This allows us to assert that the new and bizarre thing demonstrates that physicalism must be false. This is called Strawman Limited Physicalism.

I just tried a search on google:

Your search - "Strawman Limited Physicalism" - did not match any documents.

Suggestions:

* Make sure all words are spelled correctly.
* Try different keywords.
* Try more general keywords.
