While you take a forward step in admitting being out of depth why do you name drop concepts like Godels incompleteness theorems with zero argument for relevance?
I felt it was relevant. We haven't succeeded in building AI equivalent to human intelligence because mathematical computations really can't be applied to human intelligence. If a near death experience is the result of human intelligence then nothing could be inferred from that to indicate that death is the end.
