Dying quickly if not dead

Here is an account of where the battle stands.  It is not a religious debate but a science one.  Whittmann is an active researcher and writes well.  I was encouraged to see Kastrup's take listed as one of the prominent competing theories.   But, it is surely over as to Physicalism's impact on science going forward, despite the majority still clinging to falsities of the past.

Quote:Physicalism Is Dead
Alternative views on the mind-body problem are becoming increasingly popular.

 More and more people realize the absurdity of the extreme version of physicalism: Consciousness does not exist. Scientists are also increasingly realizing that, in principle, it is not possible to explain how phenomenal consciousness is “generated” or “produced” by the brain. There is movement on the scene. The above-mentioned alternative concepts of what subjective experience means might as well feel strange at first sight. At least we are out of an ideological deadlock. We are being freed to think out of the box to comprehend what consciousness might mean to us humans.
