gollark: Yes. You can observe people doing mourning and its effect on their behaviour and such. You can observe the effect of *belief in* the afterlife, but not the afterlife itself unless you have a model of it which is actually... interactable with.
gollark: If there's no way to actually detect or interact with it, i.e. it existing is indistinguishable from it not existing, the question of "does it exist" is not very meaningful.
gollark: You can use advanced "multiplication" technology to compute "expected value".
gollark: Ah, but it has a probability of still existing.
gollark: What do you mean "a priori"? Just come up with some ridiculous """pure logical proof""" that the afterlife exists regardless of observations of it?
