Now, 'Love', you were happily taking the piss out of people who
believed in the concept of 'soul', but because you cannot grasp
Popperian or Kantian or HotAyrean metaphysics, which Zook, for example
understands instantly, you are a bit cross! Though it might not stand
up long in psi.physics, I could give a good Kantian defence of the
notion of the not not existence of the soul, starting with Plato!
Sheldrake and Penrose are not thickies, I hope you would agree!

However, as the notion of 'soul' is a silly reduction of a mystery, I
shall not do so. You are only two willing to play games where you feel
you have the upper hand!
