People are meat with the cognitive ability to identify ourselves as meat. There are no ghosts.

If that were true, damaging the meat suit wouldn't damage the ghost. The simplest explanation for damage to consciousness and memory caused by brain damage is that consciousness is a product of the brain.
If you feel otherwise, that's fine, but asserting what you need to be true as what is is bad for honesty in general.

Remember, /r/Showerthoughts is for showerthoughts, not "thoughts had in the shower!"
