Simulation constraints, afterlife beliefs, and common-sense dualism
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 29 (5):462-463 (2006)
Abstract
Simulation constraints cannot help in explaining afterlife beliefs in general because belief in an afterlife is a precondition for running a simulation. Instead, an explanation may be found by examining more deeply our common-sense dualistic conception of the mind or soul.Author's Profile
