I think I just came across an argument that shows that duality is not only wrong but impossible. There are 8 billion human brains on the planet right now. On duality there is absolutely no explanation why I'm produced by this particular brain over another. You could say that this first-person experience is just what happens when my brain is functioning properly, but wouldn't that be true of every brain that supposedly produces consciousness? There doesn't seem to be a truth-maker that makes it the case that I'm produced by this brain and not another. In nonduality, it's all one consciousness, so it makes sense that I'm conscious from this body's perspective, because all there is is consciousness.
I don't know if that makes sense, but it's so obvious to me that dualism can't be the case.

A comment by Frank Yang in the comment section below this video on YT:
"You are correct. Many people who get into non duality get stuck by identifying with awareness and using it as a new identity to suppress and bypass their human “stuff”.
There’s a tendency for the mind to reify (make things solid, grasp onto phenomenons as if they have an essence), whether that’s reifying “awareness” or “human” it’s actually just 2 sides of the same view in extremity/duality.
By clinging onto “awareness” you are identifying with Being and Eternity. By clinging onto “no self” or “emptiness” you are craving for Non-Being and you skew your view to Nihilism, likewise, clinging onto “the human” is just another version of the same process of reification.
You are neither awareness nor human, nor anything in between.
The Middle Way transcends but integrates all of these views, is beyond but includes both existence and non existence, as you see clearly how all phenomenons from the most divine to the most mundane are co dependently arisen, thus empty of essence.
This does not mean things don’t exist, but they don’t exist INDEPENDENTLY, and INHERENTLY.
Im not trying to establish another view here on the intellectual level. This is merely a reminder to let go of grasping at the most subtle level experientially and sensorially."
