A skull, with sharp pointy teeth, chewing on a baby

That’s the first counterargument on my mind too.

It’s absurd that they send their top executives on away missions. He’s a desk officer. He should never hold a gun.

Me too. It’s called drafts. First draft, second draft, etc. It’s only natural that you will find bugs, think of better ways to say stuff, realize stuff. It’s organic and proper.

And he’s the moderator of “atheism”. Where’s the interest in the subject?

You’re a moderator of “atheism” but you don’t want to discuss it? Come on.

What did I fail to address? The “no the whole concept is just an excuse etc…” or “do you mean mind etc…?”?. Because neither fits the bill.

Come on, gimme something solid.

Also, are you into meditation?

What do you mean by soul?

What’s your argument? What’s your experience? I mean, we can investigate this stuff and meditation is pretty amazing.

So seriously. Gimme something substantial.

Would you like to discuss it?

“Attention” is a closer match.

Mind (or “intellect” if you like) is a play of attention upon thoughts.

Soul would be a kind of attention-body.

What do you mean by soul?

You probably don’t mean what I mean. I mean, there’s some overlap, but not precisely. It’s vague.

Surely some discussion is called for before condemning the whole concept.

All that is required is a shared experience, to talk about it. We do it all the time. This is such a case

We just don’t have a word for it, or something.

I’d call those terms synonymous with vibe.

A pattern of notes is a song. A pattern of words is a poem. A pattern of vibes/moods/timbres is a … what?

I think that the tune and lyrics point out the vibe, like a pointing finger. Like a memory address. I think that the vibe exists independently.

Maybe conservation of energy is wrong.

That’s a fair argument.

I’m mostly experienced with scifi tho

I’ve been using browsers for a couple of decades without digital fingerprinting and it’s nice enough for me. I see no need to make it nicer.

Fiction. Written. Scifi almost exclusively.

When I can’t get the good stuff I use the bad stuff. But I’m always using.
