> If there's no Soul or Self, there's nobody to introspect to begin with
That's some fine example of intellectual peasantry.

This "self" or "soul" might as well have many levels, with those lower being observed from the higher ones, and the whole divergence coming from talking about different entities. This "soul" might as well not be "self", but a collective eye, shared by many "selves". Finally this "soul" might be something fluid and not clear-cut, like a wave in the ocean, and thus not being easily segregated from "non-soul" and put in its own category, as a distinct entity (where tf are the boundaries of the wave? isn't the notion of wave just a trick of mind that is used to operate on solid objects?). And that's only assuming Buddhism denies people having any soul (does it? never heard of it). And that's only sticking to linguistic forms and logic which might as well be just an emergent product of physical brains in this physical world and not apply to the metaphysical. And that's all just what my mind could come up with in the last 5 minutes.

>bro, Judge Holden is the *scariest* character in literature. Like, what even is he? A demon?!
