> just re-hashing the unfalsifiable concept of a "soul" Yes. It comes from religiously inclined or deeply religious philosophers and “philosophers”. Once they fix they “belief” they search for any possible way to fit the reality, which otherwise wouldn’t support their belief, with their already pre-decided goal. Even worse, the last time I’ve checked, nautil.us was financed by the people with such goals: https://www.templeton.org https://www.templeton.org "The Foundation takes its vision from its founding benefactor, the late Sir John Templeton, who sought to stimulate what he described as “spiritual progress.”" And, as a more obvious parallel, if you ever wondered who produces "Ancient Aliens" on History Channel, it's also non-accidentally the guy who wants more "spirituality", in his words: "It’s really a show about looking for God. Science would have you believe we are the result of nothing more than a chance assemblage of matter" whereas "Ancient Aliens" "offers seekers an origin story." https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/21/style/ancient-aliens.html https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/21/style/ancient-aliens.html Yes, both behind the "conscious matter" and behind https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/158327-ancient-aliens https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/158327-ancient-aliens is a "spirituality" drive.
