> It seems like a lot of people, including the author, don't even notice that this is a question. They seem to assume that computer-like information processing is all that happens in a human mind, and that awareness itself doesn't even exist as something to ponder. This seems to be a misjudgement. There are actually plenty of people who have studied traditional philosophy and dualistic approaches to consciousness for years and eventually arrived at a naturalistic conclusion after they've studied neuroscience. I would actually be very much interested in the numbers for the opposite case: How many subscribers to dualism have knowledge in neuroscience, human behavioral biology, the theory of evolution and physics?
