“One analysis of multiple personality disorder is that you have...” 全部笔记(1) 去书内
This section explores common-sense intuitions about mind-body separation, focused on the idea of multiple personalities/selves occupying a single body: The text notes this idea appears in pop culture (e.g., the comedy All of Me, where two people share one body) and is often framed as a lay understanding of multiple personality disorder: many intuitively view the condition as "multiple people fighting for control of one body" (though the passage acknowledges the actual disorder is more complex). This intuition aligns with broader dualist thinking—like exorcism beliefs, where "something else" (a separate entity) takes over a body to explain unusual behavior. Together, these examples show how everyday thinking treats the "self" as distinct from the physical body, allowing for the idea that one body can host multiple non-physical selves.

“most people around the world, all religions and most people in...” 全部笔记(1) 去书内
This passage highlights a widespread cross-cultural intuition tied to dualism: most people (across time, regions, and religions) believe humans can survive bodily destruction. Though cultural details vary—some imagine souls going to Heaven/Hell, others to reincarnation, and some to spirit worlds—all share the core idea: the "self" is distinct from the physical body. The body (a temporary, destructible physical thing) can perish, while the non-physical self persists. This belief aligns with earlier points about common-sense dualism: it mirrors intuitions like "multiple personalities in one body" or exorcism beliefs (where a separate entity controls a body). Even in modern contexts (e.g., U.S. surveys), this view remains prevalent, reflecting how deeply mind-body separation is embedded in global cultural and intuitive thinking

“One thing is our dualism is enmeshed in our language” 全部笔记(1) 去书内
This passage links Descartes’ dualism (mind-body separation) to everyday "common sense"—particularly through language: Descartes’ doubt method led him to frame the mind (a thinking, non-material substance) as distinct from the uncertain, physical body. The text then explains this dualism is embedded in how we speak: we refer to "my arm," "my brain," etc., using possessive language that treats the self as separate from its physical parts (as if we "own" our bodies/brains). This intuition also shapes views of personal identity: common sense accepts that a person can remain the same despite radical bodily changes (e.g., fictional stories where a teen wakes up in an older body). Language and cultural examples (like such movies) reflect the widespread, intuitive acceptance of mind-body dualism.

“But there is one thing, Descartes concluded, that he cannot...” 全部笔记(1) 去书内
This section centers on Descartes’ breakthrough amid radical doubt: He extended his skepticism to personal sanity (not thinking one is crazy doesn’t prove sanity) and whether he was dreaming. Yet he identified one indubitable truth: he cannot doubt that he is thinking—doubting this act would itself require thinking, making the doubt self-refuting. This "cogito" (I think, therefore I am) became the foundation for his dualism: he argued the mind (a thinking substance) is distinct from the body. The mind’s essence is thought, and it does not depend on physical space or material things—unlike the body, which is always uncertain. Thus, Descartes concluded the soul (mind) is entirely separate from the physical body.

“The second argument is, of course, quite famous and this was...” 全部笔记(1) 去书内
This passage unpacks key arguments from Descartes: "Humans are not mere machines" Language is reflexive: humans can choose their speech freely (e.g., replying "Pretty damn good" to "How are you?" instead of a fixed response). Since machines lack this capacity for autonomous choice, Descartes concludes humans are not just machines. Method of doubt & the "evil demon" hypothesis Descartes used radical doubt to question certainty: he doubted the existence of God, his social context, family/friends, and even his own experiences. He proposed the "evil demon" scenario (echoed in The Matrix): a malevolent being might deceive humans into perceiving a false reality. He even doubted his own body—citing madmen who falsely believe they have extra limbs as evidence that bodily perceptions are not fully reliable. These ideas frame Descartes’ quest to find unshakable certainty amid universal doubt.
