How is dualism supposed to resolve this question, any ideas? I don't really see what it brings to the table on this. The article doesn't seem to address that.

What frustrates me with dualism generally is that it doesn't actually explain anything, it just seems to say "we don't understand how this works physically, therefore woo". It's the god of the gaps argument all over again. I may be seriously mischaracterising it, and that's not my intention. I've just never come across any positive arguments for dualism having any explanatory power on it's own terms, and I'll be very happy if I'm wrong on that. What characteristics or attributes might this non-physical quantity or influence or 'stuff' have that answers any of these questions?
