As for intuitions trumping science, that was unclear. What I mean is that, in my view, >philosophers still often take their intuitions to be more powerful evidence than the >trends of science (e.g. reductionism) - and again I can point to this example.

The comments on your linked article really do a good job of demonstrating the enormous gulf between many philosophical thinkers and the LW community. I especially enjoyed the comments about how physicalism always triumphs because it expands to include new strange idea. So, the dualists understand that their beliefs are not based on evidence, and in fact they sneer at evidence as if its a form of cheating.

Sorry but I do not think this patient can be saved.
