Articulation and conceptualization are, like all processes, “embedded” in reality, in matterspacetime.

We believe we are somehow different or greater than the other animals. Yet, our complexity and complacency, because of our evolution, come from the very animals we look down upon and ridicule. Where is there nobility and greatness in such a perspective?
It is a mistake to conflate evolution with progress. Evolution does not lead to betterment, it leads to the survival of the best adapted creatures to the environment it lives within.
There is no progress in evolution.

How does one justify a mental substance when there is no evidence of a body-independent mind? The substantialness of something like a unicorn or someone like Harry Potter is as real as the imagination makes it. Are we not duped by the same trick of the imagination for the mind?

Either way, when you describe a situation you are already making choices about what to include, exclude, highlight, or obscure.
All utterances are, in the end, prescriptions.

All along we are stuck in the paradigm where the mind owns the body, where the mind is seen as whole and the body part.
When we have a body owner paradigm the body is whole and the mind is part.
By flipping the paradigm many problems dissolve. What once were hard problems become easy ones.

When I say “my mind” I no longer mean the owner is that of a souls or spirit but the owner of the mind is the body.
The owner of the mind is the body. I can no longer say my body either.

Universals are without matterspacetime. Particularly obvious is the timeless nature of universals. The fact that “they” are unchanging means they also must not have spatial location, for if they did they would be particulars. And by not being particulars they are without substance.
Universals do not exist in reality.
But “where” then do they reside? To hold a universal is for a matter-body to have such a thought. Universals are a process of the body. Someone or something must hold on to the conceptualization of universals.
When that body ceases to hold those thoughts, it either has forgotten them or has perished.
You do not find universals in reality. They mapped into the reality by a body in reality.

Reality is being, and not be.
Language is not a reflection of reality, but a reflection of our minds and our concepts.

Consider a reality without either matter, space, or time. Such a reality can only ever be a considered reality (conceived) and not be reality as such. We observe the inviolate-ability and interdependence of matterspacetime, both as seeing it and accepting it.
