Thomas Nagel described in paper "What's It Like to Be a Bat" he made the point that if you told a cave man that matter is energy [as in relativity] He wouldn't have the cultural acuity to understand you. Likewise, we may not have the concepts we need to understand the mind-body dilemma yet. We might be able to develop a conceptual framework in the future. Maybe Nagel's view from nowhere? Great video, as usual!
The View From Nowhere was one of the most important books for me in college. I'm very glad someone else has decided to comment on it.
