For example, it was recently proposed to me that everyone has a soul, and it is the pattern of electricity in your brain. This pattern lives on after you die.

If you add "... in the TL4 set of all mathematical structures," this would be trivially true to a lot of folks around here.

(But taking any kind of personal hope in this fact would remain kinda silly, like browsing a random shelf in the Library of Babel in search of good reading material.)
