"Modern science" peddles the absurd "reductionist materialist" solution to the old mind-body problem.
you forgot to put scare quotes around "absurd" as well, since you appear to be smuggling in dubious assumptions throughout your loaded sentence.
babaganusz,
You clearly don't see reductionist materialism as absurd.
that's clear to you? neat mind-reading trick.
maybe i've been given no reason to trust your assessment of it as "reductionist", and have only ever seen that qualifier leveled by folks who prefer special pleading to appeal to unfalsifiable notions.
It was implicit in what you wrote. "Reductionist" here means the view that everything reduces to material phenomena that can be measured.
