>>2248364It's a fair assessment, if you subscribe to the Soul + Mind theory. Unfortunately, considering we're approaching it from different viewpoints and theories of "Self", there's going to be that fundamental difference of opinion, and any attempts to resolve the differences of opinion are going to result in spinning our wheels, due to those fundamental differences of theory.
Until the question of how to define a soul is answered, it's not something we can accurately use as a descriptor, or even as a component of our equations of self. "Soul" could be anything from that spark of sentience that makes us self-aware, down to some aspect of the body that science just hasn't been able to discover yet. We simply lack the evidence necessary to properly identify precisely what a soul is, if it exists as anything outside of a mental construct.
The way I see it, we're going to keep spinning out wheels, trying to resolve this dispute, each defending their mutual theory, when the fact remains, it's like comparing apples and oranges. Personally, I'm content to just move on from the matter, and just post some more Rei.
