They are norms or rules not propositions, so what do you propose any such "true moral claims" would even be like? :chin:

Again, how does non-physical A affect physical B and yet remain discernibly non-physical?

Dr. Kaku is heavily invested in M-string theory, so much so that he, IMO, exaggerates the salience of its untested experimental predictions. Worse he ...

I wonder what you make of this contrarian view from an old thread: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/573153

Usually, in the broadest terms, I'm a philosophical naturalist (i.e. property dualist, irrealist, actualist & disutilitarian).

... or Newton's laws of motion. You claim there have been many experiments that falsify these "laws", so cite one. :chin:

"Inmaterialism" is immaterial and, as Advaita Vedanta teaches, "dualism" is maya. Why do we keep on flogging this perennial hobby horse?
