Yeah, you saw it too? The gaping chasm of semantic-space he expects people to fall into? You see it? But I appreciate you saying that though.
Hym "Nah, you know that by 'Soul' I mean 'The energy that powers your Meat-Gundam and leaves your body when you die. Can't be created or destroyed. Comprises your thoughts.' It's also interesting to consider the process by which new ideas are inseminated. Like the idea of a "God." Where did the idea come from in a pre-God world? The concept of a God was (at one point in human history) was not stored in a single human brain. It has to come from somewhere, doesn't it? So, how does electricity traveling through the brain create an abstraction to store within the meat-jelly for later recollection?

I would posit that the information is ALREADY stored within the 'energy' and the brain acts as an extraction tool. That the energy itself informs our brain just as much as sensory data and that our goal in understanding consciousness should be finding a way to decode/unlock/translate this information. So, for clarity, I'll give you an example: Say I think of an apple. You could scan my brain and see the areas of my brain light up. If you were to find a way to externally stimulate the exact same parts of the brain; would you be able to make me think of an apple against my will? Now, I'm not talking about a feeling (like "can you stimulate my brain into feeling afraid?") Does 'apple' exist in the part of the brain being stimulated and can you access it externally? Will ANY electric current stimulating the EXACT same parts of the brain create the same imaginary apple that exists in my mind right now? Does the mind inform the mind by way of electrical signal or does the electrical signal inform the mind? Is the part of my brain that houses the concept of 'Apple' sending a signal to the part of the brain that conceptualizes 'Apple' OR is the act... of 'thinking of apple' generating this electrical current... that IS 'apple'? You follow? I don't know I'm running out of characters. It's something to consider, I guess... Or rubbish. Either way... Yeah... That's what I mean by soul."

Get the Burning hate in my soulmug. The energy of an unliving organism that has no where to go but to form as a transparent, intactile being which lives upon earth for eternity.

Get the Soulmug. A Game Thats Simular to Dark Souls, but isn't, but also is, so we give it a shitty name instead of Souls-like so everyone knows the difference

Get the Souls-litemug. After meeting her and spending time with her, I realized she was going to be my new soul model. She had such a beautiful spirit.
