I suspect a lot of the most interesting investigations of the next few hundred years will be in sorting out whether this is the case, and if so, how it all works.
- tsimionescu 5y agoMapping out the human mind, understanding andaybe even simulating it on a computer will surely be one of the most fascinating directions of study over the next few hundred years, agreed. However, I am not aware of a single argument for dualism beyond 'we don't yet know how it works' or 'I can imagine a p-zombie/qualia therefore it must exist and it disproves that the mind is something like computation'.
