Consider a synthesis of the two -- and then perhaps this is the wrong question to be asking. The mind may appear physical in the ways we can observe it, even if we were to record and analyze every single neuron and synapse and draw accurate conclusions on thought. This is the same as if you were to write a 3D game called 'medschool' and have doctors in training, who are also programs inside that program, dissect brains to see how they operate -- yet the code is running elsewhere. Is that mind, which is just a rendering, considered physical?
The dualist argument appears akin to the Bergsonian Élan vital. It seems to imply there is a hypostasis where physical matter meets this otherness matter. Consider that, according to that theory, if the brain were to be fully observed in the manner stated above, there would be no conclusions able to be drawn from its actions. What a flaw in the universe! I do not believe this system which has been so elegantly designed would have such a gaping hole. Physicalism++
