Quantum mechanics did not result from overcoming the idea that there must be a material, mechanical explanation for all the phenomena physicists study.
What about quantum mechanics gives us any reason to think that there’s anything wrong with Eliezer’s commitment to understanding minds in terms of brains?
And could you give a specific example of a difficulty in neuroscience or philosophy that results from a commitment to understanding minds in terms of brains? (I find it easier to think of ones that come from a commitment to not understanding minds in terms of brains.)
