“In Plato’s Timaeus you begin to see what we would now call dualism… Aristotle systematizes this… Even so, radical dualism has not yet appeared. Leap to the 1600s. René Descartes codifies mind–body dualism… All subsequent modern philosophy wrestles with that divide—some thinkers tilt toward mind (idealism), others toward matter (materialism)… Contemporary cognitive science debates—“the hard problem” of consciousness—are variations on those early-modern dilemmas. For tens of thousands of years animism was humanity’s baseline; the last few centuries are the anomaly.”
—Matthew Segall, Prehensions, Propositions, and the Cosmological Commons

Two receivers, one station.
So this is a little bit fascinating.
The link will take you to a YouTube clip from the Jimmy Kimmel Live show. It starts of with an interview of two Australian identical twins following a car jacking, and then Jimmy Kimmel interviews them live.
Pay attention to the synchronicity of speech and the instances where they simultaneously speak the exact same words.
Here is the video (I have skipped forward to the relevant segment).
A materialist/physicalist might say that this is simply a case of identical twins having the same brain architecture (and as sisters, a similar lived experience) that predisposes this sort of matched speech.
A panpsychist or idealist would suggest that this is a case of two receivers being tuned to the same radio station (the mind at large).
What do you think?
A fascinating case of near identical speech.

To say that war can be avoided with ideals is nothing more than the nonsense of a cowardly god!

He [Pauli] was as sceptical of a purely idealistic view as of a purely materialistic one.

A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt
All men in whose character there is not an element of hardened baseness must admit the need in our public life of those qualities which we somewhat vaguely group together when we speak of “reform,” and all men of sound mind must also admit the need of efficiency.
There are, of course, men of such low moral type, or of such ingrained cynicism, that they do not believe in the possibility of making anything better, or do not care to see things better. There are also men who are slightly disordered mentally, or who are cursed with a moral twist which makes them champion reforms less from a desire to do good to others than as a kind of tribute to their own righteousness, for the sake of emphasizing their own superiority. From neither of these classes can we get any real help in the unending struggle for righteousness.
There remains the great body of the people, including the entire body of those through whom the salvation of the people must ultimately be worked out. All these men combine or seek to combine in varying degrees the quality of striving after the ideal, that is, the quality which makes men reformers, and the quality of so striving through practical methods — the quality which makes men efficient. Both qualities are absolutely essential. The absence of either makes the presence of the other worthless or worse.
Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901-1909)

An idealist is one who, on noticing that a rose smells better than a cabbage, concludes that it will make better soup.

Idealism vs. Materialism
In this image I tried to weave together indigenous Australian dot-painting technique with Byzantine mosaics of Jesus and Hindu depictions of various deities to try to signify common threads between Eastern and Western forms of philosophical Idealism as well as the indigenous Australian 'Dreamtime'. Notice the eyes looking up toward the figure's right hemisphere.
