What color/qualia argument?

This is just a back-door attempt at giving man a soul.
Is there a soul-body problem?
No; soul is evidently just empty metaphysical speculation with no basis in
fact.
Ditto for spirit, mind, or any similar idea.

It is clear that Simple Septic is speaking only of and for himself when
he declares that there is no such thing as a mind.
One other problem that Simple Septic does not address is that he is
conveying his opinions in a form (ideas) that he also claims do not
exist.
