If you go to a really high place, and look over the edge far enough, you'll find out.
Do you think that preserving my brain after the fact makes falling from a really high place any less unpleasant? Or are you appealing to my emotions (fear of death)?
Don't feed the troll.
Sorry for being snarky. I am sincere. I really do think that death is not such a big deal. It sucks, but it sucks only because of the negative sensations it causes in those left behind. All that said, I don't think you gave me anything but an appeal to emotion.
Arguing we should seek pleasurable experiences is also an appeal to emotion.
It's different. The fact that I feel bad when confronted with my own mortality doesn't mean that mortality is bad. The fact that I feel bad when so confronted does mean that the feeling is bad.
I'm curious. What is your position on wireheading?
