly because he's not saying anything new or unheard of here.

I agree with him, but he can't prove and I can't prove it. On the other hand, those that think that the afterlife exists can't prove it either. It all comes down to belief and I certainly believe that we have inferior understanding so I can still wrap my brain around there possibly being a single higher being or multiple ones, but us being saved by the higher being or higher beings is just a fairytale to me because we are not that important, but I salute those that make the next man feel important, that is very big of you.
