Consciousness, Brain Functions and Afterlife - Philosophy with Matthew Riddle and Darren McEnaney Episode 22

"And the idea that you would sort of blink out of existence or death, as someone like Dawkins might argue, I don't think that's a scientific statement at all. It relies on a philosophy that isn't being talked about underneath."

Despite what science says, it actually doesn't make more sense than our consciousness being downloaded by brain and continuing on after our death, that our consciousness would be created by a brain, which is non-conscious matter. What makes me a me? Where in our body is our consciousness stored? How does the English language, versus French, make us over identify with our bodies and treat temporary states as permanent? When were the first humans and do actions from that time still affect us today? Why was it that monkeys evolved the most? Could there have been a time other species, such as reptiles, evolved to the consciousness level of humans. Will a plastic eating bacteria save us? No you don't need to believe in God to think there is an afterlife.

Matthew Riddle of Consciousness Matters and Darren McEnaney of Seeking I delve into the philosophy of science, afterlife and consciousness.

What we talk about in this Episode:

- What exactly is philosophy? It seems to mean something different to all three of them, and what role does science play in philosophy.

- Is consciousness created by the brain? That is seemingly the scientifically logical explanation, but when you start examining, it is not necessarily as logical as it seems.

- They discuss one of the biggest philosophical questions, what makes "me myself" or what makes "you yourself." How much are innate personality traits? How much personality is biological? If we have past lives, does that contribute to who we are in any way.

- Where in our body is our consciousness stored? Is it really only our brain? We also feel so much in other parts of our body, such as our gut.

- If we do live previous lives, how does that impact our life today? Every action by every person in history has impacted the world today in some way.

- When were the first humans. Could there have been other civilizations way before the first known humans, who were wiped out? Or self destructed.

- You do not need to believe in God to think there is an afterlife.

- How psychedelics were transformative and eye-opening into other states of consciousness for Matt.
