https://youtube/watch?v=Q6IJSVshoZg for Cafe del Mar The possibility of affecting objects without touching them just exploded physicalism and materialism. It has been common in recent years to ridicule Descartess ghost in the machine in postulating mind as distinct from body. Well, Newton came along and he did not exorcise the ghost in the machine (motion of particles in space and time): he exorcised the machine and left the ghost intact (instant gravity forces across space / action-at-a-distance / god). So now the ghost is left and the machine isnt there. And the mind has mystical properties. (Noam Chomsky on Newtons discovery of gravity and Action-at-a-Distance)
