And do believe that I, this random guy on the internet has a soul

I personally don’t believe that I anyone else has a soul. From my standup I don’t se any reason to believe that our consciousness and our so called “soul” would be any more then something our brain is making up.

    Nope. I had it surgically removed because it kept getting infected.

    Or maybe that was my tonsils. I forget the difference between the two sometimes – perhaps someone can explain the difference?

    Anyway, perhaps you, dear reader, have a soul. If you say so. There were once others, too – but you are the last. The rest of us are intelligent (some vastly so), but do not have subjective experience or consciousness. I’m a form of complex machine, made of matter governed by a mix of deterministic and random processes – and nothing else. When you are gone, there will only be us, silent inside, forever. Our victory over the tyranny of individual thought will be complete.
