Yes, this is how we know that mind-body dualism is false. May I interest you in some books by Paul M. Churchland?

That's right, and it's better than Gibbon's. I recommend you start with Plato's Camera. (Although if you are really still entertaining mind-body dualism, Churchland dropped that one dead in an earlier and easier book, Matter and Consciousness.)

I'm not worried. Just thought that you might like some book recs, that's all. What have you been reading lately? I mean, if you don't mind my prying. I just like the cut of your jib.

a lot of my reading time is my weekly comics pull, but in between those, don't tell anyone but i only just now cracked open Fanged Noumena. "Kant, Capital and the Prohibition of Incest" was delightful, loved the swerve into advocacy of feminist death squads at the end

Yeah, when I was a younger man I was into reading philosophy and whatnot, but now that I'm getting older and my brain has started to noticeably deterioriate I've realized that the only advantage I have is in studying history, which is what I do.

I've been trying to learn about the history of nuclear power production all over the world, because we cannot keep burning fossil carbon. For the same reason, I've also recently gotten interested in the electrical engineering involve in electrical power distribution.
