    I find this to be wildly flawed, as the soul question defines that one choice requires “soul death” but in no way implies what that means. Without understanding the variable of what this post-soul death defreezing looks like, there is no valid position to take.

      I agree, but this is a fun thought exercise, not a scientific questionnaire. If you are convinced that your soul is you or your brain is you then you’ll answer differently. I picked soul death freeze, which was the only answer I deviated from the norm.

      We have to make decisions based on incomplete, flawed, or outright misinformation regularly. But yeah I just enjoyed it as a bit of fun.

        If you can freeze, kill your soul, and then still wake up again, we have instantly invalidated the working definition of soul they are trying to use. If they want to redefine the understanding of “soul” that’s fine, or if they want to bring the entire concept into question that is also fine, but by explicitly stating the material nature of one while contradicting the function of a soul as understood invalidates the question.
