First and foremost, the strict dualism between mind and body is here to name a few, between spatially extended things on the one hand and and mental spiritual reality on the other. Descartes had spoken to two entities, body and mind, a stand-alone, irreducible reality status. Vonnegut may find this interesting as well.
