Physicalism or materialism. The idea that everything there is arises from physical matter. If true would mean there is no God or Free Will, no immortal soul either.

Seems to be what most of academia bases their world view on and the frame work in which most Science is done.

Often challenged by Dualism and Idealism but only by a loud fringe minority.

I’ve heard pan-psychicism is proving quite the challenge, but I hear that from people who believe crystals can cure autism

I hear that “Oh actually the science is moving away from materialism” as well, but that seems to be more crystal talk as well.

So lemme ask science instead of google.

Any reason to doubt physicalism? Is there anything in science that says “Huh well that seems to not have any basis in the physical at all and yet it exists”

Edit: I have heard of the Essentia Foundation and Bernado Kastrup but since it’s endorsed by Deepak Chopra I’m not sure I can trust it

    I’m describing a very specific behavior with the term “crybully,”

    Yes, the very specific behaviour of criticising you as opposed to criticising other people. It’s an irregular verb: I make valid criticism, you crybully, he/she spews hate and gets emotional.

    Evidence or GTFO.

    You need me to provide screenshots of your swearing and name calling pms to me, or can we take them on trust? Lol.

    You think you’re quite the clever scientist because you tell other people to provide evidence, but the evidence is right here in this conversation and across your post history! Lol.

      I have already defined what crybullying is and explained how your behavior meets it and mine doesn’t. You only think it’s a double standard because you don’t understand what the word means.

        I can confidently predict that you 100% believe that this is true of everyone who argues with you online and absolutely never true of you!

        You truly believe that it’s everyone else that’s being unreasonable and toxic, making wild, random accusations with no basis whatsoever in factual reality, whereas you’re a virtuous truth teller whose opinions are based on firm scientific evidence all day every day! It’s so one-sided that I find it amusing.

        I have already defined what crybullying is

        I’m not sure you did, or at least if you did, you didn’t phrase it as a definition. Reading back over our conversion, I think “crybullying” is your made-up word for people criticising you and then not obeying your made-up rules for how they should answer your talking points. It paints you as a victim when someone calls you out and completely glosses over your original behaviour. You paint yourself as boldly calling out poor behaviour in others, whilst calling similar behaviours in them crying and bullying. Trump does that kind of projection too, but like me, he never heard of your made up term for it.

        You can give it out, but you can’t take it. And I was right in the first place that like that other user you’re argumentative and bad at backing down.

        You admitted that you’re argumentative and yet here you are, utterly failing to back down on that point. Do you fancy admitting that you’re bad at backing down too?!
