You misunderstand my proposal. My proposal is that you associate death
with functional death only, and that you associate Consciousness with
nothing at all.

If you can't imagine this project, try stretching your mind a bit. Say
the word consciousness over and over again until the word seems
meaningless. I'm sure you can at least imagine it. If you must, employ
some empathy and imagine what I'M doing.
