author's forum for Metaphysics by Default

Members at SciForums broached the essay in a forum thread, Scientific Conjecture About an Atheistic Conception of the Afterlife. I participated under my own name, as member 'wstewart', January 2013 - February 2013.

A SciForums sample:

• A poster introduces Tom Clark's concept of generic subjective continuity: 1
• I join the thread and summarize propositions from the similar concept, existential passage: 1
• A poster proposes a same-structure criterion. Enforcement leads to intellectual chaos: 1 2 3 4 5 6
• "So much for all that. All that... 'metaphysics'": 1
  

As backup, I attach a self-contained archival copy of the SciForums thread: archive, Feb. 2013 (.zip).

Thank you.
