Over the Hedge by T Lewis and Michael Fry for November 22, 2019

RJ, the walking twinkie.

Poor tree never did get to sleep. Hope he got a Twinkie out of this ;-)

You are what you eat. I guess that means that my conciousness is like a box of chocolates.

[Trigger warning: Serious thoughts]

Calling energy “information” is the latest version of one of mankind’s oldest philosophic errors — the failure to properly distinguish knowledge of reality and reality. Plato made that error when he created an entirely separate reality to contain human concepts. Kant did it when he said we can only know the phenomenological world, not the noumenal world. Many religions do it when they hold that reality exists only in the mind of God (whatever that may be). Quantum physics does it when they say that we can never know certain facts of reality, only probabilities. And Scientific American did it when they published an article saying that the way to extract the maximum “information” from a 20-megaton nuclear warhead is to detonate it.

I’d explain the correct answer, but nobody’s paying me to do that. Hint: Aristotle was a lot closer to right than Plato.

way too early in the morning for all that

" … will my consciousness survive death?"

More importantly, will you be conscious of it if it does?

“info can’t be destroyed”? Tell that to the books in the Library of Alexandria… Though I guess if somebody read them before they were burned and passed the info on, that might delay its destruction…

Death makes life simpler on so many levels.

Let’s see if we can get to the root of your problems.

Death ends your problems. And death isn’t sleep or rest just a complete shutdown of all systems.
