Well, dualism is very similar to how I see the world, so I guess I'm a dualist, at least approximately. Why would anyone pretend not to be a dualist? Conscious

  > Consciousness is not a physical thing Citation needed. You can't prove that, and the only honest answer right now is "we don't know how it works, though we have some clues."

    Well the way I look at it, consciousness (perceptions, feelings) is the only thing that exists, physical world is just a mental model consistent with our perceptions. Physics is basically a description of the patterns in our consciousness. For example, we see and hear rocks always drop down - so we imagine there's gravity causing it. By the way, this is not an opinion or just an idea that I like, after a lot of thinking I see it as the only worldview that makes sense, i.e. it can be "proven" (in a very loose sense of that word).
