“If you choose to reject the dualism, you end up either with a disembodied mind or with no mind at all,” – Malafouris.

The dualism between the mind and body, and in extension the world and objects around it, can cause a desire to look for a separation between the two. I think that a lot of this is due to our wanting for a strong sense of self, which would be impossible without this separation. When Malafouris proposes that there is no such separation, I think that can cause a panic in a lot of people.
