This is just more woo woo.

Just because something is unmeasurable doesn’t mean it cannot be proven wrong.

Just because something is derived from philosophy doesn’t mean it cannot be proven to be wrong in the real world.

> Science can only help us understand things within spacetime. Anything beyond that is philosophy.

Even if one takes this statement to be correct, it doesn’t imply that any specific philosophical idea about “beyond space time” is correct.

And frankly even the “philosophy” of an after life can easily be dispensed with. There’s absolutely no reason to suggest an after life, or a duality between the body and “identity” exists other than “we would like to believe so”.

It’s not just awful science but also bad philosophy.
