Romansh: If we don't believe in a dualistic mind, then we have to accept that what we perceive as conscious is actually a historical account, whether the history be measured in seconds or picoseconds. > > if we are willing to argue for a dualistic mind, then I eagerly await the evidence for such a concept.-Read the research on NDE's. Consciousness survives clinical death when the brain cannot function for a short period of time, with veridical episodes indicating consciousness at work during such periods. How is that possible without dualism?
