Thread: New Technology Could Enable You To Record And Reconstruct Your Own Dreams!

Weell. I read convincing science fiction where it works and also convincing sf where it doesn't.
As far as I know - the Buddhists claim there is no continuity in consciousness anyway - not even from second to second. How they can then come to the weird idea that after death then suddenly there is continuity in that never-ending discontinuity and with karma-seeds coming into some sort of causal fruition over to your next incarnation - I simply cannot follow that "logic".
Oh dear - I found out lately that my husband is a closet Buddhist, but he likes to ignore this conundrum, can't explain it to me, but is ardently of the opinion, that all my objections wouldn't apply, since I wouldn't understand it properly.
But - he's unable to even express it in words so that it makes sense to his own ears - he just believes, all the rest would be so wise and precious, that I shouldn't think, I can so easily call bullshit on karma and reincarnation. And it would anyways only be peripheral. Weell.
Got something to do much closer to home than I expected - I wonder if I wanted to even know that - I thought he only meditates. Do I write to my own husband now - quoting texts and showing him, that I indeed can? Can call bullshit, I mean. Gosh - I guess, I will sort of have to...
I'll report next door then - but we had a discussion yesterday which left me flabbergasted - he didn't shy away from several clear fallacies - even right-out dishonest tactics like changing the goalposts all the time, trying to change the topic and and. Wow! Well - I can't un-know that now...

Ah - and Louai - science fiction is for my understanding not something impossible, but something potentially possible!
But I'm not so sure I believe in your "bundle ego" - where do you have the term from?
Maybe consciousness is not an irreducible phenomenon after all - I guess we really know too little to properly speculate over such things.
Maybe one can "copy" some part of one somewhere else and then somehow re-integrate the experiences made, maybe in an incorporeal form, back into the main persona? Who knows? I don't!

If you had a clone, say, and you, as in your old body, would die in the transfer while your "pattern" is continuously transferred from one substrate to the next - with cables, say - maybe that could work in terms of continuous identity?
I really wouldn't want to place a bet on that matter, if some time-traveller would ask me to.
