Scientists just don't care that the words no longer describe our folk intuitions about "physical" and "matter", but the rest of you apparently didn't get the memo. Wink

Science progresses while philosophy stagnates.

Fun fact: you can replace in Steve001's above message "PQ" for "Science" and "Steve001" for "philosophy". Who knew?!

Ah, but by "stuff which is decidedly non-physical and non-matter" do you mean "'stuff' which is mental or conscious in some sense"? Because that's the only sense of "non-physical and non-matter" that is relevant to the sort of discussions that happen on this forum in this context.

I've just given Laird more likes that I've ever given anybody. I don't know what he was smoking last night, but I could do with some, Ian ! Sharp as a razor.
