say we find out there's a "life after death parallel wolrd" and we start measuring and explaining it
is it still a separate world? would we call them ghost? if the consciousness remains active, wouldn't we consider them people with rights? like, who says not having a tangible body means you can't own things??? see? this is how I start writin scifi help

@Efi Yes it's separate, we'd call them ghosts, humanity has a hard enough time considering people as people let alone ghosts, and millennia of case law

@troubleMoney wrongest answer award

@Efi it's not in the slightest how it should be, but it's how I'd see humanity dealing with a vast land of the dead

@troubleMoney well, yah, but you sait "it is", not "people would see it as", so myah, y'know? you know... you're smart

@Efi fair point

But once humanity has a bee in its bonnet it eventually ends up either actually or effectively being reality

@troubleMoney I hate that part
it makes me not want to go out
it keeps me away from my well deserved hormones

@Efi the good part is that you can convince humanity that it's wrong about something

The bad part is that it takes bloody ages and is absolutely no help in the short term
