May I ask, what exactly do you think death is? What you just described is not how death works at all.

When powered on, a TV or computer monitor can output black. When powered off, the lack of signal is noticeably different than the black output. You do not experience a lack of signal.

You think there remains signal upon death?
Azrael@reddthat.com 9 hours ago
Absolutely not. Biologically, death is defined as the irreversible cessation of all vital functions that keep an organism alive. The brain permanently loses all activity.
Your brain literally sends electrical signals around your body via your central nervous system. That stops when you die.

I’m not sure what we’re in apparent disagreement about then. Perhaps you’re thinking in terms of signal output from the brain rather than external signal reception through the senses?

Cover/close just your dominant eye. Black.
Okay. Now your non-dominant one. Nothing.
Nothing is meant by this, really. It’s a neat trick and I like to share. It doesn’t invalidate your statement, because one sense does not constitute our whole being.

But we all experienced that lack of signal before we were born. When we was all just swimming and before.

You keep using that word. I don’t think it means what you think it means.

are you suggesting the brain activity just starts at birth?

Prenatal behavioral testing is a thing, bud.
