The fact that thinking about baseball prevents premature ejaculation refutes epiphenomenalism.
7:52. That is one of the most insightful things I've ever read on this blog
6:01: Not so fast (as it were)--
Except that overlooks the fact that some prior suggestion that thinking about baseball was the plausible physical cause (with epiphenomenal accompaniment) of the actual physical basis for the later reflective epiphenomenal ad hoc association of that cause to the relevant and real physical (and not-so-fast) event, but then mistaking the epiphenomenal association for the true cause of the (not-so-fast) physical event.
wv: bailin: You were bailin on the resilience of epiphenomenalism.
Yeah, but if mental events are identical to physical events, epiphenomenalism is predicated on a false dichotomy.
If mental events are not identical to physical events, then even if physical events caused those mental events, if those mental events cause anything then epiphenomenalism is simply false.
Either way, epiphenomenalism loses.

You assume that mental events are causally effective. Evidence?

As in what proposition do you put?
