Other philosophy communities have only interpreted the world in various ways. The point, however, is to change it. [ x ]

I don't understand the problem, the mind is emergant from the physical. The physical little wires in my brain make the "mind". So of course it can influence my body, and my body can influence my mind, because the mind is part of the body.
That's physicalism just using different words for mind and body, but acknowledging that both are really the same thing: the physical.
Yea, I suppose it would be.
Sometimes I prefer just laying my thoughts out and letting other people label them as they want to. There are too many dang labels these days
Anomalous monism
That's begging the question
It's the only conclusion I can make from the evidence I have seen. I didn't intend for it to be my full reasoning.
