the entirety of his position basically boils down to metaphysical dualism.
You have missed the point, the issue has very little to do with "metaphysical dualism", it's about the explanatory power of psychedelic neuroscience, - ie what can we learn about psychedelic drugs by using MRI scanners to scan the brains of people who have taken weak doses of psychedelics?
it offers absolutely no objective or novel understanding of psychedelic drugs.
This ^ is precisely the charge against this recent neuroscience research, it offers no new understanding of psychedelic drugs, it is just headline-grabbing sensationalism to impress the rubes, and it has succeeded
