npub19fcv2nflra09c6p9xz8c8detwj6uy07u4z4m25qh836mnvxtatdq6aay3c (npub19fc…ay3c) I’m not sure, as my definition of consciousness is still undergoing empirical revision. There are a few things that I am relatively sure of.
First, when electrical and chemical activity ceases in my nervous system, there will be an alteration in my consciousness. Whether that alteration will be a cessation or a transition to a new state I have insufficient data to determine.
Second, when that alteration occurs, either I will have evidence that the answer is “No, consciousness does not terminate” or, if it does terminate, I will no longer exist to care about the answer.
