How many intellectual discussions end - without much to avail

(As described by a close friend)

I was explaining to a few friends of mine that this morbid fascination with death and the afterlife is unnecessary but oh how we love to dwell on it. Sadly, it’s so unnecessary because consciousness arises from brain activity and ends with brain death. Once our brain neurons finally die, our entire perspective about life or the afterlife quickly disappear, leaving nothingness, blackness… just like before birth we had zero recollection about our existence. In fact our brains are joke at birth, and it takes years to fully develop. 18 years on average!!! 

So this nonsense about heaven, hell and the prospect of life after death fades away with the last neuron flickering towards its end.

Meanwhile one of my friends, Mashooq Hussein, 61, who I thought was intently listening while puffing on a cigarette, pensively said “did you know there are two only types of jinns in this dunya, *regular jinns and londay baaz jinns* and so the conversation quickly ended and I looked at him, raised my right hand and gave him a solid lanath and said “thooo bhenrda” and we all laughed and sipped on tea and lit a cigarette. 

That was the end of that intellectual conversation.
