I don't believe everything I read. but ive had my suspicions on FMRI for a while as electrical activity doesn't actually tell us anything other than it exists is that activity like digital bits and move data between areas or just stimuli to the muscles to contract.


Think of what you will on this

Adolf Eichmans trial

Visible to anyone in the world

Eichmans whole defence was based on his denial of responsibility and he was only doing as he was told. I find it hard to understand this as he was instructing others to carry out his instruction. He wasn't driving the trains or gazing and shooting the prisoners or making any policy.

I do find it interesting how this bureaucrats who where responsible directly at the camps Also used this  defence at nuremburg and more recently Oskar Groening the book keeper at Auchswitz. 

The whole Authouritairism thing a complete area on its own as there is a definite case of further investigation needed into why socially superior society accepts these individuals as authority.

does the soul die with the body

Visible to anyone in the world

Interesting programme tonight on history at 8pm

Discussing whether the soul or personality dies with the body and started with the case of a woman who had to be technically dead for 30 mins to perform an operation and when she was brought back to life her personality was intact.

Which poses to me the question 

When does the soul cease to exist after the  body has technically died. as clearly it seems it is not instantaneous.
