The mind/body problem largely concerns the relationship between quantitative effects that are subject to the scientific method and qualitative affects which generally aren't. I'm pretty sure this conversation won't go anywhere beyond bare assertions, since I don't believe either Rik or Astonished are well versed in the relevant literature. Astonished doesn't even know who Thomas Nagel is and is too stupid to understand why he matters.

Why does he matter?
