Comment on Maybe ghosts are real, but since they're incorporeal they're unaffected by gravity and get left behind in the void of space

  Inb4 they have miniscule but non zero mass, and they’re the actual dark matter

  Unless ghosts come from sentience

    All the things they listed are sentient.

    Maybe you mean they come from sapience?

      There’s a point where you have to question whether sentience is present vs the ability to react to the world… Mostly in flies (which have some of the lowest neuron count of any animal) they just fly towards smell and light etc. - they don’t get angry or upset or noticibly happy and that’s not too far beyond a light switch reacting to you pressing it.

      Maybe the word I should have used was “cognizance”?

      If ghosts were real and we only saw human ghosts, I would have to assume either ghosts are species specific; meaning you can only see ghosts of beings that were the same animal as you. OR the soul is an evolutionary step and humans are the only species that made it far enough to have ghosts

        If I was in a world where ghosts were real I would have to assume other “spiritual” aspects from different cultures are real too. So maybe you can only be a ghost of you’re spiritually adept enough 🤷‍♂️
