  • I don't think you understand the term "deconstruct".

  • Alright, I watched.

    Care to define substance?

    What's your point in referring to the statement of red light being a certain measurement of wavelength? I don't really see anything pertinent being suggested here.

    On the concept of subjective personal reality, where are you going to be when neuroscience is able to tell what people are thinking? You're fighting a losing battle against time.

  • It seems like you're creating definitions and then declaring that your opposition has not explained them rather than giving an account to support your views. I'll continue watching, but this is my initial impression given the three 'discrepancies' that you list.

  • substance dualism is a very naive position to hold; for instance to hold it you are denying that there is a problem in the interaction between 2 different substance, one which is extensible and can be broken down, and another which is inextensible and is fundamentaly so different that it may as well not exist for all the interacting with the physical substance it can do.

  • Garbage video.

  • Boy, with defenders like this, substance dualism needs no enemies.

  • Nobody's saying you OUGHT to adopt determinism, simply that it's true.

  • Well done. For a different take on this you might want to see my #22, and #25. However, just because the attack on substance dualism is fallacious does not mean that we are 2 entities. Rather the human person is a unity with material and immaterial aspects. Peace, DP

  • this is stupid

  • @migkillertwo Your arguments and points are flawed. Nice try though. Trying to refute QS will take more than just that.
