What are we like?


Suppose you were the only human to survive an apocalypse and you knew you were the only survivor.
There would be no purpose.
Language would only serve to torment you.
Everything would be pointless.
There would be no future.
If you did not kill yourself, how would you spend your time?
What would you be like?

Suppose you were brought up by wolves and never saw another human being.
Would you be like a wolf?
What would you be like?

Suppose your entire brain-function was transferred to a super-computer.
What would you be like?

Suppose you were struck deaf, blind and dumb and were unable to move.
What would you be like?

Suppose you knew you were going to die in the next five minutes.
What would you be like for those five minutes?

Suppose you were dead.
What would you be like?
