Simplicity arguments
More actions
The Simplicity arguments are based on the fact that the ixperiencit theory of consciousness and consequently the science of superimmortality creates a much more simply based theory. The basic idea of superimmortality is the same physapath will always produce the same awarepath and ixpepath. Religious theories use supernatural concepts that do not actually exist, and thus their supposed properties are just speculation. For example, is the soul immortal or can it at some time no longer exist. What, if any memories, does the soul or a persons spirt carry before or after death? How does the soul relate to the body, ixperiencitness concept and consciousness? When supernatural concepts are added to a theory, it becomes more complicated and, or gives less useful information or no added useful information at all.
The second type of theory is the one that predicts that the ixperiencitness that a body produces can never be produced again after death. This belief is often held by people that are not religious. But it is not stated this way. It is often stated as "You only have one life and it permanently ends at death" This is a simple enough statement. It would seems to be very obvious. We do not see people that are really dead for a long enough period of time alive again. The assertion is that when a person is actually dead long enough, there are no natural sets of circumstances when he will experience begin alive again. What has to be done to matter to produce a specific ixperiencitness. Nature naturally produced each person's ixperiencitness once so why can't it do it again? We know that the matter in a body produced a specific ixperiencitness once, so what conditions have been switched on at the death of this body now that did not exist before?
What are the physical conditions that allow a specific ixperiencitness to be produced by a body and no other before a persons death and then switch to another ixperiencitness upon different types of body restoration? For example, there are different stages of body decomposition. The ixperiencitness theory of consciousness predicts that the restoration of any body with any amount of old matter will recreate the same ixperiencitness upon the restoration of any previous structure and functioning that did or would have produced that ixperiencitness. So any restoration of the structure and functioning at any point in that person's previous life will produce that persons ixperiencitness and the same conscious as that original body did. Also any divergence in the original's structure and functioning that would have produced the same ixperiencitness would produce also produce the same ixperiencitness in the restored body.
