What philosophical frame is used in this Wolfenstein: The New Order Tekla Monologue?
-B Jesus Christ Tekla, aren't you asleep?
-T I try not to sleep. No telling if I will ever wake up.
-T Let me ask you something.
-T Where do you go when you loose conciousness?
-B What?
-T You have a brain, a brain is a biological computational device running on electrochemical process.
-T Your conciousness is an emergent property of said process.
-T In other words: you are electrochemical process
-T Fundamentally you have experience of continuous existence.
-T You are you, at this point in time. You have sensation of riding along this continuum of being you, into the future.
-T On occasion brain can be subjected to trauma, temporarily discontinuing electrochemical process.
-T Such as a boxer being knocked out.
-T As this occurs the brain is no longer running. It's electrochemical generating process.
-T Hence conciousness is lost.
-T You loose conciousness. Pay attention now.
-T At this point in time, your consciousness, all that is you...
-T your continuum of being you has caused to exist in the physical world,
-T Now, moments later, the electrochemical process may start up again...
-T ... allowing consciousness to emerge out of the information stored in the brain.
-T But I wonder. Where are you in the meantime?
-T Must we not assume that at the point when consciousness is lost, the person dies?
-T If a new consciousness appears or not in the same brain is entirely inconsequential to the dead consciousness.
-T The new consciousness is simply a new person.
-T Because it emerges from the same brain it has access to all the memories and cognitive structures...
-T ... as the dead consciousness, so it thinks it is the same person
-T But in actuality it is just an impostor.
-T Inheriting the body and brain from the previous, now dead, inhabitant.
-T Yes?
-B What about the soul?
-T Soul...
-T There is no such thing as a soul.
-T We are machines of biology.
-T Nothing more, nothing less.
-T The soul is simply a pointless concept dreamt up by priests and fairy tale men.
