    After my earthly death, If I exist in another form, time, or place, I will embrace my new existence. If this is all there is, I have had a life worth living and am happy to have lived it.

    ponder silently, out of respect"

    Interesting. According to my dotted lines it was addressed to JohnPE1 and still is. I've been looking up and reading about objectivism logics which appear to come from two sources and explained in neither one. nor the other. Took about ten minutes using A to Z and a Google search. Just to help out a little. I am reminded of the non existent sources in Reason Magazine. But then I tend to deal with the real world where results are produced or the effort used for more productive matters.

    I don't know Michael, any more than I know why you address your comment to me. I didn't Post the question and I don't see a question in my comment that you're replying to.

    But what the heck, I've never seen that kind of detail slow you down before.

    Why would I care. A is A, Dead Is Dead. However IF there is something after I will have to deal with it and that time beyond that very, to me, irrational projection of a totally unsupported theory the answer int he words of Aflred E. Neuman is .. What? Me Worrry?

    I will give you the secret of immortality and life after death. It's in how you prepare your children and other young people to face 'here' and 'now.' The rest is the stuff of Witch Doctors and accepted only by those who are afraid of the dark.

    I have no rational basis for a conclusion. I'm not in any hurry for the experience.

    of course. . I just think that I will fade out and be gone.
    all of the suppositions about after-lives just makes me
    ponder silently, out of respect -- I am stuck with the confidence
    that living every day as though it is my last is the way to do it. -- j

    AR's full thought expressed in a TV interview, was based on a paraphrased quote from a philosopher, whose name she couldn't remember at the time, that she'd read at the age of 16 was "I will not die, it's the world that will end." She went on to say that it had stayed with her and affected her throughout her entire life.

    For myself, 'I', am a construct of my mind, my awareness, my focus, and my experience in and of life. And there is no 'I' without my mind and my biological support system for that mind.

    There simply is no possible answer to the question asked, based on reason. There can only be supposition answers based on emotions and fear, and denial of the reality and facts of the experience of life. Scientifically, the body ceases to function and maintain itself, breaks up in various ways into it's component molecules, atoms, and energies--returning to the earth and environment from which it came.
