'It's not reasonable for you to quote someone I've never heard of and then expect me to go chasing after everything he's ever read before having an opinion about the quoted part'
i don't expect you to read everything, just a bit more than his wiki page before judging him. it is unreasonable to presume you know him when you don't, that's all. you really will concede nothing.
behaviours and beliefs can be measured, but only in sociological terms, not in scientific. for example, the concept of freedom can only be discussed in sociological terms. there is no way to scientifically discuss freedom.
that which isn't physical isn't real. it is merely concept, merely philosophy. how on earth can you be sure that something that isn't physical exists? it is exactly the same defence as people who believe ghosts and spirits. everything that can be said to exist does so in the physical world. where else is there to exist? i would include every thing, thoughts, ideas, concepts, to exist in the physical world just like everything else. if you are claiming that for some reason human thought it special compared to everything else in the universe in that it exists outside of the physical world, then the onus is on you to prove it.
where do memes exist? where does something that isn't physical exist?
