Tycho. Definitely Tycho.

The architecture of the human has been elusive because philosophy has gone through decay and rarely will we find philosophy and science residing in the same person.

At least during the Renaissance such people existed, but we know how history elapsed. By the time of Hume, down through Hegel to the present, philosophy resides with the swine just like the prodigal son.

Unlike cars, which we pick by how slick, how fast it can go, how many chicks you can attract, many humans pick their earth vehicle by the challenges it makes them overcome.

For therein lies the key reason for our being here. For being human.

To find joy in lack, meaning in bitterness and love in the depths of the deepest hate.

Let me begin by noting that our subject is not only an ancient one, but that it has never been met with consensus. Even among the thinkers who inform my thought a shared foundation has spawned both monism and dualism. I believe that your argument is dualist in nature.

On the other hand, I believe that the body also entails the human and that such a separation is a misconception whose origins I believe are explicable.

Allow me to start from history. Since the temple of Amun-Ra and deeper into the past, to the time when my first teacher in the 80's taught me, the universe was made of atoms and the basic atom was symbolized by the circle. Later investigation on other continents reveals the same foundations of human understanding.

The most clear explication of this idea have been made by the Indian philosophical traditions in their variety, and at least by the Pythagorean and Jewish tradition.

By means of geometry the universe is shown to be an atom, and within it, many atoms that are of similar structure and function. And by extension, humans are such an atom.

The forms we see are expressions of the primal atom according to energic levels and logic of the interactions of the diverse forms of atoms expressing the fundamental atom.

Therefore we can not be correct when we argue that there is a dualism in nature.
