[QUOTE="Sanoy, post: 73962744, member: 397693"] Dualism and Materialism are "empirically equivalent theories" because under dualsim the soul uses the brain to interact with the world. The brain is the piano and the soul is the pianist. Damaging the piano says nothing about the pianist. So all you are showing is correlation that is expected on both theories. The "damage problem" is actually a problem only for materialism, because it's left [I]explained[/I] why the music is poor on dualism, and left [I]unexplained[/I] why the music continues to play at all on materialism ([URL='https://link.springer.com/epdf/10.1007/s13752-015-0219-x?shared_access_token=pt0aZ7mu0ie74idoP1QApfe4RwlQNchNByi7wbcMAY6O-42K1MUCAY9mLditBolxvJ0OcVY8fTlaNZ9xfCJS7iDay4AIJgZ100sr0CEVGR0AH8S8LAcT2V1zTgBxBaMJQO84XI-u8VlSGca8-AtZrA==']A[/URL], [URL='https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17475053']B[/URL], [URL='https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1511795']C[/URL], and much more). You will find that many of the "classic" materialist examples actually show the opposite of what they claim. I listed several reason why you are not your brain earlier in the thread. I will list one here for you. The law of identity states that A and B are identical when everything true of A is also true of B. There are things true of my mind that are not true of my brain, therefore they are not the same. If you still think it has been demonstrated that you are your brain try googling "proof that we are our brains". [/QUOTE]
