I'm not claiming my worldview is empirically testable or even verifiable
Then why did you say "(don't take my word for it; try it out" ? Isn't that explicitly saying it is both testable and verifiable?

But before anyone took relativity seriously, two things happened:
1. A constant speed of light independent of any reference frame turned out to be a logical consequence of the empirically-verified laws of electromagnetism, and
2. Measurements of the speed of light confirmed that it was constant in all reference frames we were capable of measuring.
Where is the corresponding theory and empirical observations to support dualism?
Right, so either way, the slip of paper doesn't survive.
I'm not claiming my worldview is empirically testable or even verifiable. I just thought it would be fun to write it down in the off chance that it is true, so that people can later amuse themselves in hindsight.
If you were a scientist in the 1600s, and you read in the newspaper in the anonymous comments section that someone thought that "Time slows down the faster your travel. Time and space are two orthogonal dimensions of the same invisible fabric.", wouldn't it be funny for you to later find out that the random stranger that gave you that forgettable, idiotically insane theory in the paper actually somehow had astonishing insight?
