"The evidence points the other way.
Ideas, information in general, needs to be somewhere."


A thousand years ago an uneducated aborigine tribesman went to get a drink from a stream in Australia. He picked up a flat thing laying on the bank and skipped it across the water.

I did the same thing when I went camping a couple of weeks ago in Colorado. The thing was a rock and I knew it. I figure the person in Australia also knew it was a rock, though he probably thought of it in a different language. There is no direct or indirect cultural link between us for information sharing.

"ideas...needs to be somewhere."

Where?

Everything is information... no? So what's the point?

<There is a great deal of evidence to non-physical mind once you allow your self to peer out of the lab.-- "No more than the evidence that your pancreas can be non-physical just because you don't feel it."

No no, it's incorrect to say that... the mind body problem (according to "Science" magazine) is number 2 in importance out of 125 top scientific questions, right behind "What is the universe made of?" You are mis-speaking here.

The best way to let your ideas live on after your brain is gone is to write them down, of course an epic saga might do the trick if you teach it to someone.

I really liked that ...
