By monist I mean that there is only on(e) stuff. By dualist I mean that there is spiritual substances and material substances. That there is 2 types of stuff. Which camp are you in? and why?
By your definition I must be a Monist because I fail to understand how it would be possible to separate spiritual substances from material substances. Is there a contradiction? I assume substances are stuff and are therefore measurable (according to practical scientists?).
If you are thinking of spiritual stuff as nonmaterial then I am still of the opinion that material and nonmaterial stuff cannot be separated: rather that human minds still find it difficult to imagine (conceive) of the entire universe as being the stuff of one Big Bang that has, from the beginning of everything, continued to expand, mutate, grow and evolve from whatever stuff was packed into the amazing firecracker we call the Big Bang.
You probably know that scientists are pretty excited at being able to identify and even measure ”black matter’, the stuff they think fills all the ”empty’ space between galaxies, etc.
I wonder if ”black matter’ might fill the tiny space between a neutron and positrons within the ”solar system’ of an atom. Can anyone tell me, please?
