i want a version where "yes/no/maybe" is replaced with "do you want X to exist" (yes/no/don't care) and "do you think X exists" (yes/no/in a way)
for the record, here are my answers:
| X | Do you believe X exists? | Do you think X should exist? |
|---|---|---|
| karma | no | no |
| an afterlife | no | yes but depends strongly on the type of afterlife. at a minimum, hell and purgatory must not exist or not be permanent, but i would strongly prefer some afterlife to exist. |
| reincarnation | no | yes, (and it would be reasonably preferable afterlife) |
| objective morality | depends strongly on what "objective" means but mostly yes | don't care (it probably would be impossible to use as an practical moral guide) |
| manifestation | no, except in the sense that positive thinking can help you achieve your personal goals | it would probably be bad for the world if it existed but also yes |
| deja vu | yes, but it's mundane | don't care |
| interpretable dreams | yes, but meaningful to oneself and frequently doesn't have a clear or deep meaning (most dreams are explained by "I watched a movie yesterday and it's just the plot of the movie") | yes but only for non-psychoanalysis purposes |
| souls | definitely not | absolutely not |
| a deity/deities | no | no (unless they're disinterested in humanity) |
| prophecy | no and determinism probably isn't true or meaningful | no, unless the future is prophesised to be good |
| sin/salvation | definitely not | absolutely not |
| spirits | no | only if the ghost afterlife is good |
