I came across this thread today in the Consciousness & Science sub-forum.
I for one wonder continuously how can and why persons draw such obvious non sequitur conclusions.

Here are the replies so far.

As you people are a lot smarter than I am, does the idea of a holographic universe add validity to our conscience existing outside of our physical brain?
Well this seems to give more wight to the veracity of NDE in the sense that they are very likely to be a window to other dimensions.
While the idea that the universe is a computer simulation or some kind of special construct seems to be increasingly acceptable, I usually see people use this as yet another argument against expanded consciousness. One such response I saw said that there was no room for an afterlife in a simulation.
I usually wonder a few things about comments like that:
I think it makes sense for this all to be a huge Minecraft. People zonk out playing video games in a lot of places, and given how a lot of conscious patterns are recurrent I don't see why spirits wouldn't make a construct to do the same thing.
- Complex systems tend to have garbage collection, which means some amount of resources are held over after use until they are needed again. A strange form of afterlife and reincarnation, if you will, is when an object resides in yet-to-be-reclaimed space.
- It seems inconcievable to people making comments like that, for there to be 'players' in the giant universe 'game.'
