Monist vs. Dualist Experiment?

[Neo-Scholastic]

Whether you realize it or not, Genkaus, you are exploiting an ambiguity in your position that allows you to have your cake and eat it too. If qualia, and other mental processes are functions, then what are you saying implements those functions other than brain processes? What exactly do you say performs the “functions” of sensation, apprehension, judgment, and reasoning? Is it the mental processes? Or is it the brain processes? Or is it the brain processes and the mental ones together? Or are they one and the same?

The brain performs the functions of sensation, apprehension, judgement and reasoning. Which is why those functions are referred to as brain processes. Since, on an abstract level, they can be considered independently from the brain, they are also referred to as mental processes. There is no ambiguity here.

So you are saying that they are the same thing differently described, one and the same.
