Come back here, you! I got a needle with your name on it.

Why don't you help Jim work on what a boy is, before contemplating more challenging questions?

What a boy is, is arbitrary CP, they come in all different shapes and sizes and more specifically they come in different ages which is why you never answered the question that you accuse me of not answering.

At this point, the sheer tenacity is actually kind of impressive.

Ooh, dang - there';s a short book that I think would help you get this.

and I can't remember the title!

The premise is a two dimensional being learns that three dimensions exist by interacting with a three dimensional being - of course, the poor guy ends up in an insane asylum. Can someone else remember the title?

So what are you trying to say, that our spirits/souls are connected to our bodies, but that the two exist in different dimensions?

not really. It just shows how clueless he is that he thinks he is actually fooling anyone. It's like when you catch your kid covered in chocolate and you ask him if he had gotten into the candy jar and he says "No! I would never do that!"
"but you are covered in chocolate and there are chocolate hand prints on the empty jar"
"it was the dog! He ate it and I was trying to clean it up and..."
"but the dog doesn't have any chocolate on him but you do"
"He licked it all off!"
and so on.

That's exactly what it's like, but I'm trying to be all positive and stuff.

What is a boy? Work on that one for a while, then graduate to souls and spirits.

It's as close as a materialist is likely to get. It's a fair enough analogy, yes.

That's a big 10-4.

So your body is located in this 3 dimensional world but your spirit isn't. Now c'mon Tea, you know that doesn't make sense whether one is a materialist or an immaterialist. If the spirit is with the body, then whether immaterial or not, it would need be located in the same dimensional world as the body. If your argument is that the spirit is none local, then you can't argue that it is with the body which is local.

Life isn't a thing in and of itself CP.

Never said it was. But it's in the body, Jim? Where in the body?
