No, I wouldn't do that "also", it would be a duplication of effort. The Dissent forum is a good idea, and occasionally it is even used for pure dissent. Its actual purpose seems to be to attract newcomers that others expect to be in need of re-education.I've been around way too long for remedial re-grooving. There is no enforcement of party line in Objectivism (unless, I suppose, one is trying to write things for ARI), so I feel no need to be sent back to school. I am more interested in discussion than dissent. Dissent is the nature of discussion, anyway. That would include discussing the limitations of Aristotle beyond the fundamental law of identity. Maybe even that, under certain conditions, if you're going at it with quantum physics guys. :)
As to consciousness-body separation, nothing could be further from my view. Ghosts in the Machine and Spirits in the Material World generally do best as the very good Police songs they are. It's a fun concept to play with in art, it's a way of seeing things from a different angle for a minute, but that's the better part of it. The denial of man being an organic whole is responsible for more things than we'll ever know.
