It's a form of hypochondria, and you also might be an undiagnosed Type-2 diabetic.Why don't skeptics believe in spirits?

That's not how the burden of proof works. Nor is it how skepticism works. Skeptics are not required to disbelieve in every conceivable thing for which there is no evidence and they're certainly not required to demonstrate why.ust because current scientific understanding does not support the existence of spirits does not mean they do not exist; therefore, skeptics must provide evidence for their disbelief.

I experienced NationalCosmopolitan on another forum, but his breed of insanity was something special.Some of those old woos had tremendous staying power. Remember Historian and his Invisible Bigfoot?
I need to oil a new knife, so I'm trying hard to believe in food grade mineral spirits. Off to read Kardec.
Seriously though, Calderaro, if these experiences are genuinely troubling you or interfering with your enjoyment of life or interactions with other people, you may benefit from counseling. No offense intended, just think about it.
No. This is a discussion board, not a "post random ◊◊◊◊ and change the subject and/or run away" board.just use google translate to portuguese

argument refuted with the help of artificial intelligenceThere is no other evidence for science. Feelings and beliefs are not evidence.
Science already does. It does not take random thoughts as subjective experiences, though. It may consider someone who thinks god is talking to them, or spirits live in their stomach, as subjectively reported evidence of schitzophrenia. As an example.argument refuted with the help of artificial intelligence
Science can benefit from a more holistic approach that considers both empirical data and subjective experiences.

Not necessarily. But you can bet your sweet bippy that if you start talking about ghosts living in your belly, a doctor will have schitzophrenia on his diagnostic mind.Who believes in spirits is schizophrenic?

So...placebos work. We already knew this. Not so much against cancer, but they do wonders with hypochondriacs. Modern snake-oil peddlers know the power of ritual. They know certain buzzwords draw suckers to their products, words like "Natural", "Wholistic", "Essential" are always attached to fraudulent supplements because there is a market of people trained ala Pavlov to respond by draining their wallets.According to artificial intelligence believe in something that does not exist like spirits for example can be beneficial to the believer?
Belief in spirits can provide emotional comfort, especially during times of grief or loss. The idea that deceased loved ones are still present in some way can help people cope with the pain of separation and find meaning in their experiences.
Spiritual beliefs are often tied to communities and cultural traditions. Participating in rituals or practices that involve communicating with spirits can strengthen social bonds and create a sense of belonging, which is beneficial for mental health and well-being.
For some people, believing in spirits can be a coping strategy that helps them deal with life’s uncertainties. This belief can provide a framework for understanding unexplained or difficult events, providing a sense of control in chaotic situations.
Belief in spirits can allow individuals to explore aspects of their identity and spirituality. This can include the search for personal meaning and understanding of the world around them, helping with identity formation and self-acceptance.
In many cultures, practices related to communicating with spirits are an integral part of traditions and rituals. These practices can play an important role in preserving culture and passing on values from generation to generation.
Although belief in spirits may be seen as unscientific, it can have significant positive effects on the emotional, social and cultural well-being of individuals. Understanding these benefits is important to recognize the complexity of the human experience and the role that beliefs play in people’s lives.

Same is true with spirits. The main reason I stopped investigating hauntings in private homes is that the people would be disappointed when I found a very non-paranormal explanation to their ghosties. My life-long investigations have left me less impressed by the supernatural than I am by the spectacular nature of the real world, and what people can do if they put their minds in gear. If you want to hide behind Woo that's your human right, but you don't get to change the rules because science won't drink your Kool-Aid.

You forgot "magnetism"The legendary opacity of Quantum Physics was a gift to a field that had never managed to get 'vibrations', 'energy' or 'dimensions' right.
Out of approximately 60 investigations I was able to find rational explanations for all 60 incidents in question. That's a 100% clearance rate for a guy with a limited science background. Of the few personal experiences I'd had, three remain unexplained. But that doesn't mean they will never be explained. And maybe they were actual ghosts, but the rules still apply as to burden of proof, which is the way it should be.What empirical evidence do you have to say that spirits do not exist?

I thought you had given up on spirits. You're simply trolling now.A transgender man is a person who was assigned female at birth, but who identifies and lives as a man.A transgender man is the reincarnation of a male spirit in a female body. Transsexuality is empirical evidence of the existence of spirits.
