    Of course souls aren’t real. What’s so strange about it? Zillions of bacteria are at this very moment also being brought into being as part of the great “matter computation” driven by the Sun. Also worms, botflies, politicians, you name it.

      we have this very nice expression in german called “der Geist in der Materie” which roughly translates to “the spirit in the matter” which expresses the concept that even though some object is material, there is still a kind of spirit inside of it. It’s like the matter itself is alive and conscious. We can see this in animals. It’s a very interesting concept.
