Ironically Tony Blair cynically created the conditions that led to Brexit.

The body is the actuality and the soul is the potentiality - Brazil
What is a soul exactly, and how do you know?
This only took 4 pages to devolve into the standard “whats reality?” - Morpheus
Indeed! It's a way of looking profound while avoiding all burden of proof. I cannot count how many threads have been ruined by the same tedious sophistry.
Nobody can PROVE that we are not brains in a vat. So f***ing what?

Materialists seem to come down on the side of the chair being real regardless of what the person feels. I’m not sure that makes a lot of sense.
Rational people seem to come down on the side of the chair being real. I'm certain that makes a lot of sense.

How can your analogy work? Everybody has a different consciousness. I have no idea what others are experiencing or thinking or dreaming.
Animals also have a consciousness to a lesser degree.
It's nothing like billions of creatures all tuning in to the same 'radio station'.

and then say this important subject hinges on the experiments of a magician - xant
No I said no such thing.
Susan Blackmore is a serious scientist who spent decades trying to find scientific support for out-of-body and 'near-death' type phenomena. James Randi used his knowledge of how tricks are performed by top illusionists to debunk pseudoscience. His million dollar prize has been remained unclaimed.
The onus is on those who makes positive assertions about life-after-death etc to provide objective evidence and on scientists to investigate those claims.

If you start demanding proof I quote Cofty when he talks about evolution and says stop being lazy, read some book - xant
That is disingenuous. There is no comparison. Biology textbooks and academic papers lay out a mass of objective evidence checked and reproduced by multiple groups of independent scientists. Evolution is a fact. Scientists invite scrutiny and challenges to their conclusions.
Is there even one peer-reviewed paper presenting positive evidence for incorporeal consciousness?
Also I don't just tell people to go and read books, I have made hundreds of posts setting out the evidence to explain it.
Susan Blackmore dedicated the first couple of decades of her life to try to bring science to the subject, convinced as she was that there was something to be discovered. She eventually gave up with the conclusion that every single example was deception, lies or delusion.
Books about life-after-death are a multi-million dollar business for obvious reasons. Their authors refuse objective scrutiny. James Randi's prize remains unclaimed. Subjective experiences are not proof of anything,

Say it ain’t so
Disease or injury to specific areas of the brain can specifically impair every sort of function, comprehension, feeling and emotion known to humans. Stimulation of precise loci can simulate love, religiosity, empathy and 'out-of-body' sensations.
It's all chemistry. There is no 'ghost in the machine'.

Do you mean to say we 'die' each time we are unconscious? - alechol..
Obviously not.
Anaesthetic disrupts activity of the brain by producing changes in the brainstem and cerebral cortex. As a result we lose consciousness and have absolutely no memory - occasional mistakes by anaesthesiologists notwithstanding - of the time we were 'under'.
If reversible and temporary chemical changes to the brain destroys all consciousness how can consciousness possibly survive the complete destruction of our brains?
We are our brains.

Our consciousness doesn't survive anaesthetic so how can it survive the complete destruction the brain?
