The more I learned about the world, the less room there has been for souls.

Souls fit fine in a world where ghosts, mediums, possession by sprits, apparitions from the afterlife, dryads, and/or the katabasis of Orpheus are taken seriously. But each of these has turned out to have been mundane (in the old sense of the word) or pure fiction.

And yet you believe there could be a ghost in the machine…
