Matthew, since you mentioned “the elephant in the room” in the standard metaphorical use of that phrase, that leads me to ask whether you think elephants among other sentient beings also have consciousness that can survive their physical lifetimes and can “ exist without a physical brain.” And if reincarnation occurs, is it only among us humans or is it among conscious beings of various species? In the latter case, how far down the evolutionary tree do you think it goes?
