A friend and I are arguing over ghosts.

I think it’s akin to astrology, homeopathy and palm reading. He says there’s “convincing “ evidence for its existence. He also took up company time to make a meme to illustrate our relative positions. (See image)

(To be fair, I’m also on the clock right now)

What do you think?

    The more you know the less stuff you’re comfortable ruling out.

    There’s nothing that disproves ghosts, but there’s nothing that proves them either.

    You could have said “souls” instead, because that’s just another word for consciousness. But it doesn’t work for ghosts

      There’s nothing to disprove ghosts because there’s no real definition of what a ghost is.

      If someone gives me a real unambiguous agreed upon definition of what a ghost is, I’ll explain why we know they don’t exist.
