The Substance Dualism Has Been Proven - Check this out

But wait! What if science can deliver decision for this topic?

I mean:
Medieval times are there, uninformed in terms of modern age.

But modern times have given us a number of achievements:
Thermal imaging
Infrared imaging
Low-light image intensification
and to this topic: Ghost imaging by use of advanced radiology

And if ghosts exist as minds without bodies then certainly, substance dualism is proven as well.

So to "ghost-denialists": if you speak to a person who denies the existence of bacteria, then that is outrageous in these times, not so in medieval times.
Similarly too with ghosts! Answer: Time to update on the science!

Here we have a world where the best books can be printed by quantum data generation at the click of a button (artificial intelligence).
And the existence of God is given by radio-astronomy and advanced radiology, results given on pc-tablets.
So too, the ghost imaging!

Anything unclear?

The World is fantastic! Start believing, folks!

Some references and a cue.

The Ghost-Imagers and other facts are not widespread yet, but they are coming. As always, truth comes first to the Inventor, the Scientist who makes the discovery! :grin: :joke:

only substance we have any evidence for is consciousness

how can you get evidence without consciousness?

and when you do get evidence, thats consciousness!

one substance

I recommend you read Donald Davidson's paper for Monism. It's quite a thrill but demanding.

Others who want to join discussion? All the best.

This is an interesting statement since a couple of months ago, Neuroscience as a field has officially rejected this worldview, to quote the title of the paper "Giving Up on Consciousness as the Ghost in the Machine".
Emergence and Complexity Science has provided eye opening insights on how a functioning brain is Necessary and Sufficient on explaining, describing, predicting the emergence of states of mind and their content.
