Ok, that’s what I originally thought but I was giving him the benefit of the doubt.
There is a REASON that the vast majority of neuroscientists (and scientists in general) are not dualists. They weren’t bought out by the state, there is no conspiracy. The evidence for the mind being an emergent product of the brain is overwhelming. People are machines, just made out of meat.
I can’t take a psychologist (or psychiatrist) seriously if he believes in a disembodied mind/soul, or if he thinks that such a mind has choices that are not determined by the multitude of factors being processed by the brain. Determined, not influenced.
That’s the most fundamental disagreement we seem to have, and is really a different discussion.
