and the precise way scientists go about attacking supernaturalism seems to suggest intentional sophistry, because they cannot possibly be stupid enough to believe their own reasoning in these arguments is sound, even if they're emotionally certain their conclusions are.

the reason i suspect the scientific method would be insufficient for approaching spiritual questions, even supposing we gain some kind of "psychic toolkit" for interrogating spiritual reality, comes down to the issue of qualia. in short, we who are conscious experience an objective fact -- the basic fact of our own consciousness -- which we can neither prove to others, nor can be proved to us using the scientific method, *despite the fact that we are capable of knowing this (and, arguably, nothing else) objectively.* and consider the magnitude of this: even memories can, in principle, be falsified, but the entire concept of "illusory" or "falsified" conscious experience is a contradiction in terms. you can't be fooled into believing you don't have a soul (except by semantic trickery that plays games with the definition of "soul"), even if you can be fooled into believing you were in fact born yesterday. and yet, this proposition -- "i have (am) a soul" -- is unfalsifiable by the axioms of the scientific method.

when daniel dennett died and went to heaven, he spent the rest of eternity trying to scientifically disprove the afterlife and his own immortal soul. whether this was an ironic punishment for his hubris or his own idea of paradise, even God never figured out. perhaps, in the end, it was both

the way normies behave and judging from the pop culture that's intended for their consumption, it really seems like they just. do not communicate, with their partners. like if there's some kind of problem with the relationship they just lash out and create unrelated drama and wind up provoking more and more extreme reactions from each other, rather than just, talking about the problem and trying to solve it together

so many relationship drama plots in normie media seem to rely on this implicit assumption that partners will always try to manipulate and deceive each other rather than being straightforward and working as a team. like relationships are meant to be combative and antagonistic. and of course then you have Boomer Hyoomer which seems to consist entirely of a sublimated urge to commit domestic violenceBITCH JUST FUCKING TALK TO HIM WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU
