Re: dhw--Epistemological Framework (Humans)

What explanation do we have that consciousness exists outside of the human brain? The evidence is clearly less firm; we only have what amounts to anecdotal evidence. We have patients that describe OoBEs, but clearly there is no way to take this tacit knowledge and verify it with some external source. Therefore, while knowledge, it is not something we can know. And as such, can never be knowledge.
