Do you get to decide for yourself what is evidence and what conclusion that evidence supports?
Or is there a standard that something must surpass to be considered evidence and a methodology to showing how the evidence necessarily supports the conclusion being claimed by it.
For example, is the...

$61 Billion to Ukraine. The cost of war?
Think of it this way, someone is getting that $61 billion to continue the war.
Should the US be supporting the continuation of war?

How I define physical is anything which can be detected by our senses or can affect something which we can detect by our senses.

I suspect that I'd have been following a more Druidic tradition if the Romans hadn't gone about forcing their God on the world.

External influences can certainly change what we desire. That of course is the basis of advertising. To manipulate what you desire.
This is done by causing you to focus on a specific desire. Associating the product with sex, power, fame. Or even causing you to avoid a product/behavior by...
But despite all the things that spacetime enables us to predict and know, it isn’t real in the same way that an atom is real. There’s nothing you can do to “detect” spacetime directly; you can only detect the individual quanta of matter and energy that exist within your spacetime. We’ve found a...
