Substance Dualism vs. Physicalism Explanatory Power part-1

This is a response to a series of videos by Telemantros (and others indirectly) claiming that substance dualism better explains the mind and brain than physicalism. I take a physical/reductionist view and explain why I think this explains the mind and brain better.

@ManicEightBall I guess you have seen Qualiasoup's video on this subject? Or haven't you? Otherwise, I suggest you do - although it can only be found as a mirror on Youtube...

@pellevinken

Yes, I saw it when he first put it up. It is very good. (much better than I could do)

good response, how did you post a video over 10 min long?

[ManicEightBall]

Thanks. I think the limit is just under 11 minutes. As long winded as I am, I'm sure I'll find out someday.

big bang, evolution, ... etc theories need the universe's laws (logic) to run. where does this logic come from? or is it random? i.e. those (unobserved !) other universes for which there is no logic will not have "intelligent" beings like us asking this questions about the origins of consciousness. maybe this whole universe is just a Matrix. what we call "soul" is just our software and operating system. ;-)
