Kicking ass and taking names. Nice article! ħuman 03:48, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
- Would now be a good time to reveal that I am in fact a sockpuppet of Nebuchadnezzar, and that therefore my article on massage was pristinely perfect and required no intervention by senior editors?--User:Brxbrx/sig 03:52, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
- (ec)Thank you, my good man. I would have gone into Egnor's arguments further since they cross over into psych/neuroscience, but Novella has so thoroughly demolished them in so many ways so many times (and a lot of them are PRATTs anyway) that I couldn't be arsed, as they say.

- You're welcome. I love a new article that I can't find a single damn typo or grammage thing to fix. ħuman 04:37, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
An article by him[edit]
I recently found an article by Michael Egnor in the godandscience.org website where he presents a clinical case as evidence for mind-brain dualism. There are some things that I don't understand about the article.
- "For example, both dualism and strict materialism predict that severe brain injury will often severely impair mental function." I don't understand why dualism necessarily implies that mental function will be altered.
- The difference between "brain function" and "mental function."
- How an fMRI makes a case for mind-body dualism.
