JM::
and why do you think that those material 'facts' are not your
hallucinations?
I dismiss - not the 'validity', of 'a' philosophical point', but to deal
with the topic - because I prefer to stay 'sane' (what I pretend to be a
'fact' in my own terms).
My point was that nobody remembers (knows about) teleportationally previous
state(s) so why should we speculate about the 'coming' ones? I asked "what
is your (or anybody else's) reason to believe that THIS WORLD we see now and
here is indeed the FIRST existence we are in?
(where did we die to come here? )
