@PhilosophyExp@sjzara I don't think epiphenomenalism needs "ruling out". It's a positive claim with absolutely no proof to back it up.
@Nazifpour @sjzara It does need ruling out if one's proof that dualism is false *doesn't* rule it out.

@PhilosophyExp@Nazifpour We disagree about what is needed to rule it out. In science, complete causal explanation rules out extras. -
@PhilosophyExp@Nazifpour Science says physicalism can completely explain why one has a belief in epiphenomenalism. That's enough for me! -
@PhilosophyExp@Nazifpour Epiphenomenalism is 'science+', but no-one has yet explained what the '+' adds in terms of reasons for belief. -
@sjzara This discussion is impossible on Twitter. :) -
@PhilosophyExp And I can see 'suppose we have had this argument I have won' isn't going to work either :) -
@PhilosophyExp I'm trying very hard to write about this. I expect harsh reviews :)

@PhilosophyExp@sjzara If I said "x causes y", that's a claim. If I say "something causes x and y", that's not even a claim.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
