"When we look at all the evidence we can conclude that when you damage the brain you damage the mind, when you change the brain you change the mind, and there are no mental phenomena separate from brain phenomena - within the limits of our tools to detect such things."- Steven Novella

Novella is no philosopher. The fact that when you change the brain, you change the mind, does not undermine the dualist position, which is a position Novella seems unable to characterize properly. Not that he actually tried. Also, I don't where he gets off saying, "there are no mental phenomena separate from brain phenomena", I guess I'll just take his word for it.

Now that its clear Novella doesn't know what hes talking about then I think you should actually start making some sense skidoo.
