I don't accept external empirical evidence that awareness ends upon death, nor do I accept external empirical evidence that awareness continues after death.
I simply do not know.
For this reason, on some days I tilt toward the 'awareness continues' camp, as per my post in this thread:
"
Don't cry.
If like myself, you don't remember being dead, you will never will be.
Eternity, you're already in it.
And frankly, I'm tired of it.
Death, I could only wish for."
On other days, I tilt toward the 'awareness seizes' camp.
But I never subscribe to either camp (unless momentarily for devil's advocate purposes).
Mine is not an argument from ignorance, but rather an acute awareness of the limits of knowledge: most commonly overlooked, or consciously ignored by many.
Those who fail to fully acknowledge that they
do not know are thinking illogically.
He who acts in accordance to 'knowing' (e.g., cares about post-death rep): acts based on faith.
