Respectability? You must mean what a majority or a self appointed peer group
like in Oslo decide what is acceptable. By the way, how's those 100 degree
Fahrenheit summers you have been having for the last 17 years? All the rock in
scientists have proclaimed the happy hockey stick-for example.

Ah there you are! And you are not the only one from this list commenting there,
it's a small world.
My bet on computational after-lives is that we are in one already (an infinity
of times), but this is completely transparent to us.
This kind of thing is interesting to me. I tend toward the
materialist stuff since it seems to have potential. The mentalist stuff seems
unreliable because people who have NDE's or trances have not come back with
information.
I would say that the important distinction is between communicable and
non-communicable stuff. Science is about communicable stuff, but there is
personal value in exploring the internal world -- although it won't get you a
nobel prize or even any sort of recognition.
This is because there is no Nobel Prize in Mathematics (not mentioning
Theology).
But you can have the Nobel prize of literature, and some text does indeed
quasi-succeed, perhaps, in communication a bit of the uncommunicable. Then you
can communicate a part conditionally, like if I am consistent then I can't
justify that I am consistent, and the inetnsional variants.

You can get a Templeton, which is for merging science and religion and
is worth more than a Nobel.
Do you mean it's worth more in monetary terms, or in terms of kudos,
respectability, etc?
