You're applying metaphysics where there needn't be any by stating that 'we are one with the universe', or you are stating the obvious in the fact that we are part of the universe. Yes, the only separation between person to person is the fact that they do not occupy the same brain. Rather they...

The reason you are you, and not somebody else, is because then you wouldn't be you. You'd be someone else. Who would therefore be you. So you're going to be you no matter what way you look at it. What makes a person is genealogy and experience. You are you because you were born in a brain, and...

But the cake is not a lie, I've seen it. It looked delicious.

Wow, that trailer looks amazing. The only thing I ever found lacking with Bioware's more fantasy-orientated games was the clunkiness of the gameplay, but this just looks amazing. I can't wait. Mass Effect is one of my favorite series(s?), and I love the story a hell of a lot (although I think...

I disagree with the assumption you made of point b) (not point b) itself, although of that I am unsure). You state that because matter is (let's assume) replaced in the brain, then the "soul" cannot be held within that matter. I say that there is nothing special about any particular atom, and...

There is also the sociological reasoning behind it. I think it's worth note that we used to need to hunt and eat other animals to stay alive, and this has wormed its way into tradition and social acceptance globally because of the uniform fact that creatures must kill to survive. As well as...
