Whoops. Typo. That should be, "So much so that it’s rather uncommon for many from the scientific community to even recognize it as an unestablished assumption.” That is many in the scientific community have tended to adopt a kind of Cartesian view with mind simply discarded from the system. There are many problems with this (exactly where to place the laws of physics for example) yet it’s constantly surprising to me how many scientists adopt just such a view. (I think Lawrence Krauss moves in that direction for example - although at least he gets the substrate a little more sophisticated than Descartes)
