- That is, mind/body dualism and related philosophical confusions, not duality as such (for that, see nondualism ). This is a founding myth of Western thought and possibly all thought, but it's wrong wrong. Very hard to see past it. Computation and cybernetics were supposed to get us beyond dualism but for the most part just replicated the mind/body distinction in software/hardware.
- These both explain, in quite different ways, why dualism might be a cognitive universal.

- See also pantheism, Gregory Bateson, Francisco Varela (esp his paper "Not One, Not Two")

- this page should be combined with dualism and it should be easy to do that. Need a better system.
