it once we die our flesh goes in the ground it decays and and we're lost forever into nothingness a very cheery view of life but there could be no ghosts but then what happens if you do believe in god okay uh what if you have the correct worldview you're not a materialist i think in that case actually ghosts are even more implausible because if by ghosts we're talking about the souls of of dead people still wandering the earth and maybe we have to define what we what we mean by ghosts i have to assume we're not talking about say demons or other supernatural entities that's a different subject ghosts we must understand to be dead human beings whose spirits are still lingering on earth but why would god keep disembodied dead people around to haunt old hotels and to scare the customers or whatever why would god send souls back to earth or keep them there to shut doors you know in a creepy way to make us a spoon fly across the room oh god when we die this is the theological view if we're damned if we're condemned then we then then our destination is is we we go to hell we we go to the destination reserved for such souls if we're not then we go in the other direction so i'm not sure i see the room theologically for ghosts are these condemned souls who are being spared hell are these saved redeemed souls who still have to stick around on earth scaring old ladies or is it that god can't figure out what to do with them so they're kind of like in a waiting room situation it just doesn't make any sense that's the theological problem and then there's the empirical problem that in the information age with cameras everywhere nobody's produced any truly compelling documented evidence of ghosts i maybe call this the bigfoot conundrum everybody's seeing them they have beautiful hair but in in this day and age when everyone's got cameras somehow he never ends up on camera why are there so many stories well because as human beings we tend to detect agency in things even when it isn't there there's actually a word for this in psychology it's called the hyperactive agency detection device and that's when we have this tendency as human beings you know you're you're walking outside at night and then a a bush is rustling and really it's the wind that made the bush rustle but in your mind you immediately assume that there's a serial killer hiding in the bushes right or a ghost your mind tricks you into thinking that everything that's happening there's some sort of agency behind it and that's where the stories come from not from actual ghosts all right well uh one thing i can tell you as a four-star chef myself amateur chef but i consider myself a four-star chef your kitchen is not complete without great kitchen knives and that's why you need cami coda kamikota taps into more than NUMBER_TOKEN years of traditional techniques from honshu japan kamikota also uses steel sourced from mills in japan and each blade is crafted using techniques that have been honed and perfected by generations of knife smiths each knife comes in a beautiful heavy duty ash wood box and makes sure that the knife is stored safely as well each
