“There's definitely something after death—consciousness continues in some form”
Agree
- Near-death experiences are too consistent
- Energy can't be created or destroyed
- Consciousness might exist beyond the brain
- Every culture independently believes this
- Something about existence feels eternal
Disagree
- No credible evidence exists
- Brain death ends all neural activity
- Wishful thinking isn't proof
- Consciousness requires a physical substrate
- Anesthesia proves it's all brain-based
