- scott_s 17y agoIt's not my model of reality because it's not conscious thought that is responsible for the illusion.
- a-priori 17y agoWhy? It's clumsy and not colloquial. It's the properties of the the brain we're talking about. I see no mind-body dualism implied by saying "the brain is such a curious thing".
- wlievens 17y agoDualism is just fine in casual conversation. Avoid it in science.
