No, that's a great observation. Death is a biological model state. As an Open University Chemistry professor once said, the molecules making up Julius Caesar are still around in the environment, even if the eponymous entity isn't.

Umm... Black Magic? No. It's a model. As a famous British statistician (whose name escapes me) says, "All models are wrong. But some are useful." Why? Models are either descriptive or predictive, but even the best ones cannot exclude uncertainty, as our understanding of reality is delimited by the quality of our tools and our ability to use them. The physical sciences are dependent on tools that are themselves products of what we already know. But if what we know already exists, so must what we don't know also exist. It's just that we don't know it does. So, models without uncertainty are not absolutely real. That is the nature of knowledge. Everything is "to the best of our knowledge" including reality, and uncertainty is ever present.

With the greatest of respect, nothing last forever, and the folly of nostalgia is that one cannot look forward, when one's always facing backwards. Indeed, we should be grateful for the past. But we should not fail to appreciate what we have in the present, and live there with gratitude, because it's all we every really have or need. I lived through the passing of Camp Comedy, and nostalgia obscures why that humour was so powerful. It was powerful because it was traversing boundaries with wit and intelligence born out of dealing with a harsh world in a life affirming way. And it catered to the prejudices of its audience, who more naive and less well-informed and accepting than they are now. Take the best of it, and leave rest in the past where it belongs. Failure to do that is now why in every age those who wallow in nostalgia are missing the point. What is useful in any age will survive as long as it is a positive. And debating what is of value in the present in an honest and empathetic way is healthy. And we should embrace change if it is a positive for those who will follow us. We are only caretakers, not owners. And we should be discerning about what we keep as well as what we let go of. And to make that decision one needs empathy. And remember that only the truly strong can be gentle. Have a good day.

Neither. You are what you are, and that might differ significantly from what you think you are.

Not really. How can the Geiger Counter interact with reality unless it observed? How can it it collaborate in the process of discerning Reality. The Geiger counter is not an observer as it is not part of the collaborative meaning making creation process that is reality. Only humans do that.
