Oh I know. I was just trying to challenge the statement "Death is for people who don't understand technology." by pointing out a different view.

Duality is one of the triumphs of western thought. It has allowed us to escape superstition and is the basis of science and engineering. It keeps the bridges from falling down, but it is not a perfect description of reality and it falls apart if expected to be.

What I'm saying is that so far as it is meaningful to specify things* are "you" and parts of "you", these things do not end or disappear with real, physical, heart-stopping, rotting in ground death. The things which are lost with physical death are in constant flux, so they are constantly being lost anyway.

* No need for a soul or some sort of material ectoplasm. You are in constant subtle contact with everything.
