[extropy-chat] "Dead Time" of the Brain

[A B]

Hi John,
   
  I agree. Even if the premise is true, it is not going to change the way I conduct my life.
  I am still going to sign up for cryonics, all the same. But, I think it would be extremely interesting if this premise could be shown to be true or at least probable, only because it would carry profound philosophical implications.
   
  Best Wishes,

Your use of the word "only" puzzles me. I don't know if the above is true or
not, but I do know it's utterly unimportant. I don't care if I'm "really"
(whatever that means) dead or not, if I think I'm alive then that's good
enough for me. I mean, what more could you want?
