Thank you. My thoughts parallel yours quite closely. Although I am not strictly dualist or rather not Dualist at all when I am on my guard.
I would consider myself a materialist, if I had to pick a side. My point, perhaps not well made, is that dualism is alive and well in modern neuroscience, despite the fact that almost all modern neuroscientists will tell you that they are strict materialists. Merely stating that "consciousness comes from the brain" does nothing to solve the problem of consciousness (if such a thing exists).

It made its point much better when I read rather than skimmed it.
