Could we not at least discuss such things in a questioning way instead of turning everything into a self-righteous tantrum? I don't know how much longer I'll be coming to PQ. It doesn't feel good these days.
Physicalist foot-stomping, haranguing and proselytizing are endemic in our society, where the great majority of the educated elite are atheist materialists. Accordingly, the periodic challenging of this brainwashing is very well justified on the part of the small minority who believe or at least strongly suspect physicalism is false and spirit is real. Methinks I (or maybe Max Planck) must have stepped on a sensitive materialist toe.
