It seems to me that consciousness and memory are two separate things, and if we get amnesia we are simply not conscious of a particular set of memories. Our memories are mostly always retained during unconsciousness and one does not affect the other. Our memories don't have to be real ones either, they can be planted or self-fabricated. Time doesn't ever disappear, it is independent of consciousness or memory. When we die, I think we lose both. I think we are dead. There is so far no real evidence anywhere, logical or scientific, to indicate otherwise. Any belief to the contrary has to be based on faith, and I have none. Maybe Josep actually has faith in his 'argument', I don't know, but I remain unconvinced. I take it as he now recommends, with a (huge) grain of salt. I would dearly like to see how it was received in an actual scientific or philosophical debate. I don't particularly consider myself highly educated but I think I can recognise shite when I see it. It would seem both the Faithful and the sceptic can rest easy in their beds.

My 'umble verdict.
