There are some good objections to substance dualism. His is not one of them. Moreover, substance dualism is not a single theory, but rather a heading under which multiple theories fall.
The point is you didn't specify how he was ignorant of such as you say.
And where did I say substance dualism is a single theory? Few positions in philosophy can be pinned down as such.
One of the reasons that makes me doubt your claim Chad (aside from his education in philosophy) is that in the description of his video he provides links to reputable sources (ex: Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy) as to what he means by 'substance' in relation to substance dualism and my preliminary look seems to indicate he's using it correctly.
