Yes, consciousness has everything to do with a living brain, not a dead brain. |
So when LadyShea dies LadyShea's consciousness ceases to exist, right? |
I don't know how many times I've said this but yes. |
So then LadyShea will not always be here, although peacegirl said to LadyShea

the very fact that I am talking to you means that YOU are here as an expression of this potential consciousness. That's why I am using a personal pronoun, and that's why YOU will always be here.

So please make Lessans argument without using any pronouns. If peacegirl can make the argument without pronouns, then LadyShea will better understand what peacegirl and Lessans are trying to say.
The use of pronouns to refer to individuals and not individuals at the same time is illicit and confusing. If Lessans argument relies on the use of pronouns, then it is nothing but word games.
