Consciousness isn't a tangible thing. It's just a label we use for a type of brain behavior. Once there's no brain, there's no more behavior. Just like once your heart dies, there's no more heartbeat.

I dunno we still see things like Terminal Lucidity and NDEs all the time.

One of those is pre-death and the other is near-death. I don't see how either suggests that there's some ghost-brain that functions after death.

Saying "Oh that's just near death. Never mind that we are seeing active consciousness where none should exist."

Isn't that just moving the goal post at the end of the day?
