I'm so fucking SICK and TIRED of physicalism. They're so smug, they absolutely insist that they're right. Non-physicalists are laughed at in modern academia. I read once that it's more palatable to the average academic to argue for the existence of God than it is to argue for substance dualism. These bastards would rather hear you say God exists before you start saying souls exist! They'll treat you like you just said you're a Scientologist or a Mormon if you argue for souls, even if you permit that they don't affect the physical world in any way.

Start either practicing viveka or contemplation of impermanence or contemplation of emptiness to get a grip on that anger issue. Good luck.

The most primitive elements of reality are immaterial things like spirits, souls, ideas, and appearances. Nothing material is ultimately real. The material world is a construct of appearances, a Simulacrum. Physics only gives the rules of the Simulacrum. It's a poor model for metaphysics.

It's kind of interesting that during the Cold War the Americans created a materialist metaphysics of Astral Projection, Remote Viewing, etc.

Souls don't exist though.
Or rather there's only one soul, peering through every pair of eyes.

Must really suck to have to come to a bunch of Monists to complain that no one takes substance dualism seriously.

Idealism is ALSO smugly telling OP they are wrong for advocating for substance dualism.

I just feel bad for them, but dualism is also not correct. Ignorance is not something to be envied.

Physicalism proves itself to be incorrect wrong, which is quite ironic. Physicalism that matter is everything and everything is made of matter. But matter is made of smaller matter, and that smaller matter is made of smaller matter, and so on. There is no end, just measurement limitations. That's why the best explanation for quantum mechanics is randomness, in actually there are smaller immeasurable particles that are determining the behavior of quantum particles.

So if everything in the universe is made of smaller parts, then there's an infinite chain of matter making up other matter. So matter technically does not exist, there is no foundational unit to it. The only thing that truly exists is consciousness, which brings matter into existence. Consciousness is the fundamental unit, disproving physicalism.
