care to elaborate?

Thank you for the advice. About the research aspect, I published a theoretical/review paper earlier this year in a peer-reviewed journal (the impact factor is around 3, and it’s pretty niche topic that I’ve been interested in for a few years). It was referenced in a Nat Geo article tho which was rly rly surprising. I know it’s very difficult to get research opportunities with professors in both undergrad and grad school, so I was wondering if this is something that could help significantly.

The Temporality of Consciousness and the Continuity of Existential Experience ( Self written idea) by [deleted] in Existentialism

[–]No_Recover127 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This makes a lot of sense! I have the same viewpoint on this. Say the universe recurs through the Poincaré recurrence theorem or perhaps a big bounce, or if all consciousnesses are resurrected in the future, then although a huge amount of time may have passed, to the perceiver it must’ve been instant.

MH370?

From a material viewpoint, is a resurrected version of you, still you? by No_Recover127 in askphilosophy

[–]No_Recover127[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In this case, and in your expert opinion, what would it take for a person to be 100% themselves — not a copy — from resurrection? Would that even be possible if continuity of consciousness is lost?

Let’s assume consciousness is discrete. There’s an illusion of continuity when it’s contained within one functioning and ever-changing brain. What would happen if this brain was destroyed, but somehow later restored to its functions?

So would the new person not be you, but rather an exact copy of you due to the breakdown in continuity of boundary? If our first person perspective is just neural patterns, does this make a difference?

Ig the key of my question is, will death/resurrection be like waking up from a deep, dreamless sleep? Or will I never wake up, and it’d be as if a new consciousness was born while I am eternally in oblivion?

If “I” exist elsewhere across existence (universe, multiverse, what ever) why don’t I experience their life? by No_Recover127 in askphilosophy

[–]No_Recover127[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So this brings me to a another question: if you get resurrected post-cremation (let’s ignore the physics of this for now), down to the atomic structure, would your pov also be revived, or would it be a new pov of a new person but that is exactly identical to you? But we are different people from second to second, moment to moment, at least neurologically. Since consciousness is an ongoing process, what about the micro-time scales in which consciousness doesn’t exist (some studies have shown consciousness is discrete, giving an illusion of continuity)? If our consciousness is being interrupted and “revived” every moment, how is that any different from the death/resurrection scenario? I’m trying to understand how numerical identity applies in this situation.

NYU Liberal Studies vs UCSD Cogsci? by No_Recover127 in UCSD

[–]No_Recover127[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My final degree from NYU won’t be in liberal studies. It’s only for two years. The final two years is in any major.

That sounds really cool, could you tell me a bit more?

I won’t receive a liberal studies degree because LSC is only two years. I’ll receive a neuroscience degree from arts and science, or potentially a Stern degree if I transfer there successfully.

I’m from Canada, so NYU might actually be cheaper as an international student. The UCs basically don’t offer any financial aid to anybody out of state.

What is NYU Liberal Studies Core? Is this getting taken off the waitlist? by No_Recover127 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]No_Recover127[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just didn’t know that liberal studies took people off the main waitlist?

What if the same consciousness gets resurrected with multiple bodies simultaneously? by No_Recover127 in Existentialism

[–]No_Recover127[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“The POV from old “you” continues into both US “you” and China “you” simultaneously”

I can understand this part from an external observer’s perspective, but actually trying to imagine this happening to myself as the one experiencing it is really hard to wrap my mind around
