The nature of persons: dualism vs. physicalism

YT: "Professor Kagan discusses the two main positions with regard to the question, "What is a person?" On the one hand, there is the dualist view, according to which a person is a body and a soul. On the other hand, the physicalist view argues that a person is just a body. The body, however, has a certain set of abilities and is capable of a large range of activities."

a conclusion a came to Manny years ago was that if time is infinite , then there are an infinite amount of times for the molecular arrangement that gives us consciousness to reoccur.

after death in this life we will repeatedly become conchoise to some exstent in different configurations. due to lack of perception of time when ded u will litraly repeatedly wake up, however im not so sure its likly to be as a fleshy creature could be as annything, whatever arengment of attoms and electrcity alow for you to be aware, allso u will probably reconfigure many times with no previous memory.

lol who knows if we already existed an infinite amount of times before but just don't remember, iv been geting alot of Daja voue recently mabyt its something to do with that , i personally think its more likely im just getting old .

I cba to wach this ITS SO SLOW and its as if he is talking to idoits.
