Why are reddit "scientists" so intent on claiming that the mind is purely physical? Has no one read Nagel or Jackson?

It's just the next step in the war on consciousness.
They are permavirgins and desire everyone to be meatpuppets so they can control them. Their highest dream is some kind of Skinner apparatus that instantly allows them to control any human they encounter through some physical phenomena.

The idea that the human being is purely physical is entirely evil and should be categorically denied a priori.

Why are 4chan "dualists" so intent on claiming that the mind is purely non-physical? Has no one read Armstrong or Davidson or Searle?

thomas nagel is literally an idiot and not even jackson himself still thinks there was a successful argument in the paper "what mary didn't know"

>thomas nagel is literally an idiot

reductionism is cancer

Anything with an affect can be measured. What does it even mean to be physical? There are some things not within our spectrum to sense, and the same for bats. Look more to the physical sciences to understand why you phenomenalists sound like idiots. For the brain and consciousness, read Stanislas Deheane and obviously Hameroff and Penrose.

The laws of physics aren't so boring and sciency after all.

but they're all hacks whose work has been derided by philosophers and scientists alike

Refuting vitalism doesn't inherently mean every thing is "dead". It refutes the entire dichotomy.

i'm not sure if it's a dichotomy. what are the other options? biological naturalism?

>>9898998
Please provide me with one critique of Dehaene. I'm actually writing a paper about "Deciphering How the Brain Codes Our Thoughts" so I'd love to hear any comments
