    “The soul is a spook”

    I’m sorry I understand those words not in those orders though, are you saying the soul is an olde timey anti-black racial slur or that it’s inherently scary?

      A spook is a pretty niche concept from philosophy, I believe coined by Max Stirner

      It basically means a social construct that is being taken as if it is a real factual thing instead of something made up?

      I am bad at explaining stuff but I hope you get the gist of it.

      spook

      could also indicate ghost or intelligence operative. I don’t assume they were going racist with it.

      Spook = ghost (aka a soul unhoused a living body)
