...the law of conservation is not true... — Metaphysician Undercover

This is why I am a dualist. I believe materialism provides us with some of the picture. And Immaterialism fills in the rest. — Benj96

(1) The universe is an isolated system.
(2) In an isolated system, the total amount of energy is constant.
(3) If souls interact with bodies, they change the total amount of
energy of the universe.
(4) Souls interact with bodies.
(5) 1–4 are inconsistent.
(6) Therefore, reject 4. — José Gusmão Rodrigues

I'm only suggesting that physics, or even the notion of physicality as we adults know of it, is impossible without first holding some estimate of what identity and causality are - these being metaphysical concepts. — javra

This is what this thread is about, you incredibly incompetent people. — Bartricks

Science is not perfect. It's often misused. It's only a tool. But it's the best tool we have. — Carl Sagan

I prefer the label physicalist rather than materialist. — Down The Rabbit Hole

Just a dualist. Between the material and immaterial. — Benj96

Additionally takeaways are that Beto and Abrams should stop running for senate, they do not have what it takes. — Maw

I don't accept that philosophers [propose] "theories", just interpretations of theories or thought-experiments in order to provoke conjectures about the world. A "materialist theory" makes no sense to me. Today we have eliminative materialists and physicalists: the latter denotes conceptual dependence of a physical (neurological) substrate and the former only a principle of filtering-out folk concepts from conjectures about "consciousness" or mind. Neither are "theories" as far as I can tell. — 180 Proof

The issue is whether the principle of the conservation of energy is COMPATIBLE with dualism. — Bartricks

Oh, no one is interested ... perhaps, because it is incredibly stupid? — Bartricks

However, part of that hard-line Reductionist Realist stance seems to be the questionable assumption that our current understanding of Quantum physics is complete. It also presumes that there is a well-defined border between Empirical Science (observation) and Theoretical Science (conjecture). — Gnomon

I believe you predictable a blue wave, no? Didn't really materialize, but you were closer than what the media was saying. — Mikie

(a) The smallest neuronal structures in the human brain are both three orders of magnitude too large and too hot for quantum activity (e.g. superposition, entanglement, etc) to cohere. Thus, the human brain is an entirely classical processing system.

(b) Mind – phenomenal self-modeling (PSM) – is how sufficiently complex (e.g. human) brains reflexively interactive with their environments.

(c) "Consciousness", an entirely classical emergent phenomenon, is mind feeling itself mind-ing (e.g. updating its PSM).

... a materialist source of consciousness. — GLEN willows

... pain - mental event .. — Bartricks

180 Proof Yeah, er, that made no sense. — Bartricks

In the OP I argued that dualism does not violate the principle of the conservation of energy. — Bartricks

... if A is true, can B be as well?

What you don't do is say "A isn't true" or 'B isn't true". That's to ignore entirely the claim that is being defended.

Dude ... do you then presume yourself to thee solipsist? — javra

One, how does this - logically, coherently - evidence the unreality and/or physicality of consciousness again?

Currently we use the Planck scale, to individuate distinct, fundamental space-time units. But I would argue this is completely fictitious ... — Metaphysician Undercover
