Right now we imagine there can be a material like substance. It maybe very well be that it's possible, it may not be possible. Perhaps only spiritual existence is possible to constitute reality.
But we chose to believe in a material world, because it helps you function better or that our instinct is that there is one. But we don't have a rational reason to believe it's even possible let alone that material world exists. At least most of us don't.
When we assume something is of worth or we measure humans in different degrees, we assume there is some measurement constituting their worth. But how that is even possible, we don't know.
Free-will is assumed in all this. That there is a will that has some sort of control and is praised. But we haven't proved free-will exists.
Do you even understand what you are blabbering about. Reason, rationality and concepts like measurement proceed from the assumption of an objective material world. Belief in a 'spiritual' reality is self-defeating because contradicts the very basis of rationality itself.
