Quote by: Yasa  And as you may know, Descartes' postulation sparked the mind-body problem that many philosophers tried to solve and is still unresolved to this day. How is it that immaterial substance can affect matterial things? There is no good explanation and most appeal to ignorance and cop out by saying "it's impossible to know how it works", "magic" (or some version of saying this), "through god's unknowable powers", etc. | Granted. All I was saying is that the way electron behave is similar to how Descartes said his little men that transfer data from mind to body behave (that was his somewhat silly idea).
As I said I am not a dualist, but there are similar problems that both idealists and materialists have to deal with.
