when did we collectively, as a society, agree that souls actually exist?? didn’t philosophers and scientists spend like a cumulative 1000 years arguing over this & doing dumbass experiments like weighing people before and after they died, only to come to the conclusion that - if souls do exist - they are ephemeral and cannot be observed??!?! save me Kant save me
Qualia/consciousness is still weird and very hard to pin down in a laboratory environment while at the same time being the one immediate thing we as living beings are personally aware of, whatever it means.
Souls are woo and bad people throughout history have assigned or disavowed them depending on who they want to uplift, or kill.
31% of the world’s population are Christian, 25% are Muslim, 15% are Hindu, that right there is 71% of the world’s population that believe not only in souls, but in immortal souls that continue after death. Plus all the other religions that have souls, or people who aren’t particularly religious or spiritual but believe in souls. We as a society have collectively always accepted the existence of souls, and soulless atheist heathens (no value judgment) have always been a minority.
