That's a theory, no?

And what's your "theory"?

The alternative is mind-body dualism, and it certainly hasn't been proven one way or the other.

I don't have any particularly unique theory.

Me, personally, don't subscribe to any theory other then maybe, I am thinking, so I exist.

And what are you implying in the post?
